DWARF LIMAS 
The dwarf lima class cannot be recommended too highly. The beans can 
be grown and gathered much more easily than the pole limas as the vines 
require no support. They can also be grown closer together than those of 
any pole variety. Dwarf limas are fully equal in quality to pole limas and 
as a rule are earlier maturing. 
Limas require a longer season for maturing than other garden beans. 
Do not plant till the ground is dry, weather warm and danger of frost is 
over. If possible select rich, light soil. Plant in drills two to three feet 
apart, dropping the beans three to four inches apart and covering one and 
one-half to two inches deep. If planted in hills, make the hills two to 
three feet apart one way and t wo to two and one-half feet the other and 
plant four to six beans in a hill. Hoe often but only when the leaves are dry.
