Dependable Vegetable Seeds 
BEANS 
Henderson’s Bush Lima. Grows about 18 inches 
high without aid of stakes or poles. Produces large crop of 
delicious lima beans, bearing continuously from early sum¬ 
mer to frost. 
Pole or Running Varieties 
Cut Short or Corn Hill Used largely in the South 
where it is planted among corn rows. Green podded, 
climbing. Poles not necessary. Short snap pods, fleshy 
and 01 good quality. 
Golden Pod Kentucky Wax. a pole variety, very 
similar to the Kentucky Wonder but pods are broader. 
They are fleshy, stringless and very long. Being early 
and hardy, it is adapted to the North. 
Kentucky Wonder Pole. (Old Homestead.) This 
climbing variety is very vigorous and productive and 
bears i ts pods in large clusters. The pods are green, very 
long, often being nine or ten inches, nearly round, very 
crisp, and so fleshy that they are greater in width than 
breadth. The seed i s long, oval, dun-colored. Very 
early, and the best to use in the green state. 
Scarlet Runner. Ornamental and useful. The vine 
is graceful; flowers are of a brilliant scarlet, and the 
beans are of excellent quality.

broad kidney shaped, flat, clear white 
and of excell ant quality used either 
green or dry. A green podded kid¬

corn hill sort. Long flat, green pods

young 
Field Beans

baking bean that made Boston famous. 
Pods about 4 inches long containing 5 
to 7 almost round, small white beans.

Bean 
Cultivation . Next in importance 
to pure seed is the selection of the 
soil in which beans are to grow. It is 
true that beans thrive on most all 
soils but greater results are gained by 
the liberal use of fertilizer or planting 
in light, rich, well drained loam. 
Beans are extremely sensitive to frost 
and moisture. It is useless to plant 
them before all danger of frost is past 
and the ground is warm. Sow the 
seed in drills two to three feet apart 
and four to eight inches apart in 
the row. They should be frequently 
cultivated up to the time of blossom¬ 
ing, but this should never be done 
when the ground or plants are wet 
with rain or dew, as it will be sure 
to injure them. If disturbed while 
in bloom, it will prevent their 
setting well. 
Plant bush beans 2 inches deep in 
drills 24 to 30 inches apart, placing 
the seed 3 inches apart, or 4 seeds in 
hills 24 inches apart.
