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 4 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 8 or 10 feet long should be firmly set in the cen- 

 ter of the hills before putting in the seed.
