FRENCH HORTICULTURAL Special Strain. From one plant in 1928, selected 
- because it had the best yield, color and longest pods, 
to many acres grown for seed in 1936 is the story of our strain of French Horticultural. We do not 
hesitate to state that we consider this the finest strain of French Horticulutral bean which we have 
ever seen and we have seen many stocks in our trial grounds and growers’ fields. The pods are 
6 to 8 inches long, straight and heavily splashed with bright red which gives them a very striking 
and attractive appearance. They grow in great profusion on the strong sturdy vines.

Lima Beans —Dwarf or Bush 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. Sow about 60 lbs. per acre. 
Bush Limas are more easily raised than the pole varieties but do not yield as much. These beans 
seem to bear bet ter on heavy clay soil than on sand. The land should not be too rich. Do not plant 
these beans until the soil is warm and dry as the seed is apt to rot. Plant the seed in rows 3 feet 
apart and drop two or three in a place a foot to 18 inches apart. When the young plants put out the 
first true leaves thin to one plant to a place. 
FORDHOOK The Best Dwarf Lima. These are the earliest of 
- ' the large podded dwarf limas and are universally 
considered the best kind both for home garden and market, particularly 
where a thick or “potato” lima is wanted. 
The pods are of good size and filled with four to five plump thick 
beans. The beans are light green in color and of fine quality. The 
vines grow upright and are extremely vigorous and productive. 
Pkt. 15c; 34 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 734 Lbs. $2.15 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.15; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.80. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima. Very early and prolific. The pods are not 
large but are produced in great abundance on upstanding vines and is 
one of the most dependable bearers grown. These “Baby Limas” have 
a delightful quality and are preferred by many people. True stock. 
Pkt. 15c; 34 Lb. 25c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 734 Lbs. $1.85 transportation

BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. This strain of Burpee’s Bush 
Lima has beans of larger size and deeper green than the old strain. 
Vines are more true to the bush form. 
Pkt. 15c; 34 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 734 Lbs. $2.10 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.00; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.20. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima, WONDER STRAIN. The beans are large, flat 
and of fine quality. This is one of the earliest large podded bush Limas. 
Pkt. 15c; 34 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 734 Lbs. $2.00 transportation

Pole Lima Beans 
.4 pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Pole Limas require some support for the vines to 
climb on. Poles 6 to 7 feet long answer very well, 
but if not available a neat and cheap trellis can be 
made by placing a strong post at each end of the 
row and running a strong fence wire at top and 
bottom. Strings are then run from one wire to the 
other without tying or cutting, thus forming a sup¬ 
port for the vines. The wire should be drawn tight 
and the end posts braced in some way. Plant 2 to 3 
seeds in a place about a foot apart. 
IDEAL Mammoth Podded Pole Lima. We 
-' find this so much better that we have 
discontinued listing any other kind of pole limas. 
The pods are immense, often 7 inches long and 
contain 6 large beans of the very finest quality. In 
fact, this variety is so superior in quality and 
yield to any other lima, that you should plan to 
plant as much as you possibly have room for. On 
our own farm we always plant an extra lot of 
these in the trials. The vines are very vigorous 
and prolific and the beans mature only about one 
week later than the bush limas. 
Pkt. 15c; 34 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 734 Lbs. 
$2.15 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. 
$3.15; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.80. 
Ideal Lima Beans growing on a trellis in our trial grounds. 
A much shorter row than this will produce an abundance of lima beans for your table.
