Pole, or 

 Running Beans 



(©tangen ScBnen) 



Less hardy than the Bush Beans, 

 and should be planted several weeks 

 later; when the ground is warmer. 

 Plant the seeds in slightly raised 

 hills 3 or 4 feet apart, four or five 

 seeds to a hill. The Limas are espe- 

 cially tender, and the rule for late 

 outside planting with them is rigid. 

 Painstaking cultivators, who are 

 usually the most successful, plant 

 them ej-e downward, after setting 

 stout poles for every hill. All sorts 

 of late-ripening Pole Beans are bene- 

 fited hy pinching the tips of the vines 

 back when they are about 5 feet 

 high. A quart of Limas will plant 

 about 100 hills; a quart of smaller 

 sorts about 200.
