Plant after danger of frost, in a warm, fertile and well drained, mellow

row and 3 to 4 feet between rows. Use 8- to 9-foot poles set 2 to 3 feet 
in the ground. Where seed is dropped 4 inches apart in 4- to 5-foot rows, 
trellis may be built with well braced end poles. Shallow planting in a 
well drained soil to overcome soil-borne organisms, which are frequently 
responsible for a poor stand. Pole Beans may be planted with corn.

Pole Lima Beans

specialized in growing Lima Beans for family and hotel trade. We find 
the Bean is far more productive than any other Pole Lima. The large 
pods hang in clusters of from 5 to 8, which makes them ea^y to gather, 
each having 5 to 6 beans in a pod.
