Fig. 150. — Young melon plants are this much ahead of the season if started in overturned sods or boxes. crops, and can not be planted until the danger of frost is past, the Lima beans require even a higher temperature than the others. In fact, it is best to delay the planting of the Limas until fully two weeks after it is deemed safe to plant the string beans. Of the string beans, there are two classes, the green and the wax beans. Both are easily grown, requiring only good tillage, and if the " vining " varieties are raised, a support, such as is provided for tall peas. Dwarf Lima beans are now grown, although less than thirty years ago only the pole Limas were known. The dwarf, small-seeded varieties are rather to be preferred for a home garden, though an Indian " wigwam " built.
