BUSH LIMA BEANS 
Phaseolus lunatus 
Days 
Lima beans are similar to other beans in preferring a warm climatic environment. The 
best performance will be obtained if they are seeded in warm moist soil with at least a 
moderate amount of soil fertility. They have the ability to withstand longer dry periods 
without rain than do bush snap beans. Also they have the advantage of recovering more 
quickly and producing again after experiencing adverse dry weather conditions. 
ALLGREEN CF BOLUM 
Our new productive green seeded bush lima with both green cotyledons and 
green seed coat. Plant growth is similar to the widely adapted Henderson, 
but beans retain fresh green color long after Henderson has turned white. 
Splendid quality for canning or quick freezing in the green shelled stage. 
VINE —15 inches tall, vigorous, bushy, compact, uniform and productive. 
PODS—3 to 3% inches long, dark green, broad flat, slightly curved, 3 to 4 
seeds per pod. 
SEED —Small, flat, green cotyledon, green tinted seed coat, excellent flavor, 
1,100 per pound. 
XBY HMCE BUMPS 
New baby lima bean developed by Dr. H. B. Cordner from a cross between 
Fordhook and Henderson, and released by the Oklahoma Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station. In a class with Henderson’s, but the seeds are plumper. Par- 
ticularly well adapted to the South and Southwest because of its drought 
resistance and nematode tolerance; has also performed well in the North. 
VINE —Vigorous, upright with main stem one node longer than that of Hen- 
derson, and having numerous lateral branches. 
PODS—Borne throughout plant, size similar to Henderson, 3 to 3% inches 
long, dark green, slightly curved, 3 to 4 seeds per pod. 
SEED—Green at market stage, entirely white when mature. Small, medium 
plump, averaging 970 per pound.
