CuLTURE OF BusH Lima Beans. In general, cultural require- 
ments of Bush Lima Beans are similar to those given for green 
and wax podded bush beans, but they need more room (see page 
6). Lima beans are not as hardy as string beans, and the ground 
should be warm when planting the seed. Fertilizer should be 
applied at least ten days before planting. In order to control 
soil diseases and get a better stand, it is always desirable to 
treat lima bean seed with Spergon before planting (see pages 
49 and 52.) Plant in rows three feet apart, dropping a bean 
every two or two and one-half inches in the row, covering an 
inch deep. Thin to stand 4 or 5 inches in the row.

FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA (Potato Lima). (75 days.) 
The most popular and profitable Bush Lima bean in Florida 
for both fall and spring planting. The plant is of medium size, 
hardy, fairly disease resistant and very productive. The seeds 
are large, very thick, plump, crowed in the pod and of very 
good quality. The pods of our improved strain of this variety 
are dark green, very large, with a heavy, thick side wall and 
heavy straight back, giving them body and holding up qualities 
for long distance shipments. Our Improved strain makes more 
attractive, much larger, wider, longer pods, which are more 
uniformly filled with four large seeds than with other strains, 
giving them a larger and plumper appearance. This is why 
lima beans grown from our improved strains bring a premium 
on the buyer’s platform and on the markets.
