Delicious Lima Beans (SPASGEI.BOENZ:) 



The late Summer and Fall vegetable supreme. 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. Note: In very wet 

 or unusual weather Bush Lima Beans will 

 sometimes send out runners about 2 feet 

 loner.
