Bush Lima Beans 



Culture: Lima Beans grow best on rich, well-drained, porous soil. Do not plant until danger of 

 frost is over, the soil warm and moderately dry, and the nights quite warm, as Lima Beans are 

 a tender vegetable. In most sections, Limas are planted about i weeks after the first planting 

 of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 2 H to i feet apart, spacing the seed 6 to 8 inches apart, 

 and plant them edgewise with the eye downwards. Cover 2 inches deep. Cultivate shallow and 

 frequently until the plants blossom. Pick the pods as soon as the beans are of edible size 

 which depending upon the variety will be ready for picking 65 to 85 days after planting. 

 One packet will plant 25 feet of row; one lb. 150 feet; 45 to 60 lbs. an acre.
