BUSH LIMA BEANS 
Culture —Lima Beans grow best on rich, well drained, 
porous soil. Do not plant until danger of frost is over, the 
soil warm and moderately dry, and the nights quite warm, 
as Lima Beans are a tender vegetable. In most sections 
Limas are planted about two weeks after the first planting 
of bush or snap Beans. Plant in drills 2% to 3 feet apart, 
spacing the seed 6 to 8 inches apart, and plant them edge¬ 
wise with the eye downwards. Cover 2 inches deep. Culti¬ 
vate shallow and frequently until the plants blossom. Pick 
the pods as soon as the Beans are of edible size. % lb-
