POLE LIMAS 
Probably Originally a Native of Peru or Brazil 
Two Pounds Will Plant 100 Yards; Thirty Pounds Will Plant an Acre 
THE FLAVOR OF ALL THE POLE LIMAS IS SUPERIOR TO BUSH LIMAS 
Seed breaks ground in 7 days. One inch high in 9 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse 
Carolina or Sewee—80 Days 
A small early variety of Limas, much more used in 
the South than elsewhere, as a Butter Bean, more 
vigorous in growth and more prolific than the or¬ 
dinary Jersey Limas. Very small foliage, short 
pointed leaves, more metallic green than the 
ordinary Lima. Pods, about 3 inches long, borne in 
clusters, averaging 3 or 4 small white beans. Similar 
to Dwarf Sewee, Henderson’s Bush or Baby Lima. 
Challenger, Dreer’s, or Fordhook Pole—89 Days 
Beans very full or plump, larger foliage than Jersey 
Lima, pods not so long as the King of the Garden 
by inches, but as broad; not so early as the King 
of the Garden, the original parent of the Fordhook 
Bush Lima, very meaty and good flavor. Potato 
lima type. Pods about 4 inches long, containing 
about 3 or 4 beans which are similar but not as 
plump as the Fordhook Bush Lima. 
Florida Butter Speckled Pole—77 Days 
Plant similar to Carolina. Borne in clusters. Seed 
small, buff spotted with reddish-brown. Usually 
three beans in a pod. 
King of the Garden—84 Days 
One of the best and most productive Pole Limas, 
large leaved, good climber. Vine of a branching 
habit, pods about 4| to 5£ inches long, dark, large 
and containing about 3 or 4 beans to the pod. 
Seed flat, and white with a slight green tinge. 
LANDRETHS’ LARGE GREEN SEEDED—84 
Days 
Seed of a decided green tinge, that is, not bleached 
ivory-white. This green seeded selection is similar 
to the Jersey Lima of years ago which has never 
been excelled. The best form of Jersey Limas on 
the market today for both private and market 
gardeners, unsurpassed in flavor, of superior quality, 
averaging 4 or 5 beans to the pod, which is 4f to 
5£ inches long. 
Large Early Jersey—84 Days 
One of the old standbys of the Lima type. Pods 
average 4 to 4| inches long. Contain 3 beans each. 
Seed identical to the King of the Garden.
