Delicious Lima Beans 



(SPABGELBOHNE ) 



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.
