Ford Hook New Early Giant Bush 
Lima Bean. This new Bean represents 
the highest achievement 
in bean breeding. The plants are of 
stifly erect habit, twenty inches in 
height, branching freely, but with all 
the branches held upright. This perfeet 
bush growth is strikingly in contrast to 
the low spreading growth of some other 
varieties of bush limas. The leaves are 
identical with that of the Burpee’s bush 
lima, while the pods and beans are of 
the Kummerle or Dreers bush lima type, 
but twice in size. They bear from July 
until frost almost unbelievable quanti- 
ties of five to six inch pods, each con- 
taining usually four large, thick beans 
of the very best quality. Pt. 20c; qt.

Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima. This 
produces a magnificent crop of pods, 
which measure from five to six inches 
long by 1% inches wide; as com- 
pared with Burpee’s Bush Lima, both 
pods and beans are much larger, while 
the beans, either green or dry, are near- 
ly twice as thick. The sturdy bushes 
are loaded with pods that are truly 
enormous in size. The luscious green 
beans are larger than any lima ever 
known before. Qt. 30c.; pk. $2.00; bus.

POLE BEANS—Stangen-Bohnen 
1 quart to 150 hills. 
The pole variety of Beans are of strong running growth 
and need stout poles or other support on which to climb. 
They require a longer season to mature pods than the 
bush varieties, but by reason of their stronger growth 
are more productive, and growing on poles are more 
easily gathered. When planted in the garden, poles should 
be set three to four feet apart each way. A shovelful of 
rich compost or well-rotted manure should be placed in 
the soil at the base of the pole before planting the seed.
