LIMA BEANS—DWARF or BUSH 
Culture. All Lima Beans are tender and the ground 
should be dry and the weather warm and settled before 
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 5 inches apart and covering about 
2 inches deep. Cultivate often until they commence to 
flower, but only when the leaves are dry. 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of 
row. About 60 pounds per acre. For succession, 
make two plantings four weeks apart. Mature in 75 to 
90 days from planting.

MAMMOTH PODDED POLE LIMA BEANS 
Large seeded sorts require 2 pounds to 100 
poles, 34 bushel to an acre. Small Limas require 
about one-third the quantity. 
Culture. These are to be treated like other Pole Beans 
excepting they should be planted 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.
