Leviathan Extra- 
Early Pole Lima Bean 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
Where poles can be secured, these Beans are more productive than the Bush 
varieties. Set poles 3 feet apart, enrich the soil in the hills by mixing with it a 
liberal supply of fertilizer or well-rotted manure. Set Beans edgewise with the eye 
down. Tie up the tendrils as often as necessary until they have taken a firm hold 
on the poles. Do not plant until the ground is warm. 
One pound will plant fifty poles

Scarlet Runner. The pods are long, straight, fleshy, tender when young, and 
can be used like any other string Bean; the Beans shelled are prepared in the same 
manner as Limas and are very delicious. Also largely grown for its bright scarlet 
flowers, which are borne profusely and prove to be a very ornamental feature of the 
garden. 341b. 25 cts., lb. 45 cts., 2 lbs. 80 cts. 
ENGLISH BROAD BEANS 
English Broad Windsor. The Broad Bean is grown entirely as a crop for shelling. 
Somewhat larger than Limas, delicious when cooked. English Broad Beans are very 
hardy, and the seeds should be sown at the same time as peas. Plant in double rows, 
9 inches apart and 3 feet between the double rows; 2 inches is the proper depth. Pinch 
out the tops when in bloom. 341b. 30 cts., lb. 55 cts., 2 lbs. $1. 
GARDEN or TABLE BEETS 
Sow as early as the ground can be worked, in rich or well-manured garden 
soil which has been deeply plowed or spaded. Sow in drills 34 to 1 inch in depth, 
allowing a space of 18 inches between rows for cultivation. Successive sowings 
can be made until July. During the summer it is advisable to soak the seed over 
night in water before planting. Sow rather thickly and when plants are 2 to 
3 inches high, thin out to 4 or 5 inches between plants. The young plants which 
you take out need not be wasted; they are, in fact, superior to spinach for greens. 
One ounce will sow 40 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds for an acre
