Pole £ima Qeans-stan^&hnm. 



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

 The pole varieties 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. The varieties we offer are all of excellent quality, are highly desirable to plant to produce dry shell beans for 

 winter use. When planted in the garden, poles should beset 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 Leviatliau 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, cling- 

 ing 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. 



Seibert's Early Lima. — The earliest true Pole Lima Bean. The vine is very vigorous and productive. The pods 

 are large, but thin, and can be more easily opened than those of other varieties. The green beans are large, very hand- 

 some and of the best quality. In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the green beans this variety is 

 superior, and must come to be recognized as one of the best of all for either the garden or market. Qt., 25c; peck, $1.25; 

 bush., $5.00. 



Extra Early Jersey.— Of a strong growth, maturing a good crop, quite early, pods medium size, usually contain 

 three beans each. Qt., 25c; peck, $1.25; bush., $5.00. 



Kinjf of the Garden.— A vigorous grower, bearing profusely large pods, varying in length from five to six inches, 

 beans large and of rich flavor. Qt., 25c; peck, $1.50; bush., $5.00. 



Ford's iVTammoth Poddeit. — This grand Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years' selection by James Ford, 

 one of the oldest market gardeners of Pennsylvania. The pods grow to an average length of seven inches, and are pro- 

 duced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per pod, of most excellent 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. 

 Ford's Mammoth Podded is without exception the largest podded, finest flavored and most productive of all Lima Beans. 

 Qt., 25c ; peck, $1.25; bush., $5.00. 



Large Wbite. — Considered by many the most delicious of the Bean family, a general favorite for home use or 

 market. Qt., 25c; peck, $1.25; bush., $5.00. 



Dreer's Improved. -^The distinctive features of this are early maturity, large yield and extra quality. The bean 

 itself is thick and round, rather than oval-shaped, as most of the other Limas are. Qt., 25c; peck, $1.25; bush., $5 00.
