The vine is very vigorous and productive. Pods are large, but thin, and can be more 
easily opened than those of other varieties. The green beans are very large, handsome

of the green beans, this variety is superior, and is now recognized as one of the best 
for either the garden or market.. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c., postpaid; by freight

Ford’s Mammoth Podded Pole 
Lima Bean 
This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years’ selection by 
the late Jas. Ford, who was one of the oldest market gardeners 
around Philadelphia. The pods grow to an average length of 8 inches, 
are produced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per 
pod, of most excellent quality for using either green or dry. The 
vines grow vigorously, setting the beans early at the bottom of the 
pole, and continue in bearing right up to frost. Ford’s Mam¬ 
moth Podded is, without exception, the largest podded, finest 
flavored and most productive of all Lima Beans. Pkt.
