Seibert s arly Lima short and rarely contain more than 
4 beans, the total yield compares very favorably with 
other varieties. Pods are opened easily, owing to the fact

Pole Beans require considerable care. They are, when properly 
grown, of long bearing period, more sensitive to wet and ex- 
tremes of temperature than the dwarf varieties and should not 
be planted as early. Set in rows about 4 feet apart, preferably 
running north and south, allowing about 3 feet between the poles 
in the row. Plant 6 to 8 beans around each pole and thin to 
3 to 4 plants.
