Bush Lima Beans 
Culture: Lima Beans grow best on rich, well-drained, porous soil. As seed is sensitive to cold and wet, do not plant until all danger 
of frost is over; wait until the soil is warm and moderately dry, which is usually about the middle of May in the vicinity of Phila- 
delphia. In most sections limas are planted about 2 weeks after the first planting of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 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 
18 to 24 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; 1 lb., 100 ft.; use 60 Ibs. to an acre. x
