SEIBEKT'S EARLY POLE LIMA. This new variety is one of the very earliest. 

 The vine is very vigorous and productive. Pods are large, but thin, and can be more 

 easily opened than tliose of other vsirieties. The green beans are very large, handsome 

 and of the best quality. In eailiness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality 

 of the green beans, this variety is superior, and is now recognized as one of the best 

 for either the garden or market. Pkt., 10c; pint, 25c.; qt., 45o., postpaid; by freight

 invariably having from four to live beans in each. These beans appear in Philadelphia

 bushel of pods, and, previous to the introduction of Seiiiert's Early, were considered

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., 

 lOc; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c., postpaid; by freight or express, pint, 20c.- 

 qt., 40c.; 2 qts., 70c.; peck, $2.00; bush., $7.00.
