POLE BEANS 
CULTURE. Pole varieties 
are less hardy than the 
bush varieties, and must 
not be planted until the 
weather is settled and the 
ground warm. Set the poles 
about two to three feet 
apart, and in each hill 
plant six to eight beans, 
thinning when well started 
to the four strongest. A 
packet plants 15 hills; 1 Ib., 
100 hills.

LIMA BEANS 
CULTURE. Limas should be 
planted a little later than the 
other running beans, in the 
most favorable location possi- 
ble, as they are very late in 
maturing. Always plant with 
the eye down. The SBush 
Lima is more easily grown 
than the tall, and is earlier 
and more economical of space. 
The Pole Limas yield heavier.

BEETS 
Authorities recommend beets most highly for their 
vitamins as well as for their rich mineral and tonic prop- 
erties. 
CULTURE. Any well-prepared light garden soil will 
produce good beets, although a rich, sandy loam brings 
the best results. Sow the seed about 1 inch deep in rows 
15 to 24 inches apart. When plants are about 6 inches 
high they should be thinned to 3 or 4 plants to the foot. 
Those taken out at this time make excellent greens.
