Burpee’s Bush Lima. 75 days. Immensely 
popular. The plants come true from seed,

18 to 20 inches high and 2 to 3 feet across. 
©Fordhook Bush Lima. 75 days. This Bush 
Lima is of uniformly erect bush habit, 
branching freely, but with all the branches 
held upright. It bears tremendous crops 
and sets plump, well-filled pods freely, even 
in a cool, wet season. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima. 65 days. Two 
weeks earlier than the Pole Limas, and the 
bushes bear long and continuously. Beans 
of the small Sieva type. 
Pole or Running Beans 
Pole Beans are not so hardy as the Bush sorts, 
and should be planted several weeks later, when 
danger from frost is over. Plant the seeds in 
slightly raised hills, 3 to 4 feet apart, four or five 
seeds to the hill. The Limas are especially 
tender, and the rule for late outside planting 
with them is rigid. Painstaking cultivators, 
usually the most successful, plant them eye 
downward, setting stout poles for every hill. 
One pound of seed will sow 100 hills; 
30 pounds, an acre
