Wherever pole lima beans are grown, King of the 
Garden is almost certain to be one of the most popu- 
lar varieties. The vines are very sturdy in their 
growth, climbing to a height of from 6 to 10 feet and 
with a considerable spread of branches. The pods are 
from 5 to 7 in. long and contain 5 or 6 large beans 
which are tender and fine flavored. Pods are borne 
close to the ground early in the season and higher up 
50 Burpee’s Giant Podded 
(95 days) The pods are nearly straight, very large, growing 6 
to 7 in. in length, and containing, on the average, 5 extra 
large, tender, buttery beans of the miost delicious flavor. 
Plants are vigorous and produce most freely. The immense 
pods form in clusters of from 4 to 8 and continue to appear 
until the vines are killed by frost. These plants attain a height 
of 10 feet or more. Our stock is now entirely re-selected for the 
very largest pods,

52 Maule’s Evergreen 
(90 days) Maule’s Evergreen is a strong, robust, vigorous 
grower, and very prolific. It is one of the best main-crop pole 
lima beans, producing its enormous pods in great clusters. The 
pods sometimes grow 7 inches in length, with 5 or 6 large 
beans in each. During the green-shell stage the seeds are al- 
ways brilliantly colored and even after maturity they retain 
their greenness, adding greatly to the attractiveness of the 
dried bean. The quality is excellent at all stages.

24 White Marrowfat 
53 King of the Gardens 
The old reliable pole lima with high yield and long bearing season (88 days) 
on the plant as the season progresses. Bearing will 
continue until frost has killed the vines. The con- 
tinued popularity of King of the Garden, in spite of 
the competition offered by newer varieties, is really 
the only recommendation that should be needed. 
Our strain of King of the Garden has been carefully 
selected for uniformity, length of pod, earliness of 
maturity, and hardiness.

Fordhook Bush Lima to which it is similar in quality 
and flavor. Four or 5 and sometimes 6 big, thick, 
plump beans to a pod. Burpee’s Best is exceptionally 
vigorous, growing to a height of 10 to 12 ft., with 
great clusters of pods the entire length of the vines.
