(1 quart to 150 hills; 10 to 12 auarts to the acre.). Add 15 cents per quart 

 on beans if to be sent by mail. 



CULTURE OP POLE BEANS. Choose light soil and make small hills 

 three feet apart, having previously spaded deeply and fertilized. Plant 

 long pole two feet deep in the center of the hills. Allow six beans to each 

 hill, covering them barely beneath the surface, their eyes downward. Do 

 not allow more than three to climb a pole, but remove extra plants to 

 hills where less than three have sprouted. The lima bean is very delicate 

 and often, from slight causes, fails to sprout. They should not be planted 

 until the ground is warm.

 pole beans. The numerous pods, borne in large clusters, are 5 to 7

 ripe. The dry beans are excellent for winter use. Seed white. Packet,
