SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 



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 bear- 

 ing 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. Culti- 

 vate frequently but shallow.

 oUIlIiy DlOOK cause of its extreme earliness and abundance of medium sized, well 

 filled pods of deep green color, having four and often five large thick, meaty, light green beans 

 of the finest quality. The vines are of most vigorous growth and produce pods which are 

 ready for picking earlier than any other large seeded pole lima. Qt. 60c; Pk., $3.25; bu., $12.00

BUSH LIMA BEANS

to the acre. 

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

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 gard- 

 eners 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.
