POLE, or RUNNING BEANS 
Sow from the first of May (for all except 
Limas) to the latter part of May, in hills 4 feet 
each way. Limas should not be planted until 
warm weather has fairly set in. One quart of 
Limas will plant about 100 hills, allowing four 
or five beans to a hill, and of the smaller sorts 
about 200 hills. Poles 8 to 10 feet long should 
be firmly set in the hills before planting seed. 
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 more per- 
fect growth below.
