POLEJLIMAS 
THE FLAVOR OF ALL THE POLE LIMAS IS SUPERIOR TO BUSH LIMAS. Probably Originally 
a Native of Peru or Brazil. Two Pounds Will Plant 100 Yards; Thirty Pounds Will Plant an 
Acre. Seed breaks ground in 7 days. One inch high in 9 days under most favorable 
circumstances in greenhouse 
Carolina or Sewee—80 Days. Named after the 
river in South Carolina. A small early variety of 
Limas, much more used in the South than elsewhere, 
as a Butter Bean, more vigorous in growth and more 
prolific than the ordinary Jersey Limas. Very small 
foliage, short pointed leaves, more metallic green 
than the ordinary Lima. Pods, about 3 inches long, 
borne in clusters, averaging 3 or 4 small white beans. 
Similar to Dwarf Sewee, Henderson’s Bush or Baby. 
Challenger, Dreer’s or Fordhook Pole—89 Days. 
Beans very full or plump, larger foliage than Jersey 
Lima, pods not so long as the King of the Garden; 
nor so early; the original parent of the Fordhook 
Bush, meaty and good flavor. Pods about 4 inches 
long, containing about 3 or 4 beans which are 
similar but not as plump as the Fordhook Bush Lima. 
Florida Butter Speckled Pole—77 Days. Plant 
similar to Carolina. Borne in clusters. Seed small, 
buff spotted with reddish-brown. Usually three 
beans in a pod. 
King of the Garden—84 Days. One of the best 
and most productive Pole Limas, large leaved, good 
climber. Vine of a branching habit, pods about 
4^ to 54 inches long, dark, large and containing 
about 3 or 4 beans to the pod. Seed flat, and white 
with a slight green tinge. 
LANDRETHS’ LARGE GREEN SEEDED—84 
Days. Seed of a decided green tinge, not bleached 
ivory-white. This green seeded selection is similar 
to the Jersey Lima of years ago which has never 
been excelled. The best form of Jersey Limas on 
the market, for both private and market gardeners, 
unsurpassed in flavor, of superior quality, averaging 
4 or 5 beans to the pod, which is 4^ to inches long. 
All Landreths’ beans are cleaned, handpicked and 
polished with the greatest care.
