BUSH BUTTER OR LIMA BEANS 
Culture—Lima beans grow best in rich, well drained, porous soil. Do not plant until danger 
of frost is over, the soil warm and moderately dry, and the nights quite warm, as lima beans 
are a tender vegetable. In most sections limas are planted about two weeks after the first 
planting of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 2 to 3 feet apart, spacing the seed 6 to 12 
inches apart, and plant them edgewise with the eye downward. Cover 1 inch deep. Cultivate 
shallow and frequently until the plants blossom. Pick the pods as soon as the beans are of 
edible size. 1 to 1% lbs. will plant 100 feet of row; 45 to 60 lbs. to an acre. For best results 
inoculate seed with Nitragin and mix 4 pounds Vigoro Fertilizer per 100 feet of row before 
planting. 3
