Bush Lima Beans 
One pound will plant about 150 hills, or 150 ft. of tow; 60 pounds per acre. 
A rich, light soil is best. Sow the seed after the ground is dry, danger 
of frost is over, and the nights are warm (about May 20 in the lati¬ 
tude of Canton). Make the rows 3 feet apart, dropping the Beans so 
the plants will stand 4 to 6 inches apart in the row, and cover witn 
less than one inch of soil. The Beans will germinate more rapidly if 
placed on edge with the eye down. Bush Limas may also be planted 
in hills 3 feet apart one way and 2 feet apart the other, using 4 to 6 
beans to the hill. 
FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA, ( 75 days). Yield, quality and appearance 
have made Fordhook Bush Lima a foremost home and market grow¬ 
ers’ variety. Its extra-early maturity assures highest prices wherever 
the Beans are offered for sale. The flavor of Fordhook is outstand¬ 
ingly sweet and delicious. As they are strong and upright in habit, 
they withstand both whipping rains and strong winds to a remark¬ 
able degree. The pods are borne in what may be termed “clusters,” 
composed of from 4 to 8 pods each. The individual pods are 4 to 5
