Burpee's Besl Pole Lima 



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 6 to 8 Beans around each pole, placing them 

 with the eye downward to encourage quick germination. Cover 2 in. deep. After the seed- 

 lings are well started, thin out leaving 2 strong plants to each pole. Cultivate 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 .SO ft. of row. 



51 Burpee's Best (New) (95 days) '9^ 



An Improved "Challenger." Vigorous, Highly Productive 



Remarkable new Pole Lima Bean almost equal to Fordhook Bush Lima in earliness, yet 

 ."surpassing all other pole limas in production. The attractive, lustrous green pods, .S to 6 

 in. long and 1}^ in. wide, are as thick and well-filled as the plump pods of Fordhook Bush 

 Lima to which it is similar in quality and flavor. 4 or 5 and sometimes 6 big, th^ck, 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. An excellent home garden 

 Bean and is probably the best of the long distance shipping varieties.
