Bush 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 2% 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, will 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. 
107 Fordhook Bush Lima 
75 days. This variety is well known 
} wherever Lima Beans are grown as it com- 
bines productiveness with choice quality. 
The plants make a vigorous, upright growth 
so that the pods are held well above the soil 
surface. This keeps them clean and avoids 
rust and rot even during wet seasons. The 
f pods are borne in clusters which accounts 
for the productiveness of this splendid va- 
riety. Each pod is about 5 inches in length 
and contains 4 or 5 very thick, light green, 
oval beans which have a distinctive rich 
nut-like flavor quite unlike any other va- 
riety. Pkt. 10c; % lb. 30c; Ib. 50c; 2 tbs. 90c;

11 Dreer's Wonder 
Bush Lima 
75 days. A most desirable Bush Lima Bean 
because it is early and very productive. The

p o i = Li mG Bea WR S —For Extra-Heavy Crops 
Culture—Pole Limas are even less hardy than the Bush type and should not be planted until 
toward the end of May or when all danger of frost is past. Set the poles about 4 feet apart each 
way and plant 6 to 8 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are up, thin out to 3 
plants to a pole. Pinch off the ends when plants overrun the top of the poles. It is good practice 
to use a shovelful of rich, light, well-rotted compost to each hill: One pound of seed will plant 
75 to 100 hills.
