Frost-Proof Bean or Lima Pea 
This bean is highly esteemed in Eurone. and is known 
there as the Broad Bean. It differs from American types of 
beans in tiiat it should be planted early. We plant them 
here in Michigan as soon in the spring as the ground be¬ 
comes workable, sometimes in March. Plants are hardy and 
not sensitive to cold. 
The beans are as large as the largest Lima Bean, and nearly 
the same shape. Botanically, it belongs to the bean family, 
but the flavor is more like that of the pea, which accounts 
for it sometimes being called the Lima Pea. 
The plant is a bush of upright growth, about 2% feet high, 
with strong, sturdy stalks. Pods 51/2 inches long and 114 
inches wide, flat and straight. Each holds 3 to 4 mammoth 
size beans. It is wonderfully productive. 
The Frost Proof Bean, or Lima Pea, is used like the Lima 
Bean, and is delicious either cooked fresh or as a winter 
shell bean.

This wonderful cliestnut-flavored 
bean is one of the most delicious 
grown. Grows in the form of a tall 
bus h, and completely covered with 
pods, For soup and turkey stuffing 
it cannot be surpassed. I’optdar in 
Spain, where it is known as the "Gar- 
banzo.”

served in chop suey and .salads in the finest Oriental 
Cafes. Chinese Bean Sprouts are an all-the-year- 
around salad. Enough for a good .sized family can 
be grown in a small dish or pan in the kitchen in 
only 5 days. You can have these fresh sj)routs in 
tlie winter as well as in tlie summer. This bean also 
is unexcelled for .soups.
