POLE, OR RUNNING BEANS. 



Stangen Bohnen, Geb. Haricots a ramez, Fe. Frijol vastago, Sp. 



All under this head require poles 8 to 10 feet long, and 

 should not be planted until the ground is warm, as they 

 are more tender than the dwarf varieties. Plant about the 

 middle of May if the season is suitable. Lima Beans are 

 apt to rot in the ground, and should not be planted until 

 the ground is warm. Set poles 4 feet apart each way, and 

 plant 4 to 6 beans about 1 inch deep around each pole, 

 placing the eye downwards, and thin out to 3 plants to a 

 pole, if the soil is rich ; pinch off the ends when the plants 

 overrun the top of the poles, to effect more perfect growth 

 below. They succeed best in sandy loam, with a shovelful 

 of rich, light, and well-rotted compost to each hill, well 

 incorporated. Lima beans for early use may be grown in 

 frames and transplanted. The German and Giant Wax are 

 superior as snap-shorts ; pods being tender and stringless. 

 Extra Early Lima. A very early variety bearing 



beans similar in size and shape to Large Lima. The 



pods are short, plump, and are borne in clusters in 



profusion ; the yield will be found quite equal to Large 



Lima, with the advantage of being quite ten davs 



earlier. Pkt. 25 cts., qt. $.1.00. 

 Dreer's Improved Lima. Very productive and of 



superior quality; when green they are nearly as large 



as the Large Lima, thicker, sweeter, more tender and 



nutritious, remaining green in the pod a long time 



after maturing. Pkt. 10 cts., qt. 50 cts., peck $3.00. 

 King of the Garden. A vigorous grower, bearing 



profusely, large pods, varying in length from 5 to 8 



inches. The beans are large and of rich flavor. As 



the vines grow luxuriantly, two are sufficient to each 



pole. AVhen not too closely planted they set be.ins 



earlv, and continue bearing until killed by frost. Per 



pkt." 15 cts., qt. 60 cts., peck $4.00. 



Dreer's Lima. 



Large White Lima. One of the best varieties either 

 green or dry. This sort is grown in large quantities 

 for market." Pkt. 10 cts., qt 40 cts., peck $2.50.
