How to Grow Bush Lima Beans 
° 
Bush Lima Beans succeed well in almost any good garden 
soil but do best in a rich, well-drained, sandy loam. As seed 
is sensitive to cold and wet ground, it must not be planted 
until the soil has become quite warm and fairly dry. Plant 
the seeds edgewise, eye down, 5 in. apart in rows 2!/5 to 3 
ft. apart, and cover with 2 in. of fine soil. When the plants 
are well started, thin to stand 12 to I5 in. apart for large- 
seeded varieties and 9 to 1|2 in. for small-seeded varieties. 
Give frequent and shallow cultivation until blossoms appear, 
but do not cultivate or handle plants when they are wet. 
A pkt. of large-seeded varieties will sow 15 ft. of row; one 
lb. 100 ft.; the small-seeded kinds will, of course, go much 
farther.
