DWARF OR BUSH LIMA. — Cultural Hints. — Select soil that is 
warm, rich, and well supplied with vegetable matter or liumus. 
Plant as early as soil can be worked in the spring. Prepare 
the rows 2 ft. apart, and allow each plant a space of b in in the 
row. As these beans are rather slow in growth, a top-dressing 
of well-rotted manure or some good fertilizer or compost around 
the plants will aid greatly in hastening maturity.

upright growth, protecting the pods from contact with the soil,

POLE BEANS. — Cultural Hints. — Pole Beans, especially Lima Beans, 
show better results in a warm rich loamy soil. The seed should 
be planted when the soil has become thoroughly warmed through 
in the spring. Poles should be set in rows 4 ft. apart and 2 to 3 
ft. between the poles. Plant 4 to 6 beans around each pole, and 
as the plants make a showing thin out to 3 plants to the pole. 
Cultivate freely, and if possible topdress around each hill with a 
quantity of well-rotted manure compost or some good fertilizer, 
and when hoeing, work this into the soil. Climbing varieties of 
French Beans may be sown under glass in pots large enough to 
allow staking whenever desired. Delay sowing the French 
varieties out of doors until quite sure that the warm season is well 
established. 1 quart of pole Beans will plant 200 hills. 1 quart 
of pole Lima Beans will plant 100 hills.
