BURPEE'S LARGE BUSH LIMA. They form large branching bushes 18 or 20 inches high, and 

 f2 or 3 feet across. The strong constitution of the plant is shown in its stout, thick stalks and large, deep 

 green/leathery leaves, as much as in its heavy yield of thick, broad, handsome pods, which are as large 

 and ivell filled as those of the Pole Limas ; as many as 200 pods have been counted on a single plant.

 its pods in great abundance. The Beans are crowded thickly in the pods and are thick, sweet and succu- 

 lent. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 18 cts., qt. 40 cts., 4 qts. $1.40, pk. $2.50. 



Pole, or Running Beans. 



(©tcmgen 23ofmen.) 



Pole Beans are not so hardy as the Bush sorts, and should be planted several weeks later, when danger 

 from frost is over. Plant the seeds in slightly raised hills 3 or 4 feet apart, 4 or 5 seeds to the hill. The 

 Limas are especially tender, and the rule for late outside planting with them is rigid. Painstaking culti- 

 vators, who "are usually the most successful, plant them eye downward, after setting stout poles for every 

 hill. All sorts of late-ripening Pole Beans are benefited by pinching the tips of the vines back when they 

 are about 5 feet high. A quart of Limas will plant about 100 hills ; a quart of the smaller sorts about 200.
