BEANS (Pole or Running). 



German, Stangen-Bohne. — French, Haricots d Rames. — Spanish, Jtidias. 

 One quart will plant about one hundred and fifty hills ; ten to twelve quarts for one acre. 



These are more tender, and require rather more care in culture, than the bush beans, and 

 should be sown two weeks later; they succeed best in sandy loam, which should be liberally 

 enriched with short manure in the hills, which are formed according to the variety, from three to 

 four feet apart; from five to six seeds are planted in each hill, about two inches deep, leaving a 

 space in the centre for the pole. Limas and Sievas will not grow until the weather and ground 

 are warm ; if planted before, they are apt to rot in the ground.

 two are sufficient to each pole; do not plant too closely, and beans will 

 set early, and continue bearing until killed by frost ....
