Plant about the middle of May. The Lima Beans are very susccp- 

 iible of cold and wet, and apt to rot in the ground, and should not be 

 ]:lanted until the season is favorable and the ground warm. Fix poles 

 m the ground four feet apart each way, and plant four to six beans 

 about an inch deep around each pole. A shovel-fuli of rich, light and 

 well-rotted compost to each hill would be beneficial. They may be 

 forwarded much earlier by sprouting them in a frame, under glass, and 

 planting them out when the weather becomes mild, as they bear trans- 

 planting without any difficulty. The Horticultural and German Wax 

 Bean are superior varieties, either as snap shorts or shelled.
