the first part of May (for all except Limas) to the latter 
part of May, in hills 4 feet each way. Limas should not be 
planted until warm weather has fairly set in. One quart

beans to a hill and of the smaller sorts about 200 hills. 
Poles 8 to 10 feet long should be firmly set in the hills 
before planting.
