dependable bearers known. They have a delightful quality and are preferred by many people.

Pale Jlima flea+vi 
A pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Pole Limas require some support for the vines. 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 support 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. The Best Mammoth Podded Pole Lima. This variety is so superior that we do not 
sell any other kind of pole limas. The pods are immense, often 7 inches long containing 6 large 
beans of the very finest quality. Plan to plant as much as you possibly have room for. On our 
own farm we always plant an extra lot of these for our own use. The vines are very vigorous 
and prolific and the beans mature only about one week later than the bush limas.

Fordhook Bush Lima Beans 
Photo about % natural size. These plump beam are 
delicious! 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. Sow about 60 lbs. per acre. 
Tendergreen 
Beans 
Bush Limas are more easily raised than the pole varieties but do not yield as much. These 
beans seem to bear better on heavy clay soil than on sand and the land should not be too rich. 
Do not plant these beans until the soil is warm as the seed is apt to rot. Plant in rows 3 feet 
apart and drop two or three seeds 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. 
Unsurpassed for fine flavor. 
See description on page 5. 
The Best Dwarf Lima. A few rows of these beans will give an ample 
supply for the average family. 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.

FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. A single plant in 1928, 
_- selected because it had the best yield, color and longest 
pods has been increased to many acres grown for seed in 1937. 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. 
There is no question but that this is the best commercial stock of this variety grown and par¬ 
ticular growers tell us it is equal to any of the jealously guarded “private” stocks.
