LIMA BEANS 
DWARF OR BUSH LIMA BEANS 
Fordhook—Plant 1 bushel per acre. 
Henderson—Plant 1 to 2 pecks per acre. 
Culture of Bush Lima Beans. In general, cultural re¬ 
quirements of Bush Lima Beans are similar to those given for 
green and wax podded bush beans (see page 4). Lima beans 
are not as hardy as string beans, and the ground should be 
warm when planting the seed. Fertilizer should be applied 
about ten da vs before planting. If planted on muck, seed 
should be treated with Cuprocide (Red Copper Oxide) at 
rate of four ounces per bushel of beans. (See page 54.) Plant 
in rows three feet apart, dropping a bean every four or five 
inches in the row, covering an inch deep.

IMPROVED FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. (75 days.) The most 
popular and profitable bush Lima bean in Florida for both 
fall and spring planting. The plant is of medium size, hardy, 
fairly disease resistant and very productive. The seeds are 
large, very thick, plump, crowded in the pod and of very 
good quality. The pods of our improved strain of this variety 
are dark green, very large, with a heavy, thick side wall and 
heavy straight back, giving them body and holding up quali¬ 
ties for long distance shipments. Our Improved strain makes 
more attractive, much larger, wider, longer pods, which are 
more uniformly filled with four large seeds than with other 
strains, giving them a larger and plumped appearance. This 
is why lima beans grown from our new improved strain bring 
a premium on the buyer’s platform and on the markets.
