Beets Are Becoming a Very Important and Profitable Winter and Spring Crop in Florida 
Green Podded Pole Beans 
Bush Lima Beans 
Plant 1 peck of seed per acre 
Culture of Green-Podded Pole Beans. Pole beans are later in 
maturing than bush string beans, but bear for a longer season 
and yield more than bush beans. They are somewhat more 
tender than bush beans. For best results pole beans should 
be supported by wires or by good strong poles to keep them off 
the ground. Poles should be eight to nine feet long and set 
firmly in the ground, in rows four feet apart, and three feet 
apart in the row. Plant six to eight seeds around each pole, 
thinning out to four plants later. Cover seed one and one-half 
to two inches.
