 Culture.— Sow as the soil becomes warm and dry, from the first part of May (for all except Limas) to 



the latter part of May, in hills four feet apart each way. 

 Limas should not be planted until warm weather has fairly 

 set in. One quart of Limas will plant about 100 hills, 

 allowing four or five Beans to a hill, and of the smaller sorts 

 about 200 hills. Poles eight or ten feet long should be firmly 

 set in the center of the hills before putting in the seed.
