LIMA BEANS 
i| j| |pr Limas should be planted only in warm weather 
v^vjli Ul\c. as the seed will rot in cold soil. Except in 
favored warm sections we do not recommend planting before 
April or May. Plant 2 inches deep in rows three and one- 
half feet apart and 1 y 2 to 2 y 2 feet apart in the rows accord¬ 
ing to variety. One pound of seed will plant a 100 foot row, 
or fifty pounds to the acre. Limas will thrive in any good 
soil.
