CULTURE. Choose light soil and make small hills 3 feet apart, having previously 

 spaded deeply and fertilized. Plant long pole 2 feet deep in the center of the hills. 

 Allow 6 beans to each hill, covering them barely beneath the surface, their eyes down- 

 ward. Do not allow more than 3 to climb a pole, but remove extra plants to hills where 

 less than 3 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. 



Bolgiano's New Giant Podded Emerald Isle Pole Lima. Emerald Isle 

 Pole Limas are the largest podded, largest seeded, heaviest cropper of all 

 Limas. They are earlier, more prolific and much larger podded than the 

 King of the Garden. The mammoth pods measure 7 to 8% inches in length 

 and \y 2 to 2 inches in width, and are borne in great clusters. The vines 

 branch or stool out from the main stalk close to the ground, each vine pro- ' 

 ducing 10 to 15 lateral branches. Emerald Isle Pole Lima Beans continue 

 to bear most abundantly until killed by frost. This is the most perfect Pole 

 Lima Bean ever introduced. It grows green, it dries green, it stays green.
