DWARF GREEN PODDED BEANS—Continued 
Fordhook Bush Lima 
Other Pole Beans 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 lb. will plant 100 hills. 
Although not always necessary most of these varieties do best if given some support for the vines. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax. Like the Kentucky Wonder ex¬ 
cept that the pods are yellow instead of green. This is 
the best pole bean with wax or yellow pods we know. It is 
early, very prolific, and the pods are long, bright yellow, 
perfectly stringless when young, and of fine quality.

Golden Cluster Wax. White Seeds. Immense pods seven 
inches long and Yz inch wide, golden yellow, thick, tender, 
brittle, stringless and of fine quality as a snap bean. Very 
prolific, matures in mid-season. Does well under adverse 
conditions when many pole beans do not succeed.

quality. Used both as a snap and shell bean.

Lowe’s Champion or Red Cranberry. A bean of the Horticultural type and one of the best of 
this class. Used both as a snap bean and for shelling green. The pods are 5 inches long, flat, 
straight, stringless and of high quality. The vines resist blight. Largely used in New England. 
Pkt. 10c; !/2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7*4 Lbs. $2.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $2.85; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.60. 
FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Special. We do not hesitate to state that we consider this the 
finest strain of French Horticultural bean which we have ever seen. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, 
straight and heavily splashed with bright red which gives them a very striking and attractive 
appearance. They grow in great profusion on the strong sturdy vines. 
This stock is of our own growing from a single plant selected in 1928 and we highly recommend it 
to all who want to grow only the best of this popular variety.

15 Lbs. $3.75; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $13.20. 
Pole Lima Beans 
Pole Limas require some support for the vines to climb on. Poles 6 to 7 feet long answer very well, 
but if not available a neat and cheap trellis can be made by placing a strong post at each end of the 
row and running a strong fence wire at top and bottom. Strings are then run from one wire to the 
other without tying or cutting, thus forming a support for the vines. The wire should be drawn 
tight and the end posts braced in some way. Plant 2 to 3 seeds in a place about a foot apart. 
IDEAL. Mammoth Podded Pole Lima. We consider this so superior to other pole limas that 
we have discontinued listing any other kind. The pods are immense, often 7 inches long and 
contain 6 large beans of the very finest quality. In fact, this variety is so superior in quality and 
yield to any other lima, that you should plan to plant as much as you possibly have room for. 
The vines are very vigorous and prolific and the beans mature only about one week later than the 
bush limas. Our strain is very fine. 
Pkt. 15c; 1/2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7*4 Lbs. $2.15 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $3.15; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.80. 
Lima Beans —Dwarf or Bush 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. Sow about 60 lbs. per acre. 
Bush Limas are more easily raised than the pole varieties 
but do not yield as much. These beans seem to bear better 
on heavy clay soil than on sand. The land should not be too 
rich. Do not plant these beans until the soil is warm and dry 
as the seed is apt to rot. Plant the seed in rows 3 feet apart 
and drop two or three in a place a foot to 18 inches apart. 
When the young plants put out the first true leaves thin to 
one plant to a place. 
FORDHOOK. The Best Dwarf Lima. These are the 
earliest, and best of the large podded dwarf limas. The 
pods are of good size and filled with four to five plump 
thick beans. The beans are light green in color and of fine 
quality. The vines grow upright and are extremely vigor¬ 
ous and productive. This is the best dwarf variety for the 
home garden and those who prefer the thick “potato” 
Limas will find this strain far superior to any other. It is 
the most popular and profitable variety to raise for market.

BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. This strain of Bur¬ 
pee’s Bush Lima has beans of larger size and deeper green 
than the old strain. Vines are more true to the bush form.

quality and are preferred by many people. True stock.

White Dutch Runner. The beans are very large, pure white 
and much resemble Limas. When picked while green 
they are used in the same way. They are much earlier 
and more productive than Limas, so are often grown as 
a substitute for them, where Limas do not do well.
