Lima Beans, in common with 
all other varieties of beans are 
sensitive to cold and should not 
be planted until all danger of 
frost is past. Require a rich, 
light, preferably sandy soil 
which helps to mature the “Li¬ 
mas” quickly. Select a rich soil 
or use old well-rotted manure; 
Plant in hills 2*4 to 3 *4 ft. 
apart each way and 4 to 6 seeds 
in a hill, or in rows 2 to 3 ft. 
apart. 4 to 6 inches between the 
plants in the row and 2 inches 
deep. Draw the soil up along 
the plants, but do not work 
among the beans when wet as 
this induces rust.
