Ford's Mammoth Podded Pole 

 Lima Bean 



This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years' selection by 

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

 around Philadelphia. The pods grow to an average length of 8 inches, 

 are produced in great clusters, with from five 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 the 

 pole, and continue in bearing right up to frost. Ford's Mam- 

 moth Podded is, without exception, the largest podded, finest 

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