LIMA BEANS 
Limas are very sensitive to cold and overmoist ground 
and should not be planted until May, when the soil has 
warmed up. Stick the seed edgewise with the eye down 
into the soil, covering 1% to 2 inches deep. See that the 
ground is moist so that the beans will not require any 
watering until the seeds have sprouted, otherwise they 
may rot. Sow the bush varieties in rows 2% feet apart 
and 6 inches in the row. Plant the pole beans 4 feet apart 
in hills and set a pole firmly in each hill. Plant 5 or 6 
beans in a hill. Plant in a rich, mellow soil and cultivate 
frequently. One pound of the bush varieties will plant 50 
feet of row and 1 pound of the pole varieties will plant 
75 hills.
