POLE or RUNNING BEANS 



(©tangenbofinen) 



These and Bush Limas are less 

 hardy than other Bush Beans, and 

 should be planted several weeks 

 later, when the ground is warmer. 

 Plant the seeds in slightly raised 

 hills, 5 to 6 feet apart, four or five 

 seeds to a hill. The Limas are 

 especially tender and the rule for 

 late outside planting with them is 

 rigid. Painstaking cultivators who 

 are usually the most successful, 

 plant them eye downward, after 

 setting stout poles for every hill. 

 All sorts of late-ripening Pole 

 Beans are benefited by pinching 

 the tips of the vines back when they 

 are about 5 feet high. Lima Beans 

 are considered by many the very 

 finest of all Beans, and there is 

 nothing in the vegetable line that 

 can take their place. A quart of 

 Limas will plant about 100 hills; a 

 quart of smaller sorts about 200.
