LIMA BEANS 
Mammoth-Podded Pole 
Culture. These are to be treated like other Pole 
Beans except that they should be planted one or 
two weeks later. Where soil is very stiff, rt is best 
to plant the Beans with the eye downward, to 
help them come up more rapidly. 
A packet will sow 10 poles, a pound 50 poles, 
45 pounds an acre. 
42 CHALLENGER (Fordhook Pole). (92 
days.) A_ large-seeded Potato Lima, 
similar in pod and seed to Fordhook Bush 
Lima. Plant vigorous, good climber, very 
productive. Smooth, straight pods. Seed 
large, almost as wide as long. 
Pkt. 25c; lb. 45c; lb. 80c; 5 Ibs. $3.75. 
LIMA BEANS 
Dwarf or Bush 
Culture. All Lima Beans are tender and the 
ground should be dry and the weather warm and 
settled before they are planted. They do best in 
good light soil; an application of sheep manure or 
other good fertilizer will be well repaid. Plant in 
drills 114 to 2 feet apart, dropping the Beans 4 to 5 
inches apart and covering about 2 inches deep. 
Cultivate often until they commence to flower, 
but only when the leaves are dry. For a succession 
make two plantings four weeks apart.
