Pole, or Running Beans 



(Slangett 93o[)nen) 



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 especially tender, and the rule for late outside planting with them 

 is rigid. Painstaking cultivators, who are usually the most successful, 

 plant them eye downward, after setting stout poles for every hill. 

 AH sorts of late-ripening Pole Beans are benefited by piiicbing 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.
