64 McCREA BUSH LIMA BEAN 
Genuine Baby Fordhook 
The Baby Fordhook. Just what we have been waiting for. To give an idea 
of the size of the beans themselves—the Fordhooks, listed on page 94, are so 
large that 22 seeds will weigh one ounce. The McCrea is so small that it 
takes 70 seeds to weigh one ounce. While the seed itself is small, the plant 
is nearly as large as the original Fordhook. Plants are stocky, erect, dark 
green, cf medium season, and a heavy yielder of pods which are rather 
thick, slightly curved and contain from 3 to 5 seeds. Green Shell Beans of 
true Potato type. Although the pods are small, the unusually delicious 
flavor of this Baby Lima has already made it a popular favorite with the 
J ; market growers as well as the home gardeners. Pkt. 100; i/ 2 lb. 250; 
lb. 450; 2 lbs. 850; 5 lbs. $1.70; 10 lbs. or more @ 32gi per lb.

POLE LIMA BEANS 
Pole Lima Beans greatly outyield the bush varieties per square foot of garden; but they 
require poles or other supports, and mature considerably later. Place 6 to 8 seeds edgewise, 
with the eye downward, around each pole after the nights have become quite warm. Later 
thin to stand 2 or 3 plants to a pole. One pound of large-seeded varieties for 75 poles.
