Culture—Lima Beans grow best on rich, well drained, porous soil. Do not plant until danger

ing of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 22 to 3 feet apart, spacing the seed 6 to 12 inches 
apart, and plant them edgewise with the eye downwards. Cover 1 inch deep. Cultivate shallow 
and frequently until the plants blossom, Pick the pods as soon as the beans are of edible size.

with NITRAGIN.
