To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The .Fordhook Bush Lima is the best variety for the North, as it matures quickly. In the South many gardeners have a prefer- ence for the pole limas, as they yield somewhat more heavily. Bush limas should be sown from one to two inches deep, depending on the soil, and it is a good plan to plant them with the eye down, as they will come up more quickly and more surely. A pint of seed should sow a hundred feet of row. All bush beans should stand in rows about two feet apart. Four inches is far en...ough for spacing the seeds of all except the limas. The planting depth is the same. Very commonly the man with a little land is advised to plant only bush beans, the argument being advanced that pole beans require too much room. There are two sides to this question, however. It is true that pole beans must have more space in the garden than the bush vari- eties, but at the same time they bear much more abund- antly. It is necessary to make several plantings of the bush beans, but the pole beans will continue yielding well for a long period, and if a second planting is made about two weeks after the first seeds go in, there will be no lack of beans until frost.
