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. 



Ill Dreer's Wonder 

 Bush Lima 



A most desirable Bush Lima Bean because it is 

 extremely 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.

 fact that it has a remarkably sweet flavor. Pro-

107 Fordhook Bush Lima 



This splendid variety is well known wherever 

 Lima Beans are grown as it combines produc- 

 tiveness 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 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.
