The seeds should not be planted before the ground becomes light and warm, in favorable seasons usually about the first of May. Bush Limas should not be planted so early as other sorts, as Limas are particularly sensitive to cold and damp. The soil should be rich and mellow, and the ieeds scattered about 3 inches apart in drills from 3 to 3^^ inches apart, and cov- ered about 2 inches deep.
