SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Pole Lima Beans 



1 quart to 150 hills; 8 to 10 quarts per acre. 



Pole beans do not bear as early as the bush varieties but they are 

 more productive, their bearing season is longer and they are more 

 easily gathered. They succeed best in a warm sandy loam which 

 has been enriched with well rotted manure. If poles are used they 

 should be set three to four feet apart each way. After the ground 

 has become warm and dry, plant 4 to 6 beans to a pole and when 

 well started thin out to 2 or 3 plants to a pole. By placing the 

 seed eyes down they will germinate more quickly and for this 

 reason are less liable to rot. Cultivate frequently but shallow. 



Eoi-liT I atriothon Fully a week earlier than any other pole varie- 

 tany LcVlainail ty. The Early Leviathan stands supreme be- 

 cause of its combined qualities, earliness, size and productiveness. 

 The large, well filled pods arc borne in clusters of five to ten and 

 are spaced over the entire vine. They are well filled with large 

 fleshy beans of excellent quality, delicate pale green in color.

 l/arpinitria garden, producing an abundance of large four-seeded, 

 medium green pods. The color is distinctive in having a decided 

 greenish tint, an indication of very finest quality. The beans are 

 thin skinned, delicious flavor and retain the distinctly green 

 tinge even when dried. Qt., 50c; pk., $2.75; bu., $10.00. 



One of the largest and most valuable of the medium late 

 varieties, producing a tremendous crop of seven-inch pods, 

 which are filled with five to six large beans of excellent quality. 

 Seed large, ovid, flat white with slight greenish tinge. Splendid 

 for market gardeners. Qt., 50c; pk., $3.00; bu., $11.00.

This is the best and most popular main 

 crop variety. Vines are strong and vigorous; 



setting pods early and continuing to bear until frost. Is used 



extensively by market gardeners because of its very prolific nature 



and the immense size of the pods, which are very straight and 



handsome; of medium dark green color, broad, flat and filled 



with four or five large white beans of finest quality. Qt., 50c;

 growth, mid-season. Pods are borne in clusters of 6 to 8 and 

 measure 7 inches long and IV. inches broad. The beans are extra large and of 

 excellent quality. Qt., 50c; pk., $3.00; bu., $11.00.

Dwarf or Bush Lima Beans 



Large seeded sorts, 1 quart to 100 bills; 1 bushel to the acre. 

 Small seeded sorts, 1 quart to 150 hills; 3 pecks to the acre. 



These varieties require no support, are about two weeks earlier than the pole beans, and can be planted closer in 

 the rows. They are therefore used by large growers and by gardeners who do not find it convenient to use poles. 

 After danger of frost is past and the ground has become warm, plant in 3 ft. rows dropping 3 seeds to a hill and 

 the hills 15 inches apart.

A most excellent variety and exceedingly popular with mar- 

 ket gardeners. The plants are freely branching and very 

 erect in their growth. Four or five large, very thick beans are contained in each pod 

 and the plants continue to produce large quantities from July until frost. The green 

 beans even when full size are tender, juicy and sweet when cooked, being a distinct 

 improvement over the rather dry and mealy character of other varieties of this 

 Potato Lima type. Pt., 30c; qt., 50c; pk., $3.00; bu., $11.00.
