Seeds of Purity and High Germination b 2 i pe S$ ry, nices : 
BUSH LIMA 
The Bush Lima is more easily grown than the tall, and is earlier and more economical of space but 
the Pole Limas yield better. Lima Beans require even more heat than other Beans. They should not 
be planted until the ground is thoroughly warmed. Bush Limas should be sown on good garden soil 
in 21% to 3 feet rows, 3 to 6 inches apart, eye down, cover 1 inch. 1 lb. will plant 75 feet, 1 bu. 
to the acre (60 lbs.) Do not brush against Bean foliage when wet. 



FORDHOOK BUSH. 7, days. Outstanding Bush Lima for home or market, pro- 
ducing a very heavy crop with large, fat pods in clusters of from 5 to 8, and con- 
tains 3 to 5 thick, meaty, plump beans of excellent flavor. The sturdy, vigorous 
plants grow 24 to 30 in. high, spread out nearly 2 ft. and stand up well against 
wind and rain. They begin to bear early and continue to produce for a long time. 
Because of its earliness, the large size of the Bean, and long bearing season this 
strain is most popular and it is especially appreciated in sections where the Sum- 
mers are comparatively short. Fordhook always outsells other Bush Limas.
