Dwarf Bush Lima Beans 
For genera] purposes I consider the Henderson's Bush Lima

good ones and are large varieties. Henderson’s is a little smaller, 
is sometimes called Baby Lima.

feet apart, 3 inches deep; beans 2 inches apart in the row. Later 
thin so plants stand 6 to 8 inches apart.

For years I have been recommending stock beets for poultry 
and for live stock feeding. As usual I raised a nice lot ot 
them this year. Store them near the barn, digging a shallow 
trench which is lined with straw and throwing in the beets, 
covering them with straw and then more soil or cornstalks to 
keep out the frost. This way you can keep them as long as 
you want to, and of course you will not put them in the pit 
until just before the freezing weather comes on. 
Sow the seed in rich soil in May or June in rows 20 inches 
to two feet apart and thinning the plants from six to eight 
inches apart in the row and don’t harvest until the last frost. 
Sow 5 or 6 pounds of seed to the acre.

the earliest of all. This is the darkest red
