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.

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.
