Lima Beans 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
Culture —Lima Beans require warm and rich loamy soil, the 
germ is very delicate, and they should not be planted before 
the weather is warm. Set 8 to 10-foot poles Y/i to 4 feet 
apart each way. Plant 4 to 6 beans around each pole, placing 
them with eyes down and cover with 2 inches of soil. When 
well started, thin to three plants to a pole. One pound will 
plant 100 hills. 
Buist’s Mammoth Podded Ideal Lima —The most valuable 
Lima Bean yet introduced; vines vigorous and productive, 
bearing large clusters of broad pods, 6 to 8 in a bunch, the 
pods being 6 to 8 inches long, containing five to seven beans 
of gigantic size. The vines are remarkably productive, the 
pods at the bottom of the plant maturing early in the season, 
those at the top coming in before frost; the beans are easily 
shelled and of handsome appearance. The gigantic size makes
