Maulers Pole Lima Beans 



50 Burpee's 

 Giant Podded 



. 51 Burpee's Best 



Culture: Pole Lima Beans prefer a warm, sandy loam soil, enriched with well- 

 rotted stable manure. Do not plant until the ground is warm and moderately- 

 dry and the weather quite settled. Set poles 4 feet each way, and plant 6 to 

 8 seeds around each pole, placing them with the eye downward to encourage 

 quick germination. Cover 2 inches deep. After the seedlings are well started, 

 thin, leaving 2 strong plants to each pole. Cultivate shallow and frequently. 

 Use one packet to 10 poles; one lb. to 50 poles; 30 lbs. an acre. Small plantings 

 may be made along a fence or trellis, planting one lb. to 150 feet of row. 



51 Burpee's Best (New) (95 days) '^ 



An Improved Challenger. Vigorous, Highly Productive 



A remarkable new pole bean almost equal to Fordhook Bush Lima in earliness, yet sur- 

 passing all other pole limas in heavy production. The attractive, lustrous, green pods, 

 5 to 6 inches long and 134 inches wide, are as thick and well-filled as the plump pods of 

 Fordhook Bush Lima to which it is similar in quality and flavor. Burpee's Best is excep- 

 tionally vigorous, growing to a height of 10 to 12 feet with great clusters of pods the entire 

 length of the runners. It is probably the best of the long-distance shipping varieties.

 frost. Pods are usually 3J4 inches long and % inch wide with 3 or 4 beans. The green 

 shell beans are small, flat, and of splendid quality.
