POLE LIMA BEANS 
HOW TO GROW THEM.—About the first to the middle of 
May, plant four to six Beans around poles 8 to 10 feet high, 
setting the poles 4 feet apart each way. Thin to three plants, if 
soil is rich. They may also be grown on trellis or poultry wire; 
for this method plant in regular rows, two or three Beans every 
2 feet. Poles may readily be obtained at any lumber-yard. 
Cultivate often (not when plants are wet).

broad, thick, meaty Beans, holding their fresh greenish color, 
even when dried, are crowded tightly in the pods. The vines 
are so tremendously prolific that the handsome pods seem 
literally crammed on to every inch of the branches. Flant this

POLE BEANS 
Two pounds will plant 150 hills; about 24 pounds to the acre. 
Do not think of hurrying your crop by too early planting or 
you may have a failure—the seed will rot readily if the soil is 
cold and wet. Wait until the soil is thoroughly warmed.
