The Beans should be planted the middle of May if the season is suitable. Lima Beans are apt to rot if planted too early. Set poles 4 feet apart each way, and plant 4 to 6 Beans, about 1 inch deep, around each pole. Thin out to 3 plants to a pole, if the soil is rich; pinch off the ends of plants when they overrun the top of the poles, to effect more perfect growth below. They succeed best in sandy loam, with a shovelful of rich, light and well-rotted compost to each hill, w^ell incorporated. Lima Beans for early use may be grown in frames and transplanted. Dreer's Improved Lima. (See page 9) This variety is without doubt the best for private gardens. Pt., 25 cts. (postpaid, 33 cts.); qt.,45 cts. (postpaid, 60 cts.) ; 4
