Stokes ' Standard Seeds^ /£^ Qarden and Farm 



BUSH LIMA BEANS 



One quart of Lima Beans will plant about 100 hills, allowing 4 or 5 Beans to a hill; 20 quarts will plant an acre in hills 4 by 4 feet. 



35 Ford hook 



The demand for this Bean is so large that the quality has become 

 somewhat inferior. We have gone to considerable expense, therefore, 

 not only to obtain higher-quality seed, but all of our Bush Lima seed 

 will be carefully selected after it reaches our seed house at Moores- 

 town. This work, therefore, will insure against any inferior seed being 

 sent out. The plant of the Fordhook Lima Bean is very vigorous and 

 of erect growth, holding the pods well above the ground. The pods 

 are produced in large clusters, usually medium green in color, 4}^ to 

 5 inches long, each pod containing three to five large Beans of excep- 

 tionally fine quality. The Beans are oval in shape, very thick, white 



with greenish tinge. This we consider the best large Dwarf Lima, 

 and it has the largest sale of any variety. Pt. 30 cts. (by mail 38 cts.), 

 qt. 50 cts. (by mail 65 cts.), y 2 pk. $1.75, pk. $3.50., bus. $14. 



37 Burpee's Improved 



This is of the large, flat Lima type. The vines are vigorous, pro- 

 ducing pods in clusters about 5 inches long, containing usually four 

 Beans which are of large size, flat and of excellent quality. The seed 

 is large, of a greenish white color, which is considered an indication 

 of superior quality. Pt. 30 cts. (by mail 38 cts.), qt. 50 cts. (by mail 

 65 cts.), y 2 pk. $1.65, pk. $3.25, bus. $13. 



POLE LIMA BEAMS 



40 



S, S. Large Flat Pole Lima 



In this Standard we believe we have the finest Pole Lima Bean that 

 it is possible to produce. The vines are very vigorous, strong 

 climbers, producing an abundance of large green pods, 5 to 6 inches 

 in length, usually closely filled with four Beans of the largest size. 

 Color of the Beans of a greenish white. When cooked the Beans are 

 very thin-skinned, extremely tender and of the finest quality. 

 Splendid for the home or market-gardener. Pt. 30 cts. (by mail 38 cts.), 

 qt. 50 cts. (by mail 65 cts.), V 2 pk. $1.25, pk. $2, bus. $6.50. 



42 Challenger or Potato 



The vines are stout and vigorous, producing pods about 4 inches 

 long and very thick, containing three to five Beans, large, thick, 



white and of the best quality. It is the latest-maturing of the Lima 

 Beans. The seed is smaller, rounder and thicker than that of other 

 Pole Beans. Pt. 25 cts. (by mail 33 cts.), qt. 40 cts. (by mail 55 cts.), 

 V 2 pk. $1.10, pk. $1.90, bus. $6. 



44 Ford's Mammoth-Podded 



This sort produces the longest pod of any of the Lima Bean family. 

 They are dark green, 5 to 6}^ inches long, flat and filled with four or 

 five large, white Beans of excellent quality. The Beans when dried are 

 smaller than the S. S. Flat Lima. On account of these large pods 

 it is frequently a favorite with gardeners. It will come into bearing 

 earlier and will make larger pods if not more than two vines are 

 allowed to grow on a pole. Pt. 20 cts. (by mail 33 cts.), qt. 40 cts. 

 (by mail 55 cts.), V 2 pk. $1.20, pk. $2.35, bus. $9.
