HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
POLE LIMAS— THE BEST KINDS 
A MONG these we find the same subdivision as with 
"Ca, the bush type, namely, the very small, the fat or 
potato Lima, and the large seeded kind. The earliest and 
most productive is the Suva Pole Lima, esteemed in the 
South as “ butter bean.” Corresponding to the Kummerle 
or Dreer’s Bush Lima we have the Challenger or Potato 
Pole Lima in this class which is later but very productive 
and does well even where seasons are wet. 
Easily the most prolific among the large white Limas 
of the pole type is Henderson s Leviathan. While the 
pods are small, as compared with later sorts, they are 
borne in greatest abundance, are well-filled, and the beans 
are of good size. King of the Garden or Large White 
Lima is the most widely used in this class to date, but 
it is sure to be superseded by New Giant-podded Pole 
Lima, as shown here.
