One quart ivill plant 100 hills. 

 Culture. — These require poles 8 to. 10 feet long. The Beans should be planted the middle of May, if the 

 season is suitable. Lima Beans are apt to rot if planted too early. Set poles 4 feet apart each way. and plant 

 four to six Beans about 1 inch deep, around each pole. Thin out to three plants to a pole, if the soil is rich; pinch 

 off the ends of the plants when they overrun the top of the poles to effect more perfect growth below. They suc- 

 ceed best in sandy loam, with a shovelful of rich, light and well-rotted compost to each hill, well incorporated. 

 Lima Beans for early use may be grown in frames and transplanted. 



One week earlier than any other Pole Lima and two weeks earlier than 

 most. Of superior quality, immense size, wonderfully productive. One of 

 the best varieties of Pole Lima for general use. This delicious vegetable is denied manj- would-be growers on 

 account of the length of season required to mature it, the early frost coming on just as the crop is ready to pick. 

 This sort is at least one week earlier tTian any large Pole Lima yet offered and fully two weeks earlier than most, 

 consequently it will prove a boon to thousands of growers. Earliness is often obtained at the sacrifice of other 

 valuable features, but in this variety we claim superiority, not only in this respect, but in size of bean and pod 

 and enormous productiveness. It is, in fact, about perfect and of incalculable value. Pkt. oc. and 10c. , pt.

Burnee's fliant-PnHrlprl The largest podded and heaviest cropper of all Lima Beans. The pods are 

 * v^^v*^^ ^^Yy gigantic in size, frequently measuring from 7 to 83^2 inches in length 

 by 132 to nearly 2 inches in width. The beans are extra large and thicker than 

 any other Pole Lima, excepting only those of the Potato Lima type; they are 

 invariably of finest flavor. Burpee's Giant-Podded excels all other Limas in A-igor 

 of growth. The vines grow so rapidly that they quickh' cover the poles. In rich 

 ground we would recommend planting only two or three seeds to a hill and thin- 

 ning out to one plant. The pods, borne in clusters of from four to eight, stand 

 out well from the foliage. Pkt. oc. and 10c. , pt. 40c., qt. 70c., pk. 84.50, bus.

Culture. — A species of the Cabbage family which produces miniature heads from 

 the sides of the stalk. These heads are of great delicacy, boiled in the same way as 

 Cauliflower. The seeds should be sown about the middle of May, in a seed bed, 

 and the plants afterward set in rows 2 feet or more apart, and cultivated like 

 Cabbage. This vegetable does not require extremely high cultivation, however. 

 It is ready for use late in Autumn, after the early frosts.
