Pole or Cornfield Beans—Continued 
26 BED SPECKLED CUT-SHORT or COBB 
HH. il. A very popular variety, especially for plant¬ 
ing among corn. It will give a good crop without 
the use of poles. The vines are not as heavy as Ken¬ 
tucky Wonder, being medium size, vigorous, twining 
loosely, with dark colored leaves. Pods are 3 to 3% 
inches long, straight, flat, fleshy and of good quality. 
As they mature the pods become light yellow tinged 
with red, the beans showing distinctly through the 
pods.

27 HOBTICULTUBAL POLE or SPECKLED 
CRANBERRY. A very popular variety for general 
purposes, either as a late green shelled bean or for 
snaps. The pods are of medium length, 4% to 5 
inches long, broad; when young pale green, gradu¬ 
ally changing to yellowish green striped or splashed 
with red. Vines are moderately vigorous, with large 
light colored leaves. Can be grown on corn or on 
short poles. As shelled beans they equal Limas in 
flavor and are excellent to use as dry beans for 
boiling or baking.

28 WHITE CBEASEBACH. An extremely early 
variety, which produces nearly all its pods at the 
same time. The vines are medium size and vigorous, 
and in rich soil wonderfully productive, bearing 
round, fleshy pods in clusters of from 4 to 12, which 
makes it extremely easy to gather. Pods are about 
6 inches long, comparatively straight, attractive, 
light green, very fleshy, with a crease down the 
center.

29 SCOTIA or STBIPED CBEASEBACH. A har¬ 
dy and very productive green-podded cornfield bean. 
The vines are sturdy and of good climbing habit with 
small-medium deep green leaves. The pods are long, 
about 6 inches, very cylindrical or completely round¬ 
ed, distinctly crease-backed, very fleshy and of ex¬ 
cellent quality. The color, when in condition for use 
as snaps, is light, silvery green, becoming tinged 
with purple as the pods mature. This variety is espe¬ 
cially suitable for growing in corn for snaps.

dance, are a rich, dark green color, measuring about 
10 inches long, rather flat and slightly curved. Fine 
for use as a snap sort, being entirely stringless when 
young. If pods are picked before maturing, vines 
bear till frost. If pods are allowed to mature, they 
produce a good sized white bean for winter use.

Lima Beans—Dwarf or Bush 
These are preferred in small gardens, as they can be 
grown like Dwarf Beans, and without the use of poles. 
They are not quite so prolific as the Pole Limas, but 
are earlier and continuous bearers throughout the sea¬ 
son. The beans can be gathered much easier than the 
Pole Limas and they can be grown closer together. 
Culture. All Lima Beans are tender and the ground 
should be dry and the weather warm and settled be¬ 
fore planting. They do best in good light soil, and if 
not rich, an application of sheep manure or other good 
fertilizer will be well repaid. Plant in drills, 1% to 
2 feet apart, dropping the beans 4 to 5 inches apart 
and covering about 2 inches deep. Cultivate often un¬ 
til they commence to flower, but only when the leaves 
are dry. 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of 
row. About 60 pounds per acre. For succession, 
make two plantings four weeks apart. Mature in 75 
to 90 days from planting. 
35 BURPEE’S IMPXOVED BUSH LIMA. Pods 
and beans are both larger and thicker than Burpee’s 
Bush Lima, and fully 8 days earlier. Plant is a vig¬ 
orous grower with heavy foliage. Even when of full 
size the enormous beans are most luscious.

36 FOBDHOOK BUSH LIMA. A very vigorous 
and erect growing variety, bearing its pods well 
above the ground in large clusters. Pods are medium 
green, about 5 inches long and contain 4 to 5 large 
thick beans of exceptionally fine quality. We con¬ 
sider this one of the best of the large seeded kinds.

37 BUBFEE’S BUSH LIMA. A bush form of the 
Large White Lima type. Plants are somewhat dwarf 
but very productive. Pods are medium green, broad, 
containing 3 to 4 very large flat beans of the beet 
quality. Seed large, flat, white, with slightly green¬ 
ish tinge.

38 HENDEBSON’S BUSH LIMA. An exceedingly 
productive variety of dwarf habit. Commences bear¬ 
ing very early and continues to grow and set pods 
until stopped by frost. The vines are without run¬ 
ners, somewhat dwarf, very productive. Beans small, 
white and most excellent quality either for green 
shelling or as dry beans.

Pole Lima Beans 
Large seeded sorts require 2 pounds to 100 
poles, % bushel to an acre. Small Limas re¬ 
quire about one-third the quantity. 
Culture. These are to be treated like other Pole 
Beans excepting they should be planted one or two 
weeks later. Where soil is very stiff, it is best to plant 
the beans with the eye downward, as they will come 
up more rapidly. 
41 FORD’S MAMMOTH PODDED. The result of 
20 years’ selection by a market gardener near Phila¬ 
delphia. It far surpasses in size and productiveness 
many other sorts and has become very popular 
throughout all sections. Pods are very large, usual¬ 
ly containing 4 to 6 beans. Vines vigorous, setting 
the Beans early, and very productive.
