POLE LIMA BEANS 



/Siebert's Early Lima 



' Introduced by us in 1895. Practical value has 



been the object aimed at in the development of 

 this grand variety. It is the outcome of the labors 

 of a skillful market gardener who selected for 

 several years the largest green beans from the 

 thinnest and most easily opened pods. The vine 

 is very productive and continues so from the very 

 first to the last of the season, so that although 

 the pods rarely contain more than four beans 

 the total yield is enormous. The green shelled 

 beans are of immense size and are tender and 

 succulent. They shrink in drying to about the 

 size of the Large White Lima. In earliness, ease 

 of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the green 

 beans, this variety is far in advance of ail other 

 sorts. It is recognized as the best of all the 

 Limas for either the garden or market. Pkt.lOc;

King of the Garden Linia 



/ 



Vines very vigorous and productive. Pods of the 

 largest size, filled with four or five immense 

 white beans of the finest quality. On account of 

 its large pods it is a favorite with market gar- 

 deners. It will come into bearing sooner and 

 will make larger pods if not more than two vines 

 are left to grow on a pole. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c;

^ sort are very stout, vigorous and produc- 

 tive. The pods are much thicker than 



those of the other Limas and contain 

 from four to five beans which are large, 

 thick, white and of the best qual- 

 ity. It is early and continues to 

 produce large clusters of pods 

 until cut off by frost. One of the 

 most popular varieties 

 with the New York mar- 

 ket gardeners. This is 

 similar to, but a decided 

 impiovement on what 

 is known 

 Dreer's Im- 

 proved Lima.
