TRIUMPH 



SIVER MEDAL WINNER — ALL AMERICA SELECTIONS 



Recommended for canning and freezing and wherever a high 

 quality Baby Lima is desired. Triumph Lima Bean is the result 

 of a cross between Fordhook Bush Lima and Sieva Pole Lima. 

 A U. S. Department of Agriculture product, it was selected 

 as a variety of high eating quality and small seed size. 

 The pods are the same length as Henderson, but narrower 

 and thicker. The beans are three to four in number; tightly 

 packed in the pods; uniform light green seed coats; approxi- 

 mately same sieve size as Henderson, but heavier because of 

 thickness. The bright-green color holds in the canned beans. 

 The plants are as wide as Henderson, but slightly shorter and 

 more compact. The pods are borne in clusters under the foliage 

 near the base of the plants. Season 70 days.

 carry 3 to 4 beans that are plump, and of the finest flavor.

 standard Fordhook. Season 72 days.

POLE LIMAS 



EMPIRE STATE 



This new pole lima bean is unique — "the only one of its kind." 



In place of the customary 4 to 5 beans to the pod as found 



in other varieties, Empire State has mostly 6. Furthermore, 



this new variety shows greater productivity in pods per plant, 



so that a season's yield is truly enormous. 



The pods of Empire Slate are of giant size, the average length 



being about 7 inches. They are borne in great clusters from 



the top to the bottom of the plant. 



The beans are uniformly large and fleshy with a perfection of 



flavor, luscious and rich. They are ideal for freezing. 



The vines show great vigor, and under normal conditions 



grow up to 12 feet or more in height. The bearing season 



extends over a long period.
