heat than other Beans. They should not be planted until the ground is thoroughly 
warmed. Bush Limas should be sown on good garden soil in 2% to 3 feet rows,

POLE LIMAS 
How to Grow Pole Lima Beans 
Pole Lima Beans are easily grown in any rich, well-drained garden soil. Should 
be given support, the most frequently used being rough poles, spaced 3 to 4 feet 
apart each way. Sow seeds when soil has become warm; put 6 to 8 seeds (prefer- 
ably with the eyes down) around each pole, cover with 2 inches of fine soil, and 
firm to assist germination. When plants are well started, thin so that three or four 
of the strongest remain to a pole. A packet will plant 10 poles, 1 lb. for 50 poles. 
Small plantings may be made along a fence or trellis, putting several beans 1 foot 
apart, later thinning to one strong plant. 
One pound will plant 75 to 100 hills
