Burpee's Improved Bush Lima 
LIMA BEANS—DWARF or BUSH POLE 
These are preferred in small gardens, as they can be grown like Dwarf Beans, and without the use of poles. 
They are not quite so prolific as the Pole Lima, but are earlier and continuous bearers throughout the sea¬ 
son. The beans can be gathered much easier than the Pole Limas and they can be grown closer together. 
Culture, All Lima Beans are tender and the ground 
should be dry and the weather warm and settled be¬ 
fore planting. They do best in good light soil, and if 
not rich, an application of sheep manure or other good 
fertilizer will be well repaid. Plant in drills, 1% to 
2 feet apart, dropping the beans 4 to 6 inches apart 
and covering about 2 inches deep. Cultivate often un¬ 
til they commence to flower, but only when the leaves 
are dry. 
A poTind of seed will plant about 150 feet of 
row. About 60 pounds per acre. For succession, 
make two plantings four weeks apart. Mature in 76 
to 90 days from planting.

POLE LIMA BEANS 
Earg-e seeded sorts require 2 pounds to 100 
poles, % bushel to an acre. Small Elmas re¬ 
quire about one-third the quantity. 
Culture. These are to be treated like other Pole 
Beans excepting they should be plant^ one or two 
weeks later. Where soil is very stiff, it is best to plant 
the beans with the eye downward, as they will come 
up more rapidly.
