LIMA OR BUTTER BEANS 
Plenty of "Dry Shell" Beans Saves Grocery Bills 
DWARF BUSH LIMA 
For general purposes I consider the Henderson’s Bush Lima the 
best for the Corn Belt. Burpee’s and Fordhook are both good ones 
and are large varieties. Henderson’s is a little smaller, and some¬ 
times called Baby Lima. 
One pound will plant 40 feet of drill. 
Culture: Sow after danger of frost is over. Sow in rows 2 feet 
apart", 3 inches deep; beans 2 inches apart in the row. Later 
thin, so plants stand 6 to 8 inches apart.
