^Fordhook Bush Lima Bean 



Bush Lima Beans 



Like Pole Limas, these are very tender, and cannot 

 be planted until the soil is quite warm and the weather 

 is settled. Plant in rows 2 feet apart and 8 inches apart 

 in the rows. Plant the eye downward. One Quart will 

 plant 100 feet of row. 



Extra-Early Giant Bush Lima 



This new variety may be considered the earliest of all 

 the large-podded Bush Limas. Bean of same size and of 

 equally good quality as those of Giant Improved, de- 

 scribed next, but it matures approximately 10 days 

 earlier and is more prolific. A splendid acquisition. 

 Pkt. 15 cts., pt. 45 cts., qt. 85 cts., 2 qts. $1.60. 



Giant Improved Bush Lima. This is superior to 

 any of the older forms of Bush Lima. Plant very vigor- 

 ous and upright, attaining a height of 30 inches and 24 

 inches across. Pods often borne in clusters of 5 to 8 and 

 of enormous size. Beans are larger than those of any 

 other variety, excepting the Extra-early Giant de- 

 scribed above, and of the very best quality. Matures 

 earlier than others; immenselv productive. Pkt. 15 cts., 

 pt. 45 cts., qt. 85 cts., 2 qts. $1.60. 



Fordhook Bush Lima. Both pods and Beans are 

 larger than those of any other Potato Lima, of which 

 type Fordhook is easily the most perfect to date. Habit 

 of plant a strong, erect, bush-like growth. Pods borne 

 in clusters of from 4 to 8, averaging 5 Beans to the pod. 

 Exceedingly productive and of best quality. Pkt. 15c, 

 pt. 45 cts., qt. 85 cts., 2 qts. $1.60. 



Quarter-Century, or Wonder Bush Lima. The 

 best type of the ever-popular Burpee Bush Lima. Plants 

 large, bushy, and vigorous, 18 to 20 inches high and as 

 much across; yields heavy crops of large, well-filled pods, 

 containing 3 or 4 Beans each, which in size and quality 

 are equal to the older types of Pole Lima. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 pt. 40 cts., qt. 70 cts., 2 qts. $1.35. 



Wood's Bush Lima. Larger than Hendeison Bush 

 Lima, as productive and of as good quality, but a little 

 later. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 35 cts., qt. 65 cts., 2 qts. $1.25. 



Bush or Pole Limas— Which? 



Where space permits and poles can be gotten, grow 

 some of both! The bush sorts bear early but, on 

 account of short vines, do not bear so heavily as the 

 climbing type. Our choice of a 

 combination is Extra-Early Giant 

 Bush and Fordhook, together with 

 Leviathan and Carpinteria Pole. 



Carpinteria Pole Lima combines high quality 

 with unusual bearing power 



Pole or Running Beans 



These and Bush Limas are less hardy than other 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, 4 or 5 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 suc- 

 cessful, plant them eye downward, after setting stout poles for every hill. All sorts of late- 

 ripening 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 100 hills; a quart of smaller sorts about 200.
