POLE LIMA BEANS 
Pole Lima Beans greatly outyield the bush varieties per square foot of garden space. They mature 
somewhat later. Set the poles 4 ft. apart each way and place 6 to 8 seeds around each pole with the 
eyes down, covering with 2 in. of fine soil. Later thin to 2 or 3 plants to a pole. Do not plant until 
the ground is thoroughly warm, about the middle of May in the vicinity of Philadelphia. One pkt. 
will plant 10 poles; 1 lb. for 50 poles; 35 lbs. for one acre. Small plantings may be made along a 
fence or trellis, putting several beans 1 ft. apart, later thinning to one strong plant; such plantings 
would require 1 lb. to about 50 ft. of row. All Lima Beans prefer a warm, sandy loam soil enriched 
with well-rotted stable manure; wait until soil is warm and weather settled before planting. 
105 Burpee’s Best Pole LimaO 
92 days. The Fordhook among the pole limas. Burpee’s Best has been 
making friends rapidly since its introduction in 1934, and we believe that it 
has only begun its march toward popularity. You know Fordhook Bush? 
Then just imagine a pole bean with all the good characteristics of Fordhook 
—its thick seed, straight, smooth pod, its rich tenderness, but with larger 
pods, and three or four times as many on each plant. 
Burpee’s Best will climb ten to twelve feet under average conditions, and 
produce pods along its entire length 
in clusters of 4 to 8. The pods are 
straight, 5 to 6 in. long, in. 
broad, and nearly one inch thick. 
Burpee’s Best represents a marked 
improvement over Challenger Pole, 
and we suggest it to those who have 
been growing this older variety.
