Dreer's Reliable VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Pole Lima Beans 



-For Extra-Heavy Crops 



Culture — Pole Limas are even less hardy than the Bush type and should not be planted until toward 

 the end of May or when all danger of frost is passed. Set the poles about 4 feet apart each way and 

 plant 6 to 8 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are up, thin out to 3 plants to a pole. 

 Pinch ofi the ends when plants overrun the top of the poles. It is good practice to use a shovelful of 

 rich, light, well-rotted compost to each hill. One pound of seed will plant 75 to 100 hills.

Pole or Running Beans 



Dreer's Improved 

 Pole Lima Bean 



Very Productive Types 



Culture —Pole Beans are vigorous growers and will produce 

 a heavy crop of beans if grown on fertile ground which has 

 been enriched with well-rotted manure or a complete fertilizer. 

 As they are less hardy than the bush varieties start sowing 

 about a week later. Set the poles 4 feet apart and place 

 8 to 10 beans around each. Or they may be grown on a trellis. 

 One pound of seed is sufficient to plant 100 poles or hills. 



Green-Pod Varieties 



128 Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead. This splendid bean combines size and 

 quality in an extraordinary degree. The pods generally are borne in clusters of 2 to 4, 

 each pod measuring 7 to 8 inches long. They are deeply saddle-backed, very fleshy, and 

 are best picked before they reach full size. Where poles are not available, wire or heavy 

 string supports should be provided since the vines are rank growers, bearing exceptionally 

 heavy crops. Pkt. 10c; | lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c; 5 lbs. $1.55, prepaid.
