POLE LIMAS THE BEST KINDS 



A MONG these we find the same subdivision as with 

 ** the bush type, namely, the very small, the fat or 

 potato Lima, and the large seeded kind. The earliest and 

 most productive is the Sieva Pole Lima, esteemed in the 

 South as " butter bean." Corresponding to the Kummerle 

 or Dreer's Bush Lima we have the Challenger or Potato 

 Pole Lima in this class which is later but very productive 

 and does well even where seasons are wet. 



Easily the most prolific among the large white Limas 

 of the pole type is Henderson s Leviathan. While the 

 pods are small, as compared with later sorts, they are 

 borne in greatest abundance, are well-filled, and the beans 

 are of good size. King of the Garden or Large White 

 Lima is the most widely used in this class to date, but 

 it is sure to be superseded by New Giant-podded Pole 

 Lima, as shown here.
