DWARF, or BUSH LIMA BEANS 



CULTURE. — Select land that is especially warm, rich and well supplied with vegetable fibre or humus. Plant eye downward 

 and two inches deep as soon as the soil becomes warm in the spring. Make the rows 2 feet apart, and give to each plant 6 inches 

 space in the row. A top dressing of poultry manure, ashes or some good fertilizer or compost around the plants will be of much 

 benefit in hastening maturity and increasing the yield. One pound will plant 50 feet of row.
