All nnderthis head require poles S 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. The Lima Beans are very susceptible of cold and wet, and aj»t to rot in 

 the ground, and should not be planted until the season is favorable and the ground warm. Fix 

 poles in the ground, 4 feet apart each way, and plant four tr» six beans about half an inch deep 

 around each pole, placing the eye downwards, and thin out to three plants to a pole, if the soil 

 be rich ; pinch otf the ends when the plants overrun the top of the poles, to effect more {lerfect 

 growth below. They succeed l^est in sandy loam, with a shovelful of rich, light, and well-rotted 

 compost to each hill, well incorporated. They transplant easily if grown in frames, so as to fill 

 up around the poles, where they miss or fail to come up, owing to unfavorable weather. The
