LIMA BEANS 
Bush and Pole Varieties 
Lima Beans are very susceptible to cold and seeds 
should not be planted until the ground has become 
thoroughly warm. They are gross feeders and the 
ground should be well fertilized for the best results. 
If possible select rich, light soil. Dwarf Limas are 
fully equal to pole Limas in quality and as a rule are 
earlier maturing. Plant dwarf varieties in drills two 
to three feet apart, dropping the beans three to four 
inches apart and covering 1% to 2 inches deep. If 
planted in hills, make the hills 2 to 3 feet apart one 
way and 2 to 2%' feet the other way, planting 4 to 6 
beans in a hill. The culture of pole Limas is the same 
as for other pole beans except that, being more ten¬ 
der, they should be planted one to two weeks later. 
When planting in firm soil it will be found advan¬ 
tageous to place the beans on edge with the eye down, 
as when planted in this manner they germinate and 
come up more readily.

KING OF THE GARDEN POLE LIMA —The most 
popular of all Lima beans, requiring poles or sup¬ 
ports. The pods are very large, 5 to 6 inches long, 
broad, flat, filled with four or five very large white

come into bearing earlier and make larger pods if not 
more than two vines are allowed to grow on each pole.
