New Stringless Green Pod Bean (Tendergreen) 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
Culture —These require pole 8 to 10 ft. long. The 
Beans should be planted in May if the season is suit¬ 
able. Set poles 4 feet apart each way, and plant 4 to 6 
beans, about 1 inch deep, around each pole. Thin out 
to three plants to a pole, if the soil is rich; pinch off 
the ends of plants when they overrun the top of the 
poles to effect a more perfect growth below. Lima 
Beans for early use may be grown in pots in frames and 
transplanted. 1 quart to 100 poles. About 90 days.

with plump, thin-skinned, tender, fine flavored beans.

Culture —The seed should not be planted before the ground becomes light and 
warm, in favorable seasons, usually about the middle of April to first of May. The 
soil should be rich and mellow, and the seeds scattered about 3 in. apart in drills 
2 ft. apart, and covered about 2 in. deep. Successive sowings made at intervals of 
about 2 weeks until August 15, will give a plentiful supply of Beans all season. 1 qt. 
of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 2 bus. will sow an acre. We furnish 10c. packages 
of all Beans.
