Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
CULTURE—Pole Limas are even 
less hardy than the bush type and 
should not be planted until all danger 
of frost is passed. Set the poles 
about 4 feet apart each way and plant 
6 to 8 beans, eyes downward, around 
each pole. When plants are up, thin 
out to 3 plants to a pole. Use a 
shovelful of rich, light, well rotted 
compost to each hill. One pound of 
seed will plant 75 to 100 hills.
