AMERICAN DWARF OR BUSH LIMA • The Cultivation 
of Bush Lima Beans . — Select soil that is warm, rich, and well 
supplied with vegetable matter or humus. Plant as early as soil 
can be worked in the spring. Prepare the rows 2 ft. apart, and 
allow each plant a space of 6 in. in the row. As these beans are 
very slothful in growth, a top-dressing of well-rotted manure 
or some good fertilizer or compost around the plants will aid 
greatly in hastening maturity, besides increasing the yield. 
No. 
161 Drecr’s Bush Lima.— A dwarf form of Dreer's Pole Lima 
Bean, and it possesses every good feature of that well-known 
variety. They grow close together in the pods, producing 4 to 5 
sweet, succulent beans to the pod.

strong, upright growth, protecting the pods from contact with

POLE BEANS • — The Cultivation of Pole Beans . — Pole Beans, 
especially Lima Beans, show better results from a warm and very 
rich loamy soil. The seed should be planted when the soil has 
become thoroughly warmed through in the spring. Should the 
ground be cold or soggy, the seed will rot Poles should be set 
in rows 4 ft. apart and 34 to 4 ft. between the poles. Plant 4 to 6 
beans around each pole, and as the plants make a showing thin 
out to 3 plants to the pole. Cultivate freely, and if possible top- 
dress around each hill with a quantity of well-rotted manure 
compost or some good fertilizer. When hoeing, work this well 
into the soil. Climbing varieties of French Beans may be sown 
under glass whenever desired, in pots large enough to allow 
staking. Be cautious in sowing the French varieties out of 
doors until quite sure that the warm season is well established. 
1 quart of pole Beans will plant 200 hills. 1 quart of pole Lima 
Beans will plant 100 hills.
