Burpee's 
Improved Bush 
Lima Bean 
English Broad Bean 
BROAD WINDSOR. An old-fashioned English shell Bean. 
This Bean is very hardy; it should be planted as early 
as the ground will permit, 3 or 4 inches deep in rows 
3 feet apart, and plants 4 feet apart in row. Dry beans 
very large and yellowish green. Pkt., 15c; lb., 35c; 2 
lbs., 65c. 
Dwarf Lima Beans 
1 lb. will plant about 50 hills 
More hardy than the pole varieties and therefore may 
be planted earlier. Make rows 2 feet apart and plant the 
Beans, eyes down, every 2 inches. Cover about 2 inches 
deep. Thin to 6 inches. Note: In very wet weather Bush 
Lima Beans will sometimes send out runners about 2 feet 
long. 
HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. A bush of the Sieva Lima; 
Beans small but vine is productive and bears early. 
Pkt., 15c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs. or over, 24c 
per lb. 
BURPEE'S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. A distinct strain. 
The earliest, largest, and the best of all large Limas. 
This new strain differs from the popular Burpee's Bush 
Lima in bearing uniformly much larger pods, producing 
more Beans, while both pods and beans are much 
larger and thicker. While the Beans are as large as 
those of the large Lima, the crop of the Improved is 
ready for gathering from 8 to 10 days earlier. In 
quality the Beans are equal to any, being thin-skinned, 
juicy and of fine flavor. Pkt., 15c; lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 
45c; 10 lbs. or over, 20c per lb. 
FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. One of the leading varieties 
of Bush Lima Beans. The plant is of stiffly erect habit, 
the Beans are much larger and of superior quality and 
'even when full size are juicy and of fine flavor. Pkt., 
15c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c. 
Pole or Running Lima Beans 
1 lb. will plant 100 hills. 
SEIBERT'S EARLY LIMA. The earliest variety; the pods 
are short and rarely contain more than 4 Beans, the 
total yield compares very favorably with other va¬ 
rieties. Pods are opened easily, owing to the fact that 
they are very thin. Pkt., 15e; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
10 lbs. or over, 24c per lb. 
Kentucky Wonder 
Wax Beans 
KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. Earlier than the Large 
Lima, and pods are longer and often contain 5 Beans of 
the largest size. The vine is large and of remarkably 
vigorous growth and will produce larger pods and bear 
earlier if only two are allowed to grow to the pole. 
Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55e; 10 lbs. or over, 24c 
per lb. 
Beans, Poie or Running, 
Wax Podded Sorts 
1 lb. will plant about 100 hills 
Pole Beans require considerable care. They are, when 
properly grown, of long bearing period, more sensitive to 
wet and extremes of temperature than the dwarf varieties 
and should not be planted as early. Set in rows about 
4 feet apart, preferably running north and south, allow¬ 
ing about 3 feet between the poles in the row. Plant 6 
to 8 inches around each pole and thin to 3 or 4 plants. 
GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. Pods long, broad, thick and 
fleshy; borne in clusters, creamy white in golden yel¬ 
low; of best quality. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 
lbs. or over, 24c per lb. 
"KENTUCKY WONDER WAX." This Pole Bean is quite 
similar to the very popular green-podded Kentucky 
Wonder, except that the very long pods are a little 
broader, and of a waxy golden yellow. These are very 
attractive, fleshy, stringless and not surpassed in quali¬ 
ty. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs. or over, 
24c per lb. 
Beans, Poie or Running, 
Green Podded Sorts 
Don't Forget—Stimugerm for Beans 
KENTUCKY WONDER OR OLD HOMESTEAD. Pods are 
borne in large clusters, are of unusual length, nearly 
round, silvery green; when young, crisp, entirely string¬ 
less, of fine texture and flavor. Vine bears early and is 
very productive. Used only as a string Bean. Pkt., 1 5c; 
lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs. or over, 20c per lb. 
SCARLET RUNNER. Largely grown as an ornamental 
climber; its rapid growth and early production of daz¬ 
zling flowers make it a favorite for covering screens, 
walls, etc. It is also of excellent edible qualities, but 
rarely grown for that purpose. Pkt., 15c; lb., 35c; 2 
lbs., 65c; 10 lbs. or over, 27c per lb. 
WORCESTER MAMMOTH HORTICULTURAL. This va¬ 
riety, while similar in general character to the Horti¬ 
cultural Pole, is much superior in several ways. The 
Beans, though closely resembling those of the common 
strain, are much larger. Its strikingly handsome pod 
combined with its great size are both features of ex¬ 
cellence which recommend it. Added to these excellent 
qualities are those of thrifty, vigorous growth of vine 
and great productiveness, all making it a variety espe¬ 
cially desirable to the market garden. It easily brings 
a higher price in the market than any other, and is not 
excelled by any other sort for the home garden. Pkt., 
15c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs. or over, 24c per lb.
