Font's maDnnotHPomied Pole Lima Bean 



This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years' selec- 

 tion by the late Jas. Ford, who was one of the oldest market 

 gardeners around Philadelphia. The pods grow to an average 

 length of eight inches, are pioduced in great clusters, with 

 from Ave to seven beans per pod, of most excellent quality 

 for using either green or dry. The vines grow vigorously, 

 setting the beans early at the bottom of tlie pole, and con- 

 tinue in bearing right up to frost. Ford's Mammoth Pod- 

 ded is, without exception, the largest podded, finest 

 flavored and most productive of all Lima Beans. Pkt.,

 iV^SEIBEKT'S EAKL.T LIMA. This new variety is one 

 Kf the very earliest. The vine is very vigorous and produc- 

 tive. Pods are large, but thin, and can be moreeasily opened 

 than those of other varieties. The green beans are very 

 large, handsome and of the best quality. In earliness, ease 

 of slielling, size, beauty and quality of the green beans, this 

 variety is superior, and is now recognized ns one of the best 

 for either the garden or market. Pkt. , lOe. ; pint, 25c.; qt.,

J/'sa .4.LLCBOSS MARKET QUEEN LIMA. This new 

 Pole Lima Bean was developed after many years' careful 

 selection by Mr. Frank Shallcross, a noted Philadelphia mar- 

 ket gardener and lima bean grower, from whom we first ob- 

 tained seed. While not the earliest, it is, without question, 

 one of the most prolific, bearing its handsome pods in im- 

 mense clusters and filled with large, flat green beans. Pkt., 

 10c. ; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c., postage paid ; by express or freight,

 laflge and numerous, invariably having from four to five 

 be, ins in each. These beans appear in Philadelphia markets 

 nearly two weeks ahead of ordinary Limas, selling at from 

 83.00 to 84.03 per bushel of pods, and, previous to the intro- 

 duction of Seibert's Early, were considered the earliest.
