 limas are pure white. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 40 cts.; qt. 75 cts., postpaid; pk. $3.80;

CULTURE. Choose light soil and make small hills 3 feet apart, having previously spaded 

 deeply and fertilized. Plant long ix)les 2 feet deep in the center of the hills. Allow 6 beans to 

 each hill, covering them barely beneath the surface, their eyes downwai'd. Do not allow more 

 than 3 to climb a pole, but remove extra ijlants to hills where less than 3 have sprouted. The 

 lima bean is very delicate, and often from slight causes fails to sprout. They should not be 

 planted until the ground is warm.

 Bean nature has ever supplied. The largest podded, largest seeded, heaviest yielder, 

 and most perfect Pole Lima that is grown. The mammoth pods measure 7 to 8^/4 

 inches long, and V/, to 2 inches in width. The vigorous growth of the vines will

 clusters. You will really enjoy growing the "Emerald Isle"; it is early, fine flavor, 

 and bears abundantly until killing frost. We want to supply you with our .stock.
