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 poultiy wire; 
for this method plant in regular rows, two or three Beans every 
2 feet. (We have bean poles.) Cultivate often (not when slants 
are wet). One pound of seed to 50 feet of row; 35 lbs. per acre.

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 handsone pods seem

variety on my recommendation. It is the best of all Fole Limas.
