Spanish, “Jidas” 
It is a good policy to plant Pole Beans at least a week 
later than the first planting of dwarf varieties because 
they are not as hardy. The poles are usually set at the 
time of planting. Plant four or five beans to a hill, in 
hills three or four feet apart, each way. Some growers 
raise the hills a little to insure good drainage. Hill- 
applications of well composted manure are of value. One 
quart of Limas will plant 100 hills; one quart of the 
smaller seeded sorts about 200 hills. All large seeded 
Limas should he planted eye down to insure quick 
growth. 
Beans at Packet Prices sent post-paid. 
All Beans sold by weight. Two pounds equals about 
one quart.
