POLE LIMAS 



The culture is the same as for other pole 

 beans except that being more tender, the 

 seed is usually planted one to two weeks 

 later. In some classes of soil it will be 

 found of advantage to place the beans on edge 

 with the eye down as when planted in this 

 manner they germinate and come up more 

 readily.

beiberts Larly Lima byusinisQS. 



In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty 



and quality of the green beans, this variety 



leads all other early limas for either the 



garden or market. Vine vigorous, 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. 



Pods medium green, lai'ge, flat, about five 



inches long, moderately curved. Green 



shelled beans very large, very tender and of finest quality. 



Seed ovoid, flat with slight greenish tinge. The beans shrink 



in drying so that the seed is about the size of the Large White 



Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $8.00

While the variety matures a little later than Seibert's Early 



Lima, the pods are much larger and no lima grown is more 



attractive. Seed large, ovoid, flat, white with slight greenish

 dium dark green, very large, five to six inches long, broad, 

 flat, filled with four or five immense wliite beans of finest qual- 

 ity. On account of its large pods it is a favorite with market 

 gardeners. Coine into bearing earlier and will make larger 

 pods if not more than two vines are left to grow on a pole. 

 Seed very large, ovoid, flat, w-hite, with slight greenish tinge.

 When cooked the beans are very thin skinned, extremely 

 tender and of finest flavor. Seed very large, exceptionally
