Maulers Pole Lima Beans 



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 is quite settled. Set poles 4 ft. each way, and plant 4 to 6 Beans around each pole, 

 placing them with the eye downward to encourage quick germination. Cover 2 in. deep. After the seedlings are well started, thin 

 out leaving 2 strong plants to each pole. Cultiva e shallow and frequently. Use one packet to 10 poles; 1 lb. to 50 poles; 30 lbs. to 

 an acre. Small plantings may be made along a fence or trellis, putting several Beans a foot apart, later thinning to one strong plant. 

 Such plantings would require 1 lb. to about 100 ft. of row. 



53 King of fhe Garden (88 days) >3t 



The Home and Market Gardener's Favorite 



Wherever Pole Lima Beans are known, King of the Garden is almost certain to be one of the most popular 

 and widely grown varieties. The vines are very sturdy in their growth, climbing to a height of from 6 to 10 

 ft. and with a considerable spread of branches. The pods are from 5 to 7 in. in length and contain 5 or 6 large 

 beans which are tender and of delicious flavor. Pods are borne close to the ground early in the season and 

 higher up on the plant as the season progresses. Bearing will continue until frost has killed the vines. The 

 continued popularity of King of the Garden, in spite of the competition offered by newer varieties, is really 

 the only recommendation that should be needed to convince both home and market gardeners that it is a 

 bean everyone should grow and one that can be grown with confidence. Our strain of King of the Garden 

 has been carefully selected for uniformity, length of pod, earliness of maturity and hardiness. This selection, 

 along with care in growing and harvesting, insures a satisfactory crop for our customers.

Pole Baby Lima or "But- 

 ter Bean" of the South 



Grows quickly, matures early, and
