POLE LIMA BEANS 
HOW TO GROW THEM.—About the first to the middle of 
May, plant 6 to 8 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. (We have bean poles.) Cultivate often (not when plants 
are wet). One pound of seed to 50 feet of row; 35 lbs. per acre.

Schell’s Wonder Poie Lima, VYendeuily fre 
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 onto every inch of the branches. Plant this 
variety on my recommendation. It is the best of all Pole Limas.

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.
