BUSH BUTTER OR LIMA BEANS 
Culture—Lima Beans grow best on rich, well drained, porous soil. Do not plant until danger 
of frost is over, the soil warm and moderately dry, and the nights quite warm, as Lima Beans 
are a tender vegetable. In most sections Limas are planted about two weeks after the first plant- 
ing of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 24% 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. 
1 to 114 lbs. will plant 100 feet of row; 45 to 60 lbs. to an acre. For best results inoculate seed 
with nitrogen and mix 4 pounds Vigoro, the complete plant food, per 100 feet of row before 




planting.
