Schell’s Strain Fordhook 
Bush Lima Beans 
Growers Everywhere Say Ours Grow Belter and 
They Yield Better 
HOW TO GROW THEM.—Make the rows 2 feet 
apart and give each plant 12 inches of space. If the 
soil becomes hard or crusted, keep it broken up, or your 
Limas will never come up. Do not plant Limas until 
the soil is warm, about May 15 in this latitude. One 
quart will plant 150 feet of row; 20 to 24 quarts to 
the acre. Plant with the eye down. 
We prepay freight on all orders for 100 lbs. 
of Beans of one or more varieties 
My Fordhook Limas are pure stock, excel¬ 
lent quality. The Beans are very thick, meaty, 
and of delicious flavor. They are ready for use 
a week earlier than other dwarf Limas and bear 
very heavily. The plants stand very erect, never 
prostrate or running, and are filled with many 
clusters of pods. Remember that my improved 
strain of Fordhooks, bred up to increased yield, 
richer flavor, and attractive green color, will 
mean better prices and quicker sales for you— 
quality counts more than price on any market.

preferred so much by the Pennsylvania Dutch gardeners and farmers 
of this state. The Beans are shelled from the pods as you do Limas or

pods and when dried for winter use. The photograph shows the natural

body will want them. They are a Pole Bean. Pkt. 15 cts.; Vilb. 30 cts.;
