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 2 weeks after the first planting of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 21/2 to 

 3 feet apart, spacing the seed 6 to 8 inches apart, and plant them edgewise w^ith \ 

 the eye dovirnward. Cover 2 inches deep. Later thin to stand 16 to 18 inches apart 

 in the rows. Cultivate shallow and frequently luitil the plants blossom. Pick the 

 pods as soon as the beans are of edible size which, depending upon the variety, wUl 

 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. 



60 IMPROVED FORDHOOK BUSH (7S days) ^ 



Larger and Thicker Pods than the Famous Fordhook Bush Lima 



The strong and erect bushy plants produce a thick growth of dark green foliage, protecting the 

 blossoms and pods from direct sunlight. The large thick pods are produced in clusters of- 

 from 5 to 8, and contain 4 or 5 thick, meaty, plump, green beans of excellent flavor. The 

 strong, vigorous plants, 24 to 30 inches in height, spread out nearly 2 ft. and stand up well

 Improved Fordhook will bear profusely, ripening its crop at an early date.
