LIMA BEANS-Pole Varieties 



Haricots a rames, Fr. 

 Fagiuoli mangia tutto, Ital. 

 One quart will 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. 



Schllltz's Early Market ^ ne wee ^ eai *li e r 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 many 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 than 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. 10c, pt. 35c, 

 qt. 60c, pk. S3.50, bus. S12.00. 



Burpee's Giant-Podded 



by 1M to nearly 2 inches in width. 



The largest podded and heaviest cropper of all Lima Beans. The 

 truly gigantic in size, frequently measuring from 7 to inches 

 The beans are extra large and thicker than 



pods are 

 in length 



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 vigor 

 of growth. The vines grow so rapidly that they quickly 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. 10c, pt. 35c, qt. 60c, pk. $3.50, bus. $12.00.
