One quart unit plant about 150 
hills. 
The planting of the various 
sorts of Pole Beans should be 
delayed a week or more after 
the first planting of the early 
dwarf sorts. The Limas, being 
very tender, will do better if 
not planted in the open ground 
before the first of June. Plant 
in hills about 3 feet apart and 
1 or 2 inches deep, using 5 or 6 
seeds to each hill, and set a 
pole firmly in the centre. Man¬ 
ure liberally in the hill with 
well composted fertilizer. Thin 
the plants, leaving three in each 
hill. Beans of a flat shape 
should be placed in the soil 
with the eyo down; planted 
thus they come up more readily.
