DWARF OR BUSH LIMA AND BUTTER BEANS 
Lima beans are not as hardy as snap beans and should not be planted before the ground is warm and frost is over. 
Plant bush limas in 3-foot rows, dropping three beans 15 inches apart in the row, eyes downward. For the tall varie- 
ties, before the seeds are planted set 6 to 8-foot poles firmly in the center of the hills 3 feet apart in 4-foot rows. 
Cover the beans 144 inches deep; cultivate only when the vines are dry. One pound of the large seeded varieties 
plants 60 hills; 60 pounds to the acre. One pound of the small seeded varieties plants 100 hills; 30 pounds to the acre.
