BUSH LIMA BEANS 
Large seeded varieties: pkt. will sow 10 ft. row 
Small seeded varieties: pkt. will sow 20 ft. row 

For the past three years we have plowed under a part of our 
fertilizer. This places fertilizer in the bottom of the furrow where 
there is moisture to keep the plants growing. We think it pays.

Some people seem to be able to grow bush limas 
successfully; others do not. No one seems to know 
exactly why. Those who grow pole limas seem to get 
larger yields. 
Plant in mellow soil after danger of frost, 1 inch deep, 
2 inches apart in 3 to 3% foot rows. If possible plant 
after a rain rather than before. 
Limas, especially the large seeded varieties require a 
lot of moisture to sprout them. In planting, many 
gardeners place each bean with the eye down. Indoing 
this they shove the seed into the moist soil. We believe 
a firm contact with moist soil is more important than 
the position of the bean.

POLE BEANS 
A woven wire fence makes an ideal support for pole 
beans, or you can use poles. Another way is to set 
posts at each end of the row and run a wire 4 to 95 ft. 
above the row and another near the ground. Stout 
string run up and down between the wires will act as 
a support for the beans.
