VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Pole Lima Beans 



-For Extra-Heavy Crops 



Culture — Pole Limas are even less hardy than the Bush type and should not be planted until toward 

 the end of May or when all danger of frost is past. Set the poles about 4 feet apart each way and 

 plant 6 to 8 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are up, thin out to 3 plants to a pole. 

 Pinch off the ends when plants overrun the top of the poles. It is good practice to use a shovelful of 

 rich, light, well-rotted compost to each hill. One pound of seed will plant 75 to 100 hills.

 fertile ground which has been enriched with well-rotted manure or a complete fertilizer. As they are 

 less hardy than the bush varieties start sowing about a week later. One pound for 100 poles or hills.
