Dwarf Lima Beans 
One pound will plant 50 to 100 feet of drill. 
Yield in from 12 to 14 weeks. 
Culture. Sow Lima Beans after danger of frost 
is over and the soil is thoroughly warm. Sow Bush 
sorts in rows 2 feet apart and about 3 inches deep, 
putting the Beans 2 inches apart in the row “eye 
down,” later thinning so that the plants stand 6 to 
8 inches apart. For Pole varieties put six seeds in 
each hill, arranging the hills 3 feet apart each way. 
They require a pole 7 feet high, and when the vines 
have reached the top, pinch them and so increase 
the yield. Some gardeners plant under glass and 
transplant about the time seeds are usually sown. 
Limas always do best on a nice, rich, loamy soil. 
Surplus stock may be ripened on the vines, dried 
ancT kept for winter use.

Challenger or Potato Lima, and earlier.

ARTICHOKES 
Globe Artichokes 
One ounce will produce 500 plants 
The scales and base of the flower-buds are 
eaten, either boiled, or raw as a salad. The 
young stems are sometimes tied together and 
blanched and served in the same manner as 
asparagus. The plants thrive best in deep, 
rich soil where water will not lodge in winter¬ 
time. Sow seeds indoors, and pot up similar 
to tomatoes, setting out in May, in rows 
3 feet apart, leaving 2 to 3 feet between the 
plants. Some flower-buds may be had the 
first year. Cover with ashes and leaves in 
winter. Usually bears the second year from 
seed.

ground until needed. They are excellent 
served boiled, like new potatoes; valuable 
also for feeding stock. Qt. 50 cts., pk. $3.
