Lima Beaus 
Lima or Butter Beans form a most important 
part of the summer diet. The delicious beans are 
to be had from June until frost, and the dry beans 
may be stored for winter. Few garden crops last 
so long as the Lima Bean, and for this reason it is 
well adapted to the small gardens. All Lima Beans 
are sensitive to cold and should not be planted 
until warm weather comes. Plant in rows thirty 
to thirty-six inches apart covering the seed two 
inches deep. Thin to fifteen inches apart in the 
row. Cultivation should be given frequently and 
thoroughly, because grass and weeds make inferior 
beans.
