Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima 
DWARF OR BUSH 
LIMA BEANS 
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima* 
This is by far the most popular of the Bush Lima type. 
The bushes grow from 18 to 24 inches high of stout, 
erect growth, forming bushes of two to three feet in 
diameter. The pods are frequently borne in clusters of 
five to eight each containing four or five large, thick, 
white beans. 
Henderson’s Bush 
A vigorous hardy, very early and small type of Bush 
Lima. The beans are small, white and of very good 
quality. 
Fordhook Bush* 
A most excellent variety that is exceedingly popular 
with market gardeners. The pods are about 5 inches 
long, each having 4 or 5 large, oval-shaped thick, white 
beans of fine quality. 
Broad Windsor 
An old-fashioned shell bean, often called the tree bean 
because it grows on one upright stalk. It is used largely 
as a green shelled bean. Dry beans are very large and 
yellowish green in color. 
Stringleae Grwn Pod Beans— See Page 3 
POLE BEANS 
CULTURE. Beans being very tender and delicate when 
coming out of the ground and also very quick in making 
their appearance after being planted, care should be 
taken not to plant while there is still danger of frost. 
May 10th to 25th is, as a rule, the best time for bean 
planting. Pole Beans require better soil than the dwarf 
varieties owing to the longer period required to produce 
the stalks and pods. Plant 6 seeds in a hill, two inches 
deep and set poles three feet apart each way. 
King of the Garden Pole Lima* 
The vines are very vigorous and prolific. Pods are of 
large size filled with 4 or 5 large white beans of very fine 
quality. The beans are easily shelled and of handsome 
appearance. A popular market garden variety. 
Lazy Wife 
So named on account of the large number of pods, mak¬ 
ing it easy to obtain a mess. One of the best varieties 
for snaps of the large late green-podded pole beans. The 
pods grow in large clusters, are 5 to 7 inches long, broad, 
thick, fleshy and stringless. They have a rich buttery 
flavor. The dry bean is also fine for winter use. 
Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead 
This climbing variety is very vigorous and productive 
and bears'its pods in large clusters. The pods are green 
and almost round, often measuring 8 to 10 inches long. 
They are stringless, very tender and bear all summer. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax 
Very similar to the green podded Kentucky Wonder, but 
the pods are a little broader. They are fleshy and string¬ 
less and are of excellent quality. The pods are very long 
and light yellow. 
Scarlet Runner 
A bean that is edible as well as ornamental. It is a 
fine climber, quick growing, and has large beautiful 
leaves and bright scarlet blossoms. 
FIELD BEANS 
CULTURE. Early plowing, at least five weeks before 
planting time, is necessary for good results with Field 
Beans. After this the land should be cultivated fre¬ 
quently to bring it into the best possible condition. 
Beans thrive on most all soils, but better 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. 
Navy (M. A. C.) 
This is a much improved strain of the old popular white 
baking bean. It is smaller in size and more round, but 
Is highly recommended on account of its heavy yield and 
disease resistant quality. 
Navy (Great Northern) 
A large Navy bean which is giving splendid results. The 
seed is large, flat, and slightly kidney shaped. It Is a 
fine baker and Is sometimes used as a small lima. 
Brown or Swedish 
This is a fine field bean of a light brownish color and 
medium size. Very fine for baking.
