LIMA BEANS 
CULTURE Limas should be planted only in warm weather 
' as the seed will rot in cold soil. Except in 
favored warm sections we do not recommend planting before 
April or May. Plant 2 inches deep in rows three and one- 
half feet apart and 1*4 to 2*4 feet apart in the rows accord¬ 
ing to variety. One pound of seed will plant a 100 foot row. 
or fifty pounds to the acre. Limas will thrive in any good 
soil.
