BEANS, POLE OB CORNFIELD—Continued 
Pole Lima Beans 
34 LAZY WIFE. A somewhat late maturing variety, 
bearing medium green pods in large clusters. Pods 
are 5% to GY 2 inches long, broad, thick, fleshy and 
entirely stringless. When young they have a rich 
flavor which is retained until they are nearly ripe. 
An excellent sort for either snap green, shelling, or 
using as dry beans. 
Fkt.,10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., $1.25. 
35 McCASLAN. The pods, produced in great abun¬ 
dance, are a rich, dark green color, measuring about 
10 inches long, rather flat and slightly curved. Fine 
for use as a snap sort, being entirely stringless 
when young. If pods are picked before maturing, 
vines bear till frost. If pods are allowed to mature, 
they produce a good sized white bean for winter use. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb.,20c; 1 lb.,30c; 2 lbs.,55c; 5 lbs.,$1.25. 
Large seeded sorts require 2 pounds to 100 poles, % 
bushels to an acre. Small Limas require about one- 
third the quantity. 
Culture —These are to be treated like other Pole 
Beans excepting they should be planted one or two 
weeks later. Where soil is very stiff, it is best to plant 
the beans with the eye downward, as they will come 
up more rapidly. 
42 FORD’S MAMMOTH PODDED. The result of 20 
years’ selection by a market gardener near Phila¬ 
delphia. It far surpasses in size and productiveness 
many other sorts and has become very popular 
throughout all sections. Pods are very large, usual¬ 
ly containing 4 to 6 beans. Vines vigorous, setting 
the Beans early and very productive. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., $1.50. 
36 OHIO WAX POLE. Pods usually 7 inches long, sol¬ 
idly meaty and entirely stringless; commences to 
bear when scarcely higher than bush variety, and 
keeps on producing until killed by frost. 
Pkt.,10c; y 2 lb.,20c; 1 lb.,35c; 2 lbs.,65c; 5 lbs.,$1.50. 
37 GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. One of the best wax 
podded pole snap beans. The vines are large, strong 
growing, vigorous and hardy. Pods 6 to 8 inches 
long, borne in clusters and vary in color from gold¬ 
en yellow to creamy white. 
43 KING OF THE GARDEN. A favorite sort on ac¬ 
count of its large size and abundant yield. The 
Beans are of greenish color, very tender and de¬ 
licious. 
Pkt.,10c; y 2 lb.,20c; 1 lb.,35c; 2 lbs.,65c; 5 lbs.,$1.50. 
44 EXTRA LARGE WHITE POLE LIMA. A choice 
variety of the Large Lima. Pods and Beans of 
large size and a good cropper. Quality unsurpassed. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb.,35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., $1.50. 
Dwarf or Bush Limas 
These are preferred in small gardens, as they can 
be grown like Dwarf Beans, and without the use of 
poles. They are not quite so prolific as the Pole 
Limas, but are earlier and continuous bearers 
throughout the season. The beans can be gathered 
much easier than the Pole Limas and they can be 
grown closer together. 
Culture —All Lima Beans are tender and the ground 
should be dry and the weather warm and settled be¬ 
fore planting. They do best in good light soil, and if 
not rich, an application of sheep manure or other 
good fertilizer will be well repaid. Plant in drills, 1 y 2 
to 2 feet apart, dropping the beans 4 to 5 inches apart 
and covering about 2 inches deep. Cultivate often un¬ 
til they commence to flower, but only when the leaves 
are dry. 
1 pound of Small Seeded Lima plants 100 to 125 
feet and is sufficient for an ordinary garden. 2 pounds 
of other sorts plant about the same space. For suc¬ 
cession, make two plantings four weeks apart. Mature 
in 75 to 90 days from planting. 
38 BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. Pods and 
beans are both larger and thicker than Burpee’s 
Bush Lima, and fully eight days earlier. Plant is a 
vigorous grower with heavy foliage. Even when of 
full size the enormous beans are of the most lus¬ 
cious flavor. 
Pkt.,10c; y 2 lb.,20c; 1 lb.,35c; 2 lbs.,65c; 5 lbs.,$1.50. 
39 FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. A very vigorous and 
erect growing variety, bearing its pods well above 
the ground in large clusters. Pods are medium 
green, about 5 inches long and contain 4 to 5 large 
thick beans of exceptionally fine quality. We con¬ 
sider this one of the best of the large seeded kinds. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., 
$1.50. 
40 BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA. A bush form of the 
Large White Lima type. Plants are somewhat 
dwarf but very productive. Pods are medium green, 
broad, containing 3 to 4 very large flat beans of the 
best quality. Seed large, flat, white, with slightly 
greenish tinge.

ductive variety of dwarf habit. Commences bearing 
very early and continues to grow and set pods until

shelling or as dry beans.
