LIMA BEANS 
Limag are very sensitive to cold and over- 
moist ground and should be planted when the 
soil is warm. Stick the seed edgewise with 
the eye down into the soil, covering 1Y2 to 2 
inches deep. See that the soil is moist so tnat 
the beans will not require any watering until 
the seeds have ‘sprouted, otherwise they may 
rot. Sow the bush varieties in rows 22 feet 
apart and 6 inches in the row. Plant the pole 
beans 3 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 fre- 
quently. One pound of the bush varieties will 
plant 75 hills.
