POLE LIMA BEANS 
Y POLE LIMA BEANS are grown in hills three feet apart in rows four feel apart, but being very tender, the 
EV | AT H AN seeds should not be planted until the ground has warmed up, about two weeks later than other beans, or in the 
= latter part of May around New York. 
85 LEVIATHAN (Henderson’s) The Earliest Pole Lima Bean Grown 
Many growers prefer the pole varieties of Limas. These are later than the bush sorts, and in some 
localities there is difficulty in maturingthe crop. In Northern States, or where by reason of continued 
cool nights the growth is less rapid, Leviathan will be found admirably adapted. 
The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any other sort. It is fully a week 
earlier than any other pole variety, therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be 
caught by frosts of early autumn. It is a prodigious cropper, producing its pods in large clusters, ~ 
well filled with large, fleshy Beans, pale green in color, of a rich, buttery flavor.

90 IDEAL (Henderson’s) Of Gigantic Size. Tenderness and Flavor Superb 
The vine does not differ materially from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies 
in the size of the pods, which hang in wonderful profusion on the vines. The average yield is greater 
than in any other variety. : 
Though a little later than our early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties 
and continues to produce enormous crops until frost.

POLE BEANS 
CULTURE OF POLE BEANS.—These are planted about the middle of May, in hills from three to four 
feet apart. From five to six seeds are planted in each hill, about two inches deep. Rough cedar, or similar 
poles seven to eight feet long should be used for Pole Beans to climb on. 2 lbs. to 150 hills. 30 lbs. to the acre 
in hills. 
93 GIANT WAX 
Truly a Giant. Bears Pods 8 to 10 in. Long 
Since its introduction in 1932, Giant Wax has won many admirers. It is a show bean par excellence, 
as it develops beautiful, unblemished, flat pods 8 to 10 inches long and clear amber yellow in color. 
The plant is vigorous, tall and very resistant to disease. The giant pods are produced in abundance 
over a long period. Notwithstanding its large size, the bean is of fine texture, free from string in 
the young stages, very brittle and tender. As an exhibition bean it excels all others.

96 OLD HOMESTEAD or Kentucky Wonder 
This most popular, green-podded snap Pole Bean is a marvel of continued productiveness and is 
ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First pickings may be made in the 
latitude of New York early in July, and the vine will continue to produce in abundance until frost. 
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be gathered by 
the handful; they are very large, 6 to 8 inches in length, stringless, plump, meltingly tender and of 
superb flavor.
