LIMA BEANS, dwarf or BUSH 
Bush Limas are nearly two weeks earher than Pole Limas. The seed is quite 
tender, and will rot while the ground is cold or wet, so do not plant before the 
ground is warm. For very early results, however, the seed can be started in pots 
in a hotbed or in the greenhouse and the plants set out when the weather is 
settled. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and from 4 to 6 inches apart in the row, always 
edgewise, with the eye down. 
One pound will plant a row 50 feet long

POLE LIMA BEANS 
Where poles can be secured, these Beans are more productive than the Bush 
varieties. Set poles 3 feet apart, enrich the soil in the hills by mixing with it a 
liberal supply of fertilizer or well-rotted manure. Set Beans edgewise with the eye 
down. Tie up the tendrils as often as necessary until they have taken a firm hold 
on the poles. Do not plant until the ground is warm.
