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 1/4 to 2 ins. of soil. When well started, 
thin to 3 plants to a pole. Use rich, well-rotted 
compost to each hill and cultivate often.
