LIMA BEANS 
A pound will plant about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. Sow about 60 Ibs. per acre. 


Lima beans seem to bear better on heavier soil than on light sand and the land 
should not be too rich. Do not plant until the soil is fairly warm. Bush Limas are 
earlier and somewhat more easily raised than the pole varieties but do not yield 
as much in the same space. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and drop two or three seeds 
in a place 8 to 12 inches apart. When well started, thin to one plant to a place. 
Warning In order to get the best yields give the plants plenty of room in the row.

Winner. This new 
heavy-yielding strain is a real improvement over the famous |] 
Fordhook Bush Lima. Years of careful breeding by the U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md. have produced a strain | 
that will consistently out yield Fordhook under average con- 
“ditions and will produce much better crops in hot dry weather. 
The plants are somewhat larger and more vigorous, and 
they produce a better set of pods on the early pickings. The 
pods are uniform, nearly straight, and well filled with three 
or four plump thick beans of the finest type. The dry seeds 
average slightly smaller and the pods are a trifle narrower but 
otherwise they are identical to the best Fordhook. In addition 
they hold their fine uniform size and shape throughout the 
entire season.
