Avoid Trouble With Lima Beans 
Use Spergon 
Do not plant Lima Beans too early. We recommend 
waiting until the weather is really warm and settled. This 
would be about June 1 around Greenwich and vicinity. To 
insure good germination of Limas, treat seed with Spergon, 
the new seed disinfectant. Simply mix Spergon with seed 
at time of planting. This advice may save you from 
making a second planting. Oz. 25 cts.; 5 ozs. $1.00; Ib. $2.25
