POLE or RUNNING BEANS 
Culture. — Sow during May as the soil becomes warm and dry, and in hills four feet apart each 
way. Poles should be 8 or 9 feet long and set firmly in the ground. Plant 5 to 8 beans around 
each pole and later thin out to 5 vines. Wires may be used instead of poles. Cover seed 2 
inches deep. One pound of seed will plant 100 poles. Limas should not be planted until warm 
weather has fairly set in. One quart of Limas will plant 75 hills.
