HOW TO GROW BUSH LIMAS. Make the rows 2 feet apart and give each plant 12 
inches of space. If the soil becomes hard or crusted, keep it broken up, or your Limas will 
never come up. Do not plant Limas until the soil is warm, about May 15 in this latitude. 
Plant Lima Beans carefully, edgewise with the eye down, one every 5 inches, then thin 
plants out when well started to stand 12 inches apart. Two pounds will plant 150 feet of row; 
60 poimds to the acre. 
SCHELL’S STRAIN FORDHOOK. My Fordhook Limas are pure-bred, quality seed. 
The Beans are very thick, meaty, and of delicious flavor. They are ready for use a week 
earlier than other Bush Limas and bear very heavily. The plants stand very erect, never 
prostrate or running, and are filled with many clusters of pods. Bred up to increased 
yield, richer flavor, and attractive green color. Quality counts more than price on 
any market. If you have not tried our superior strain of Fordhook Limas, do so by all 
means this year. Pkt. 10 cts.; '^Ih. 25 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; 2 lbs. 7.5 cts.; 5 lbs. .*1.30:
