ush Lima Beans 



Culture— Lima Beans are very susceptible to cold and seeds should not be planted until the ground 

 has become thoroughly warm. Being gross feeders, they should be sown on well-enriched land, with the 

 rows 2i feet apart, placing the beans six inches apart in the row, eye down. In light soil, cover about 

 one inch deep, less on heavier soils. A good fertilizer applied at the rate of 20 pounds to every hundred 

 feet of row, when the plants begin to bloom, wiU materially increase the yields. Hill plants slightly earlier 

 in the season to hold the pods off the ground. One pound will plant 50 feet of row.
