Sure-Crop Stringless Wax Beans 



Giant Improved Bush Lima Beans 



POLE or RUN- 

 NING BEANS 



( ©tangert 33o6rten) 



Less hardy than the Bush Beans, and should be planted several weeks later, when the 

 ground is warmer. Plant the seeds in slightly raised hills, 5 or 6 feet apart, four or five 

 seeds to a hill. The Limas are especially tender, and the rule for late outside planting 

 with them is rigid. Painstaking cultivators who are usually the most successful plant 

 them eye downward, after setting stout poles for every hill. All sorts of Iate-npening Pole 

 Beans are benefited by pinching the tips of the vines back when they are about 5 feet high. 

 Lima Beans are considered by many the very finest of all Beans, and there is nothing in 

 the vegetable line that can take their place. A quart of Limas will plant about lO^'hil's; 

 a quart of smaller sorts about 200.
