Fordhook Bush Limas 
POLE LIMAS 
Early Leviathan — An early, large podded Lima, the earliest of the large 
Lima Class. The pods are five to six inches long, containing five to six 
large white beans. The pods are produced in clusters and are of great 
abundance. 
King of the Garden — The standard Pole sort. A favorite with Market 
Gardeners, because of its immense size. Will bear earlier and make 
larger pods if not more than three vines are left to the pole. 
POLE OR RUNNING BEANS 
King or Mammoth Horticultural — Immense Round Beans in large 
well filled pods. Pods six to seven inches long, flat and stringless, very 
showy, light green in color, splashed with brilliant scarlet. 
White Dutch Runners — Beans are large and pure white. When 
picked green, are much like Limas. Much earlier and more productive, 
however, and are often used as a substitute for them. 
Scarlet Runner — Grown chiefly for its scarlet, ornamental flowers 
which are quite attractive. Good table qualities. 
Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead — Most popular of all the green- 
podded climbers. Pods eight to nine inches long. Slender, curved, 
somewhat stringy and of excellent quality. One of the most tender 
and delicious of all the “string beans”. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax — Similar to the above. The pods, however, 
are yellow, instead of green. Best of all the yellow-podded pole beans. 
Pods 10 inches long. 
Burpee’s Bush — The standard bush lima. Plant large, hardy 
and productive, pods four inches long, yields three to four 
beans, which are large and flat like the pole sorts, and have 
the same flavor. 
Burpee’s Improved — Both beans and pods are slightly larger 
and thicker than in the old type. They will average one Bean 
more to the pod and seem to us much more desirable. 
Fordhook (Improved) — Deservedly the most popular of the 
Bush Limas. Market gardeners are planting the Fordhook 
almost exclusively. The pod is about 5 inches long and con¬ 
tains 4 to 5 very large, oval-shaped, very thick, white beans 
of the Potato Lima type. 
Hendersons or Baby Limas — Small,"early and prolific beans 
which are very easily raised. This variety is extensively used 
by canners. 
The remaining beans require some support for the vines. 
Poles 5 to 6 feet high will answer but if not available a trellis may 
be made of wire. Plant three to four seeds in a hill, hills to be 
three feet apart. Pinch off runners at top of pole to increase yield.
