Culture —Pole Limas require rich loamy soil 
and, being less hardy than the Bush type, 
should not be planted until the ground is 
thoroughly warm. They are vigorous grow' 
ers and require 8 to 10 ft. strong poles set 4 
ft. apart each way. Plant 4 to 6 beans around 
each pole, placing with eyes down and cover 
with V/i to 2 ins. of soil. When well started, 
thin to 3 plants to a pole. Use rich, welhrotted 
cofnpost to each hill and cultivate often.
