BEANS 
Climbing French or 
Runner Beans 
BROAD BEANS 
HOW TO GROW —Sow in the spring anJ early summer, in rows 4 ft. 
to 6ft. apart. When two or three Indies above the surface, stakes 
eight feet high should be provided for them. They will not stand 
frost. A packet will sow from twenty to thirty feet. 
These climbing beans are of great value to the man with small 
garden space. They can be grown up pillars made of stout stakes, 
on wire netting or strings; and for covering the garden fence with 
“something useful” they have no equal, provided some wire netting 
or other support is furnished for the tendrils to cling to.

Yates’ Marled 
Wonder is the most 
prolific and finest 
flavoured of the 
Climbing Beans; 
very early; long, 
round , fleshy , 
stringless pods. 
Considering that we yearly grow large quantities of 
Peas and Beans for export to seedsmen in overseas 
countries, we are in an excellent position to quote for 
larger quantities than are mentioned in this book, and 
will be pleased to hear from anyone who is wanting same. 
LIMA BEANS 
HOW TO GROW— Plant in the late spring when the ground 
is warm, and treat as other Beans. These are only suitable 
for warm climates, and should not be planted quite 30 early 
in the* spring as the Kidney Beans. They may be used like 
Broad Beans, shelled from the green pods, or they can be 
allowed to ripen and can be cooked similar to the dry 
Haricots, to which they are much superior. 
BUSH LIMA 
The seeds of this variety approximate in size to the Tall 
• Lima, but it does not require sticking. 6d. per pkt., 2/6 
per lb., post free; 2/3 per lb., carriage extra.
