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 23 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. 
111 Dreer’s Wonder 
Bush Lima 
75 days. A most desirable Bush Lima Bean 
because it is early and very productive. The plants 
are of strong upright growth, heavily laden with 
large pods many of which contain 4 beans each. 
Many gardeners pronounce the broad, flat beans 
superior in flavor to those of the round, thick- 
seeded varieties. We highly recommend it and 
suggest that you give it a thorough trial this year.

75 days. This variety is well known wherever 
Lima Beans are grown as it combines produc-

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 pods are borne in clusters 
which accounts for the productiveness of this 
splendid variety. 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 variety.
