HENDERSON BUSH : 68 days, 90 seeds per oz. For 
home garden. Each year gardeners tell us that 
under their conditions it seems impossible to produce 
a satisfactory crop of lima beans of large seeded vari¬ 
eties. Henderson is a bush variety, earlier than the 
larger sorts and blossoms profusely over a much 
longer season. In spite of unfavorable growing con¬ 
ditions usually a good crop is set. Pods 3 to 3^2 inches 
long containing 3 to 4 small beans of excellent 
quality. If you have had trouble with lima beans, we 
suggest you try this variety. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3^ lb.

$13.25. Not prepaid. 1 lb. will sow 50 ft. row. 
FORDHOOK BUSH: 75 days, 22 seeds per oz. Most 
popular bush lima of the potato or thick seeded type

ous and very productive. Pods 4 to 5 inches in

Mr. E. F. Neff of St. Catherines, Ontario writes us “We planted 
your Scotia beans with sweet corn and this made a very good com¬ 
bination; the beans growing up the stalks of corn.” 
On the farm we have always used wire trellises with twine between, 
as shown above, but this year we will try some Scotia beans on 
Golden Cross sweet corn. Have you ever tried it? 
POLE BEANS 
3^ lb. will sow 100 ft. in hills 
SCOTIA: 72 days, 84 seeds per oz. Because of un¬ 
usual quality we raise this variety for our own use 
and feel that, if it were better known, it would replace 
other snap beans for home use and market trade 
where quality counts. 
A few hills along a fence or with some other support 
will produce enough green beans, if kept picked, for 
the average family. The pod is 63^ to 7 inches long, 
green, round and very fleshy. Scotia is ready about 
the time that the bush varieties arc gone Pkt. 10 
cts.; J /2 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $3.45 pre¬

oz. We believe Early Leviathan to be one of the 
best early large seeded pole limas. We have never 
known of a crop failure. Pods 5 to 53T inches long, 
straight and containing 5 to 6 very large fiat beans. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; 3^ lb. 18 cts.; lb. 30 cts.; 15 lbs.

Our gardener "Sam” says it doesn’t make any difference which side up Lima Beans are planted if they are in 
contact_with_moist soil. What do you think about it?
