POLE LIMA BEANS

Where poles can be secured, these Beans are more pro- 
ductive than the Bush varieties. Set poles 3 feet apart, enrich 
the soil in the hills by mixing with it a liberal supply of ferti- 
lizer or well-rotted manure. Set Beans edgewise with the eye 
down. Tie up the tendrils as often as necessary until they have 
taken a firm hold on the poles.

ENGLISH BROAD BEANS 
English Broad Windsor. The Broad Bean is a great 
favorite in England. It is grown entirely as a crop for shell- 
ing. The Beans are somewhat larger than Limas, and are 
delicious when cooked. English Broad Beans are very 
hardy, and the seeds should be sown just as soon as the 
ground opens — at the same time as Peas. Plant in double 
rows, allowing 9 inches between the two lines forming each 
row and 3 feet between the double rows; 2 inches is the 
proper depth for the seed. Keep the groxmd clear, and 
pinch out the tops when the plants are in bloom. The 
black-fly is the greatest enemy to Broad Beans, but it 
can be destroyed by spraying with "Black-Leaf 40" or 
dusting with tobacco dust." j4b. 30 cts., lb. 50 cts., 2 lbs.
