POLE LIMA BEANS STANGENBOHNEN 



1 quart to 150 hills. 8 to 10 quarts to the acre. 



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 eas- 

 ily 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. 



(New) Early Leviathan Lima. — This is the very earliest. 

 It will not only give large Lima Beans earlier than any 

 other strain, but is also much more productive, both early 

 and throughout the season. It is a good strong grower, 

 clinging well to the poles, and is a sure setter of pods. 

 The pods differ from those of other early Pole Limas in 

 being straighter and longer. The pods hang out from 

 the foliage in large clusters and contain three to four 

 and frequently five large beans to the pod. Pint 15c; 

 qt. 30c; peck $1.75; bush. $6.50. 



Seibert's Early Lima. — The vine is very vigorous and 

 productive. The pode are large, but thin, and can be 

 more easily opened than those of other varieties. The 

 green beans are large, very handsome and of the best 

 quality. In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and 

 quality of the green beans this variety is superior, and 

 is recognized as one of the best of all for either the gar- 

 den or market. Qt. 25c; pk. $1.50; bush. $5.50. 



Challenger, or Dreer's Pole. — A splendid pole variety, 

 quite early, very prolific, and of very fine quality. The 

 pods are borne in clusters, and the beans are short and 

 thick, almost round, and crowded so closely in the pod 

 that the ends are flattened. A very popular variety with 

 market gardeners. Qt. 25c; peck $1.50; bush. $6.00. 



King of the Garden. — One of the best and most popular 

 main crop varieties. It is medium early and has very 

 long pods, 5% to 6% inches long, which are well filled 

 with four or five good-sized beans. The pods are very 

 straight and handsome, and the fine, hardy vines bear 

 abundantly. Qt. 25c; peck $1.50; bush. $6.00. 



Early Jersey. — Of a strong growth, pods medium size, 

 usually contain 3 to 4 beans each, maturing a good crop 

 quite early. Qt. 25c; peck $1.50; bush. $5.50. 



Ford's Mammoth Podded. — The pods grow to an average 

 length of seven inches and are produced in great clus- 

 ters, with from five to six beans per pod, of most excel- 

 lent quality, for using either green or dry. The vines 

 grow vigorously, setting the beans early at the bottom 

 of the pole, and continue in bearing right up to frost. 

 Qt. 25c; peck $1.50; bush. $6.00.
