Henderson's Leviathan Pole Lima 



THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN 



CC Many growers prefer tin pole varieti o! Lima These ar< as a class, later than the 



bush sorts, and consequent^ in son i • calities there is a difficulty in maturing th< 

 in Northern State-, or where, by reason I continued cool nights, the growth i- less rapid 

 Leviathan will be tound admirably adapt. 



The plant is strong and takes to thi poll - more readily than am other sou It is tuli* i 

 week earlier than any other pole variety, therefore can be grown successfully where 

 sorts would be caught by trosts ot early autumn. Moreover, it is a prodigious cropper, pn 

 during its pods in large clusters irom base to top of pole, frequently from 5 to 10 togethe 

 These are well filled with large, fleshy Bean-- of excellent quality, delicate, pale green in I 

 and possessing in a superlative degree that rich, buttery flavor. (See illustration Price

 size ol the individual Beans, gives a net crop ol really remarkable proportion- 

 Though a little later than our early Leviathan, it is iti-^t as earl] as. t tie ordinal-.
