Cultivation of Bush Luna Beans. — Select soil that is warm, rich, and well supplied with vegetable matter or humus.

post around the plants will aid greatly in hastening maturity, besides increasing the yield.

POLE BEANS 
Cultivation of Pole Beans. — Pole beans, especially Lima beans, show better results from a warm and very rich, loamy 
soil. The seed should be planted when the soil has become thoroughly warmed through in the spring. Should the ground 
be cold or soggy, the seed will rot. Poles from 5 to 8 feet in length should be set in rows 4 feet apart and "AYi to 4 feet 
between the poles. Plant four to six beans around each pole, and as the plants make a showing thin out to three plants to 
the pole. Cultivate freely, and if possible top-dress around each hill with a quantity of well-rotted manure compost or some 
good fertilizer. When hoeing, work this dressing well into the soil. Sprouted Lima beans transplant easily. Climbing 
varieties of French beans may be sown under glass whenever desired, in pots large enough to allow staking. Be cautious 
in sowing the French varieties out of doors until quite sure that the warm season is well established. One quart of pole 
beans will plant two hundred hills. One quart of pole Lima beans will plant but one hundred hills.
