POLE LIMA VARIETIES 
PLANTING- DIRECTIONS—1 lb. to 100 ft. of row; 1 acre requires about 35 
pounds. 
Pole Lima Beans should be planted in rich soil, and a sunny location. Have 
the poles lean towards the north. Four feet between the rows and 3 feet between 
the poles in the row. Plant 6 to 8 beans around each pole. Thin out and leave 
the five strongest plants. If poles are scarce put posts 10 feet apart, stretch single 
wires or netting along and plant the beans 8 to 10 inches apart. 
CAROLINA or SMALL WHITE SIEVA —Thick pods; large flavory beans; ma¬ 
tures quickly, very productive, bears throughout the season. 
CARPENTERIA —’The vines are vigorous, making a strong growth, producing 
large pods which contain four beans. The skin is very thin and tender and has 
a fine flavor. 
LARGE WHITE LIMA —A well-known pole variety of tall, vigorous growth. 
Pods are borne in clusters and are about 5 inches in length, broad and thin. 
KING OP THE GARDEN LIMA— Very vigorous and productive, continuing to 
fruit throughout the season. Pods are very large, sometimes as long as 8 inches, 
containing 6 to 7 beans to the 
pod. Used largely for home and 
market. 
SPECKLED POLE BUTTER 
BEAN (Florida Butter Bean) — 
The earliest bearing of the Pole 
Lima varieties. Will make an 
abundant crop under weather con¬ 
ditions where all other varieties 
fail. The dry beam resembles the 
small white lima in size, but are 
speckled white and brownish red. 
Our stock of this bean is excep¬ 
tionally fine and we are sure you 
will be highly pleased with its 
eating qualities. 
Florida Butter 
Burpee’s Bush Lima 
Pole Beans have some advan¬ 
tages over the bush varieties, in 
as much as they are easier to pick 
and larger quantities can be gath¬ 
ered in less time. 
BUSH LIMA VARIETIES 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—1 lb. to 100 It. ol 
row; 1 acre requires about 60 lbs. 
Lima Beans, in common with all other vari¬ 
eties of beans are sensitive to cold and should 
not be planted until all danger of frost is past. 
Require a rich, light, preferably sandy soil 
which helps to mature the “Limas” quickly. 
Select a rich soil or use old well-rotted manure: 
Plant in hills 2 x / 2 to 3 x / 2 ft- apart each way and 4 to 6 seeds in a hill, 
or in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart. 4 to 6 inches between the plants in the row 
and 2 inches deep. Draw the soil up along the plants, but do not work 
among the beans when wet as this induces rust. 
PORDHOOK —Produces a large strong plant growing upright keeping the 
pods off of the ground which prevents rot. Has a very nice flavor. 
BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA— Perhaps the best Dwarf Lima bean. Heavy 
yielder and sure cropper. Pods 4 to 5 inches long containing 3 to 5 seeds, 
large, flat and white of excellent quality. Fine for both market and home 
use. 
HENDERSON’S IMPROVED LIMA —Small bean, but most productive 
of all white sieva limas. The original lima. Very early. A great favorite 
in the South. 
JACKSON WONDER OR CALICO LIMA —A perfect Irish butter bean, 
ten inches to two feet in height, very prolific; fine quality, green or dry. 
NEW WONDER— One of the earliest, most productive of the Bush 
Limas, and has a fixed habit of growing bushy. The best variety for the 
short season country.

lected seeds you
