CULTURE — Lima Beans should not be planted before the ground has become warm in 

 spring. Strong poles ought to be set in the ground from four to six feet apart and the ground 

 drawn around them before the seed is planted. It is always best to plant after a rain and 

 with the eye of the bean down. The other varieties can be planted flat; and not more than 

 three or four feet apart, and hilled after they are up. Do not cover the seeds more than two 

 inches; one inch is enough for the Southern Prolific and Crease Back. 



Adams' Everbearing Cluster Butter. 



One of the best flavored, earliest and most 

 productive climbing Butter Beans, containing 

 numerous clusters of pods borne close to the 

 stems, each stem holding four to eight pods. 

 Pods measure three to four inches long, with 

 an average of three to four well formed small 

 beans in each. Blooms and bears more abund- 

 antly than any small climbing butter bean we 

 have known. Withstands both heat and light 

 frosts. We recommend same highly. 



Large Lima. An excellent variety. It is 

 the best shell bean known. Should have 

 rich ground, and plenty of room to grow. 



Carolina or Sewee. Similar to the Lima; 

 the only difference is the seeds and pods are 

 smaller. It is generally cultivated, being 

 more productive than the Large Lima. 



Southern Willow-leaved Sewee or But- 

 ter. This is a variety which is grown by the 

 market gardeners about New Orleans; the 

 pods and beans are the same as the Sewee or 

 Carolina Bean; it is quite distinct in the 

 leaves, being narrow like the wallow. It 

 stands the heat better than any other Butter 

 Bean, and is very productive. Originated 

 here by the late Richard Frotscher. 



Dutch Case Knife. A very good pole 

 Bean; it is early; pods broad and long; some- 

 what turned toward the end. 



Perfectly Round, Straight, Imported 

 White Crease Back Pole. Latest intro- 

 duced, which from tests made by the most 

 critical market gardeners surrounding New 

 Orleans, have been pronounced to be entirely 

 satisfactory; same type as the old style Crease 

 Back Pole Beans, except that this bean is 

 perfectly round and straight. 



Improved Kentucky Wonder, or Old 

 Homestead. This is the earliest of all green 

 podded pole beans. Enormously productive, 

 bearing its pods in clusters. The pods are 

 long, crisp, tender and bright green in color. 

 A prolific variety, one of the best on our list. 



Golden Carmine. A new strain of pole 

 variety of sterling merit; -excels in earliness, 

 quality, handsome appearance and product- 

 iveness. As the pods approach full size they 

 are mottled and streaked with an unusually 

 bright carmine color, which gives the pods a 

 strikingly beautiful and attractive appear- 

 ance. This, together with its productiveness, 

 will make it a most desirable strain of this 

 well known and popular bean.
