Lima Beans (Butter Beans) 
Culture: Planting and care of Limas same as other Bush Beans, except 4 inches apart 
in row and for best yield a warm, sandy loam is desirable. 
Henderson's Bush. 70 days. The earliest variety. Ten days earlier than Burpee’s Bush 
Lima. Sometimes called Baby Lima. Used largely by canners. Plant small, dark green, 
erect, bushy; pods flat, containing 3 to 4 flat, light green beans or seed, of excellent 
flavor when ripe and dry. Best yields obtained on warm sandy loam. Dry beans creamy 
white. 
Burpee's Improved Bush. 77 days. Similar to Burpee’s Bush Lima, but slightly earlier and 
longer podded. Ulant large, erect, vigorous, very productive; pods contain 4 to 5 seeds. 
Dry beans large, plump, flat, surface somewhat wrinkled, color white with greenish tinge. 
McCrea's Bush Lima. Something new and different in Bush Lima Beans. Pods are small, 
like Baby Limas, but seed is large potato type, with 3 to 5 in a pod. Will stand cold in 
spring and heat in summer better than other Lima varieties. 
Fordhook Bush. 77 days. Plant large, upright, vigorous, highly productive. Pods con¬ 
tain 3 to 4 seeds. Green shell beans, large, thick, oval, of excellent quality. Dry beans 
white with tinge of green. 
Aztec (Colorado Cream Butter). Easier to grow than other Limas. Especially adapted to 
our western country. Has been grown by the Aztec Indians for at least two centuries. 
The seed is not flat like most Lima Beans but l’ound and about the shape of our small 
Navy Beans, but is 4 to 5 times larger. Can be used either as a green shell bean or dried.
