POLE Limfi BEARS 
POLE LIMA BEANS are grown tn hills three feet 
apart, in rows four m feet apart, but being very tender, the 
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 maturing the crop. I n 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. 
Price, pkt., 15c; Yi lb-. 30c; lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25. 
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 BEADS 
CULTURE OF POLE BE A NS 
— These are planted about the 
middle of May, in hills from 
three to four feet apart. From Jive to six seeds are planted in each 
hill, about two inches deep. Rough cedar, or similar poles seven or 
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 (See Color Plate, Page 6) 
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, unblem- 
ished, 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. Not- 
withstanding its large size, the bean is of fine texture, free from 
string in the young stages, very brittle and tender. As an exhi- 
bition bean it excels all others. 
Price, pkt., 25c; Yi lb., 40c; lb., 75c.

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. 
Price, pkt., 10c; Yi lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00.
