HOW TO GROW BUSH LIMAS. 
Make the rows 2 feet apart and give 
each plant 12 inches of space. If the soil becomes 
hard or crusted keep it broken up, or your Limas 
will never come up. Do not plant Limas until the 
soil is warm, about May 15 in this latitude. Plant 
Lima Beans carefully, edgewise with the eye down, 





Schell’s Fancy Quality Strain Fordhook Bush Lima

A New Lettuce, Yet Quite Old 
Named after John Bibb, one of the old pioneer families of old 
Kentucky, this delicious Lettuce has been the favorite ‘‘salad” of certain

we grew a large crop last year and we have real pleasure in offering it now 
to you our customers. Bibb Lettuce is a distinct variety with a flavor and 
crispness all its own, something no other Lettuce seems to possess. The heads are small, 
loose in form, outer leaves a deep glossy green, full of vitamins, while the center bleaches to 
a rich yellow, waxy green. You can pick off and use the outer leaves which are tender and 
Bears heavily and.
