Delicious Lima Beans 



The late Summer and Fall vegetable su- 

 preme. Their food value is twice that of 

 milk and their savoriness second to none. 

 A light soil suits them best, and the seed 

 should not be planted until the weather is 

 warm and dry. The bush varieties bear 

 earlier and require less space, while the 

 pole varieties produce larger crops. Spray 

 with Bordeaux Mixture as a preventative 

 for mildew. 



Bush Lima Beans 



More hardy than the pole varieties and 

 therefore may be planted earlier. Make 

 rows 2 feet apart and plant the Beans, eyes 

 down, every 2 to 3 inches. Cover about 2 

 inches deep. Thin to 6 inches. 



One quart of Lima Beans will sow 

 100 feet of row. 

 If wanted by parcel post, add 8c per pt.; 

 10c per qt.

FARMOGERM 



Farmogerm is a nitrogen fixing bacteria 

 for inoculating all legumes (Beans, Peas, 

 Clover, etc.). Its use promotes the growth 

 of nitrogen nodules on the roots, which ex- 

 tract nitrogen from the air to the benefit 

 of both present and future crops. Treat 

 your Beans with Farmogerm for bigger 

 and better crops. See page 71.
