BUSH LIMA BEANS 
Lima Beans are a tender vegetable and the seed must not planted until the nights have 
become quite warm. The middle of Ma,y is usually safe in the vicinity of Philadelphia. Bush 
Limas are good yielders, maturing in from 65 to 78 days, according to the variety. Plant in 
a warm, well-drained, sandy loam. Plant the seeds edgewise, eye down, 5 in. apart in rows 
to 3 ft. apart, and cover 2 in. deep with fine soil. Later thin to stand 15 to 18 in. apart 
in the rows. One pound will sow 150 ft. of row. Keep the soil well cultivated, and pick the 
pods as soon as the beans have reached edible size.

Genuine Baby Fordhook 
The Baby Fordhook, which is just what we have been waiting 
for. To give an idea of the size of the beans themselves—the 
Fordhooks listed on this page are so large that 22 seeds 
will weigh one ounce. The McCrea is so small tliat it 
takes 70 seeds to weigh one ounce. While the seed itself is 
small, the plant is nearly as large as the original Ford¬ 
hook. Plants are stocky, erect, dark green, of medium 
season, and a heavy yielder of pods which are rather 
thick, slightly curved and contain from 3 to 5 plump 
green beans of true Potato type. Although the pods 
are small, the unusually delicious flavor of this 
Baby Lima has already made it a popular favorite 
with home gardeners and canners. Pkt. 10^;

A wonderful improvement over the 
original Burpee Bush Lima—larger 
pods, bigger beans, greater yield, 
and fully 8 days earlier. The pods 
are enormous, borne profusely in 
clusters of from 5 to 8, and crowded 
with four or five appetizing beans. 
Burpee's Improved Bush Lima is 
the largest podded and most prolific 
of the Bush Limas. Tlie pods are 5 
to 6 in. long; 1X" in. wide. Even 
when fully matured, the beans are 
of luscious flavor. The plants make 
a uniform, vigorous, upright growth, 
with heavy foliage. The blossom¬ 
bearing stalks are thrown well out 
from the foliage; plants grow 30 in. 
high and 24 in. across the top. Beans 
mature in about 75 days.
