SCHELL’S BUSH LIMA BEANS 
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. Planting too early, 
when soil is cold, often results in the seed rotting and makes replanting necessary. Plant 
Lima Beans carefully, edgewise with the eye down, cover 1 inch if soil is moist, or 114 inches 
if soil is dry, one every 5 inches, then thin plants out when well started to stand 12 inches apart. 
Keep out of them when the plants are wet. Excellent green, dried, and canned. Two pounds 
will plant 150 feet of row; 60 pounds to the acre.
