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 

 4 to 6 Beans, about 1 inch deep, around each pole. Thin out to 3 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 succeed 

 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. 



Schultz's Early Market Pole Lima ° ne - week earlier than an > r other Pole Lima an d two weeks 



. i. 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. 5c. and 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 60c, pk. $4.50, bus. $16.00. 



Burpee's Giant-Podded ^ e ^ a F§ est Podded and heaviest cropper of all Lima Beans. The pods are 

 — . ±_ „ truly gigantic in size, frequently measuring from seven to eight and one-half 



inches in length by one and a half to nearly two inches in width. The beans ^ 

 are extra large and thicker than any other Pole Lima, excepting only those of the 

 Potato Lim'a 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 thinning out to one plant. The pods borne in clusters 

 of from four to eight, stand out well from the foliage. Pkt. 5c and 10c, pt.
