Pole Lima Beans -For Extra-Heavy Crops Culture—Pole Limas are even less hardy than the Bush type and should not be planted until toward the end of May or when all danger of frost is past. Set the poles about 4 feet apart each way and plant 6 to 8 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are up, thin out to 3 plants to a pole. Pinch off the ends when plants overrun the top of the poles. It is good practice to use a shovelful of rich, light, well-rotted compost to each hill. One pound of seed will plant 75 to 100 hills. 121 King of the Garden. 88 days. An im- proved Carpenteria which yields a heavy crop.
