BEANS ( Continued from page 139) 
BUSH LIMA—Trivett’s Improved 
BUSH LIMA BEANS 
One pint is equal to about 1 lb. and will sow a row 50 feet long 
Hints on Cultivation —Lima Beans are very susceptible to cold and seeds 
should not be planted until the ground has become thoroughly warm. Being 
gross feeders, they should be sown on well enriched land, with the rows 2 feet 
apart, placing the beans 2 inches apart in the row, eye down, and later thin 
out, leaving the plants about 6 inches apart. The two halves of the Lima 
Bean seed become its seedling leaves and unless the Beans are placed “eye 
down” the young plants find it most difficult to push through the soil. Cover 
about 1 inch deep, not more. A good fertilizer applied at the rate of 20 lbs. 
to every 100 feet of row, when the plants begin to bloom, will materially 
increase the yields. The growing plants should be hilled up a little to keep 
the pods off the ground. 
Trivett’s Improved Bush. {Special Strain.) Very large and 
thicker beans than Burpee’s; abundant cropper and practically rust- 
resistant; the quality is unsurpassed. The plants are upright, healthy growers.

Trivett’s Earliest of All. A valuable variety that produces a crop 
much in advance of the regular Dwarf Lima Beans. The broad pods are pro¬ 
duced in abundance and are filled with large, flat beans of excellent quality. 
Better than the “Sieva” or “Butter Bean” for the South. The plants are of 
upright, vigorous habit and produce clusters of 6 to 8 large pods well above 
the foliage, each containing 4 to 5 large, luscious beans, quite early. 
Pt. {Lb.) 60c. Qt. {2 lbs.) $1.10 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $4.25 
Burpee’s Improved. Good, standard sort; large, white beans, and 
quite prolific. Pt. {Lb.) 40c. Qt. {2 lbs.) 70c. 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $2.50 
Butter Bean. See Henderson’s, or Sieva. 
Pt. {Lb.) 40c. Qt. {2 lbs.) 70c. 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $2.50 
Ford hook. {Special Stock.) Medium size beans but very thick and meaty; 
excellent quality. 
Pt. {Lb.) 45c. Qt. {2 lbs.) 80c. 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $3.00 
Dreer’s Bush. Meaty, thick beans of medium size; good quality. 
Pt. {Lb.) 40c. Qt. ( 2 lbs.) 70c. 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $2.50 
Henderson’s (or Sieva). Small beans of superior cooking quality; very 
prolific, maturing in about 74 days. Also known as “Butter Beans” in the 
South. Pt. {Lb.) 40c. Qt. {2 lbs.) 70c. 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $2.50 
McCrea’s Bush Lima. This variety is of considerable merit. The 
feature that will appeal to most gardeners is the fact that it has a remarkably 
sweet flavor. The plants are strong and upright, carrying an abundance of 
heavy foliage. The light green, short, but very thick pods are equally abundant 
and each pod contains from 3 to 5 large, plump, rich green beans which are so 
tightly packed in the pod that many of them are almost square. Highly 
recommended. Pt. {Lb.) 60c. Qt. {2 lbs.) $1.10 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $4.25 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
One pint is sufficient for about 50 poles 
Pole Limas are even less hardy than the Bush type and should not be planted until toward the end of May or when all danger of frost is past, 
and the soil is warm. Set the poles about 4 feet apart each way and plant 6 to 8 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are 
up, thin out to 3 plants to a pole. Pinch off the ends when plants overrun the top of the poles. 
Trivett’s Giant Podded. The perfect Pole Lima, very large, 
- green tinted beans of excellent cooking qualities; abundant 
and continuous cropper, maturing in about 90 days. 
Pt. {Lb.) 75c. Qt. {2 lbs.) $1.40 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $5.50 
Trivett’s First and Best. The earliest, high quality Pole 
Lima. The vigorous, strong growing vines produce an enormous 
crop of pods which are filled with large, thick, meaty beans of highest 
quality. 
Pt. {Lb.) 75c. Qt. {2 lbs.) $1.40 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $5.50 
Trivett’s Challenger. “Potato Lima.” Medium sized beans, 
but very thick and meaty. 
Pt. CL6.) 55c. Qt. {2 lbs.) $1.00 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $3.75 
King of the Garden. Large seeded, white, standard sort. 
Pt. {Lb.) 50c. Qt. {2 lbs.) 90c. 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $3.50 
Leviathan. The earliest of the Pole Limas; popular sort. 
Pt. {Lb.) 45c. Qt. {2 lbs.) 80c. 4 qts. (8 lbs.) $3.00 
Carolina Small Seeded. {Tall Sieva.) “Butter Bean.” Very 
refined quality, producing small beans, but a heavy cropper; really 
a table delicacy. Ready in 82 days. During wet seasons when most 
Lima Beans succumb to mildew this variety can be depended upon 
to yield a crop.
