61 Wood’s Prolific Bush Lima Bean 


BUSH LIMAS 
We are particularly proud of our fine lima bean seed. Every kind is produced under 
the most ideal conditions, and the care we give the seed is plainly evident in the 
crops you have in your garden. Lima beans grow best on rich, well-drained, porous 
soil. Do not plant until all danger of frost is over; wait until the soil is warm and 
moderately dry (usually the middle of May in the vicinity of Philadelphia). Generally 
limas are planted about 2 weeks after the first planting of bush or snap beans. Plant 
in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart, spacing the seed 6 in. apart, and set them edgewise with the 
eye downward and cover with 2 in. of soil. Later thin to stand 12 to 18 in. apart in 
the rows. Cultivate shallow and frequently until the plants blossom. Pick the pods 
as soon as the beans are of edible size. A packet will plant about 25 ft. of row; use 
1 Ib. for 100 ft.; use 60 Ibs. to an acre. Turn to page 13 for pole limas. 
58 FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA BEAN 
True bush potato lima. Thick, meaty beans (75 days) ye 
The strong, erect, and bushy plants produce a thick growth of dark green foliage 
which protects the blossoms and pods from direct sunlight. 
The large, thick pods are produced in clusters of from 5 to 8, and contain 3 to 5 thick, 
meaty, plump always-green beans of excellent flavor. The sturdy, vigorous plants 
grow 24 to 30 inches high, spread out nearly 2 feet, and stand up well against wind 
and rain. They begin to bear early'and continue to produce for a long time. Because 
of its earliness, the large size of the bean, and long bearing season this strain is most 
popular, and it is especially appreciated in sections where the summers are compara- 
tively short. Our seed stock is the best you’ve ever seen.

64 Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima Bean 
Enormous pods filled with 4 or sever fut beans of the finest quality 
jays 
Produces an enormous crop of attractive large pods measuring 5 
to 6 in. long and 1% in. wide. Compared with Burpee’s Bush 
Lima, the pods are considerably larger and the individual beans, 
either green or dry, are nearly twice as thick. The sturdy bushes 
are loaded with pods borne in clusters of from 5 to 8 and well 
protected by the vigorous and heavy foliage. It matures 3 to 
5 days earlier than Burpee’s Bush Lima. In fertile soil, the 
individual bushes will grow to a height of nearly 30 in. and spread 
as much as 2 ft. This variety has been grown extensively for home 
and market use for nearly 40 years. We consider a long record 
like this to be the finest recommendation a vegetable can receive, 
and we exert special effort to maintain true, original stock.
