The Lima Beans are generally used as dry beans. Burpee 
Bush Lima being the favorite bush variety while Oregon 
Pole Lima the favorite pole type. 
Beans will not stand frost and should not be planted 
until two weeks after the last killing frost. It takes about 
a pound of seed for a row 100 feet and should be planted 
in hills with approximately 3 or 4 seed to the hill. For the 
most tender and delicious beans they should be picked 
when about two-thirds grown. 
For a succession crop plant every ten days or two weeks 
until about the first of August. Seed sown after this time 
will probably be caught by early frost. Bush varieties ma¬ 
ture from 45 to 70 days depending on the heat, pole vari¬ 
eties take 75 to 80 days. 
Cultivate frequently but never do this in the early morn¬ 
ing or just after a rain. All evidence points to the foliage 
of the bean as dangerously likely to spread disease if im¬ 
plements or clothing brush past it while it is wet. Keep 
this in mind also when picking the crop. 
PROTECTION 
Always use Naphthalene Flakes when 
planting Beets, Radishes, Carrots and 
other root crops. 
This will insure your crop against 
damage by soil pests such as Wire 
Worms, Maggots and Cut Worms.

Beets are one of the easiest of vegetables to grow, 
doing well in almost every type of garden soil except 
those too rocky or hard to allow proper root devel¬ 
opment. A rich sandy loam easily worked is ideal.

beets for the ordinary garden are Detroit Dark Red,

Wonder. Early Wonder is one of the quickest from 
seeding to harvest averaging in good soil and favor¬ 
able climate about 42 days. The other varieties take
