GREEN PODDED DWARF BEANS—Continued 
CONSERVA. Early and Prolific. This new bean is a most excellent canning variety, and 
one of the best garden beans. The pods are straight, round entirely stringless and of excellent 
quality. The pods are borne in great profusion and in clusters which make them very easy to 
pick. The seed is white, faintly spotted with pink. 
Pkt. 10c; 1/2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; T 1 /? Lbs. $2.20 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $3.15; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.80. 
NEW STRINGLESS REFUGEE. A stringless strain of Refugee. A valuable late market or 
canning variety. Pods round, light green, stringless and of high quality. 
Pkt. 10c; 1/2 Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 71/2 Lbs. $2.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
Lowe’s Champion or Red Cranberry. A bean of the Horticultural type and one of the best of 
this class. Used both as a snap bean and for shelling green. The pods are 5 inches long, flat, 
straight, stringless and of high quality. The vines resist blight. Largely used in New England. 
Pkt. 10c; 1/2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7*/2 Lbs. $2.15 transportation paid. Not paid:

Ruby Dwarf Horticultural. Better than the old Horticultural. Pods of good length, lignt 
green, heavily splashed with bright red, stringless and of fine quality. Used both as a snap 
and shell bean. 
Pkt. 10c; Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 7*/2 Lbs. $2.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Selected Strain. Our selected Northern grown strain of 
this variety is extra fine. The pods are long straight and profusely splashed with bright red 
color. Although a week or ten days later than Ruby Dwarf Horticultural, this bean is valuable 
because it produces bigger crops and the pods are larger and more handsome. The vines 
grow 2 feet tall and produce immense crops. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7 1 / 2 Lbs. $2.20 transportation paid. Not paid:

Lima Beans— Dwarf or Bush 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. 
Bush Limas are more easily raised than the 
pole varieties but do not yield as much. These 
beans seem to bear better on heavy clay soil than 
on sand. The land should not be too rich. Do 
Sow about 60 lbs. per acre. 
not plant these beans until the soil is warm and 
dry as the seed is apt to rot. Plant the seed in 
rows 3 feet apart and drop two in a place a foot 
or 18 inches apart. 
FORDHOOK. The Best Dwarf Lima. This is the earliest and best of the large podded dwarf 
limas. The pods are of good size and filled with four to five plump thick beans. The beans are 
light green in color and of the finest quality. The vines grow upright and are extremely vigorous 
and productive. This is the best dwarf variety for the home garden and those who prefer the 
thick “potato” Limas will find this strain far superior to any other. It is the most popular and 
profitable variety to raise for market where the beans are sold in the pods. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 80c; 7*/2 Lbs. $2.75 transportation paid. 
15 Lbs. $4.20; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $15.00. 
BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. This strain of 
Burpee’s Bush Lima has beans of larger size and deeper 
green color than the old strain and the vines are more true 
to the bush form with fewer runners. The beans are both 
larger and thicker than the old form. 
Pkt. 10c; y 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7l/ 2 Lbs. $2.45 
transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.60; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $12.60. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima, WONDER STRAIN. This improved 
strain bears larger crops and is earlier than the old and 
original variety. The beans are large, flat and of fine 
quality. This is one of the earliest large podded bush 
Limas. 
Pkt. 10c; 1/2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7y 2 Lbs. $2.30 
transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.30; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $11.40. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima. Small, early and prolific; not of 
quite as fine quality as Burpee’s Bush and Fordhook, but 
much hardier, earlier, and more easily raised. This is the 
variety used by canners to produce “Baby Limas.” 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; Lbs. $2.00

Pole Lima Beans 
Pole Limas require some support for the vines to climb on. 
Poles 6 to 7 feet long answer very well, but if not available 
a neat and cheap trellis can be made by placing a strong post 
at each end of the row and running a strong fence wire at top 
and bottom. Strings are then run from one wire to the other 
forming a support for the vines. The string is run back and 
forth from one wire to the other without tying or cutting. 
The wire should be drawn tight and the end posts braced in 
some way. Plant 2 to 3 seeds in a place about a foot apart. 
IDEAL. Mammoth Podded Pole Lima. We consider this 
so superior to other pole limas that we have discontinued 
listing any other kind. The pods are immense, often 7 
inches long and contain 6 large beans of fine quality. The 
vines are very vigorous and prolific and the beans mature 
only about one week later than the bush limas. Our strain 
is very fine, producing large pods in great abundance.

Other Pole Beans 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 lb. will plant 100 hills. 
Although not always necessary most of these varieties do best if given some support for the vines. 
Scotia Beans— Tender and Delicious 
If you want the very best, most tender and delicious “string beans,” raise the Scotia. 
Many of our customers who have raised Scotia beans for years know how delicious they are, but those who have not tried 
them have a treat coming. The pods of the Scotia when cooked have a rich, melting buttery flavor possessed by no other bean. 
It is one of the earliest of the pole beans and commences to bear as soon as the early bush beans are gone. A few hills will 
produce enough for a family and if kept picked will bear through August and September when the earlier bush beans are gone. 
Plant enough to can—Scotia beans are delicious; far more rich and tender than any other canned beans we have ever eaten.
