DWARF LIMAS 



The dwarf lima class cannot be recommended too highly. The beans can be grown and gathered much more easily than 

 the pole limas as the vines require no support. They can also be grown closer together than those of any pole variety. Dwarf 

 limas are f qljy equal in quality to pole limas and as a rule are earlier maturing. 



Limas require a longer season for maturing than other garden beans. Do not plant till the ground is dry, weather warm 

 and danger of frost is over. If possible select rich, light soil. Plant in drills two to three feet apart, dropping the beans three 

 to four inches apart and covering one and one-half to two inches deep. If planted in hills, make the hills two to three feet 

 apart one way and two to two and one-half feet the other and plant four to six beans in a hill. Hoe often but only when the 

 leaves are dry . >
