LIMA BEANS 
Lima beans are delicious when used green shelled, and can be grown for this purpose in any climate 
The dry ripened bean is also a staple article of food for winter use, but in California these beans ripen 
only from San Luis Obispo County and south to Pasadena. The best territory for seed beans we believe 
to be Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, where we grow our stock. Sow bush sorts in 24-inch rows 
and pole varieties in hills 4 feet each way. Sow late after ground is well warmed in spring.
