Fordhook, and the plants grow as tall, but spread more. A distinct improvement is the

POLE LIMA OR BUTTER BEANS 
CULTURE—Lima Beans are not as hardy as Snap Beans and should not be planted before the ground 
is warm and frost igs over. For the tall varieties, set 6- to 8-foot poles firmly in the center of the 
hills 3 feet apart in 4-foot rows before the seeds are planted. Cover the beans 1% inches deep; culti- 
vate only when the vines are dry. One pound of the large seeded varieties plants about 70 hills; 60 
pounds to the acre. One pound of the small seeded varieties plants about 150 hills; 30 pounds to the 
acre. :
