..^Ford's Mammoth Podded Pole Lima Bean. 



This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years' selection by the 

 late Jas. Ford, who was one of the oldest market gardeners around Phila- 

 delphia. The pods grow to an average length of eight inches, are pro- 

 duced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per pod, of most 

 excellent quality, for using either green or dry. The vines grow vigor- 

 ously, setting the beans early at the bottom of the pole, and continue in 

 bearing right up to frost. Ford's Mammoth Podded is without exception 

 the- largest podded, finest flavored and most productive of all Lima Beans
