Burpee’s Polo Lima Beans 
Pole Lima Beans greatly outyield the bush varieties per square foot of garden; 
but they require poles or other supports, and mature considerably later. Place 
6 to 8 seeds edgewise, with the eye downward, around each pole after the nights 
have become quite warm. Later thin to stand 2 or 3 plants to a pole. One 
pound of large-seeded varieties for 75 poles.

A vigorous and rapid grower, producing a contin¬ 
uous setting of pods until frost. First pickings are 
ready almost as early as Fordhook Bush Limas 
A sensational new pole lima that combines the distinctive qualities of 
Fordhook Bush Lima with an enormous yield surpassing the heavy produc¬ 
tion of other pole limas. The lustrous green glossy pods contain four or 
five and sometimes six big thick beans of green color. The pods are straight, 
five to six inches long, one and one-half inches wide, fully three-quarters 
of an inch thick, and grow four to eight in a cluster. The beans are excep¬ 
tionally tender and have the fine nutty flavor of Fordhook. 
Burpee’s Best is an extremely vigorous, strong-growing plant and a 
natural climber. It will climb to a height of ten or fifteen feet, with pods 
in clusters the entire length of the runners. Easy 
to pick and to shell—a quick basket filler. Has re¬ 
markable long-distance shipping qualities and an 
attractive appearance and wins a price preference 
over all other varieties in the lima bean markets. 
You will find in this bean a double advantage. On 
account of the large size and growth of the plants, 
less seed is required, and a greater yield is returned. 
Burpee’s Best has proved its capacity to produce as 
much as eight tons of green beans per acre. 
Burpee’s Best is the best pole lima of the Fordhook 
type for either the market or the home garden.
