Fordhook Bush Lima Beans 
ENGLISH BROAD BEANS 
English Broad Windsor. The Broad Bean is grown entirely as a crop for 
shelling. Somewhat larger than Limas, delicious when cooked. English 
Broad Beans are very hardy, and the seeds should be sown at the same 
time as peas. Plant in double rows, 9 inches apart and 3 feet between 
the double rows; 2 inches is the proper depth. Pinch out the tops when 
in bloom. 341b. 30 cts., lb. 55 cts., 2 lbs. $1. 
Broad or Fava, Long-Podded. A hardy variety to be planted in very 
early spring. Produces large pods with very broad flat Beans. 341b. 30 cts., 
lb. 55 cts., 2 lbs. $1. 
LIMA BEANS, Dwarf or Bush 
Bush Limas are nearly 2 weeks earlier than Pole Limas. The seed is 
quite tender, and will rot while the ground is cold or wet, so do not plant 
before the ground is warm. For very early results, however, the seed can 
be started in pots in a hotbed or in the greenhouse and the plants set out 
when the weather is settled. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and from 4 to 6 
inches apart in the row, always edgewise, with the eye down. 
One pound will plant a row 50 feet long

POLE LIMA BEANS 
Where poles can be secured, these Beans are more productive than the 
Bush varieties. Set poles 3 feet apart, enrich the soil in the hills by mixing 
with it a liberal supply of fertilizer or well-rotted manure. Set Beans edge¬ 
wise with the eye down. Tie up the tendrils as often as necessary until 
they have taken a firm hold on the poles. Do not plant until the ground 
is warm. One pound will plant 50 poles
