Pole Lima Beans. -rffa«g«-#*»«i. 



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 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 thebase 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. 



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 handsome 

 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, $1.50; bush., 

 $5.50

 large and of rich flavor. Qt., 25c; peck, $1.50; bush., $5.50. 



Ford's Mammoth Podded. — This grand Lima Bean is the result of over twenty 3 T ears' selection by James Ford, one of 

 the oldest market gardners of Pennsylvania. The pods grow to an average length of seven inches and are produced in 

 great clusters, with from five to seven beans per pod, of most excellent qualhy, 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, $1.50; bush., $5.50. 



Large White. — 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, SI. 50; bush., S5.50.
