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 
fully equalin 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 ina hill. Hoe often but only when the leaves are dry.

small, yellowish-white, borne in clusters and often above the foliage. The pods are 
medium dark green, short, about two and three-fourths inches, flat and contain two
