Dwar Wax and Butter Beans 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. The Best Round Podded Wax Bean. This is our 
favorite wax bean and is by far the most popular 
round pod wax kind both for home use and market. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, straight and 
as round as a pencil. They are early, clear yellow, very brittle, stringless and of the finest 
quality. The plant is vigorous and productive. The seed is black.

SURE CROP WAX. The Best Flat-Podded Wax. For an abundance of fine wax beans, grow

Lima Reaus—Dwarf or Bush 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. Sow about 60 lbs. per acre. 
Bush Limas are more easily raised than the pole varieties but do not yield as much. These beans seem to bear 
better on heavy soil than on sand and the land should not be too rich. Do not plant these beans until the soil 
is warm as the seed is apt to rot. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and drop two or three seeds in a place 12 to 18 inches 
apart. When the young plants put out the first true leaves, thin to one plant to a place. 
Warning: In order to get the best yields give the plants plenty of room in the row. (12 to 18 inches per plant.) 
FORDHOOK The Best Dwarf Lima. A few rows of these beans will give an ample supply for the average 
~ family. These are the earliest of the large podded dwarf limas and are universally considered 
the best kind both for home garden and market, particularly where a thick or “potato” lima is wanted. 
The pods are of good size and filled with three to four plump thick beans. The beans are light green in color 
and of superior quality. The vines grow upright and are extremely vigorous and productive. 
It is important to plant only first class seed. We have it. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7144 Lbs. $2.25 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.30; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $11.40. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima. ‘“‘Baby”’ Limas. Very early and prolific. The pods are not large but are produced 
early and in great abundance on upstanding vines. This is one of the most dependable bearers known. They have 
a delightful quality and are preferred by many people. Ours is a true even stock. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 714 Lbs. $2.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.85; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $9.60. 
BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. This strain of Burpee’s Bush Lima has beans of larger size and deeper green 
than the old strain. They are larger, more flattened than Fordhook and later in maturing. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 714 Lbs. $2.15 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.15; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $10.80. 
Ideal or Mammoth Podded Pole Lima Beans 
A pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Pole Limas require some support for the vines. Poles 6 to 7 feet long answer very well, but if not available a neat 
and cheap trellis can be made by placing a strong post at each end of the row and running a strong wire at top and 
bottom. Strings are then run from one wire to the other without tying or cutting, thus forming a support for the 
vines. The wire should be drawn tight and the end posts braced in some way. Plant 2 to 3 seeds in a place about a 
foot apart and thin to a single plant when large enough. 
IDEAL is so superior that we do not sell any other kind of pole limas. The pods are immense, often 7 inches long 
containing usually 6 large flat beans of the very finest quality. On our own farm we always plant an extra lot of 
these for our own use. The vines are very vigorous, productive, and prolific and the beans are ready only about 
one week later than the bush limas. With pole limas it is possible to have an abundance of fine limas in a 
comparatively small space. 
IDEAL LIMA. Pkt. 10c; 14 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 714 Lbs. $2.25 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. 
$3.30; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $11.40. 
“T wish to say that in 40 years of experience as an amateur and professional gardener, your seeds are the best 
Ideal Lima T have ever had.’ Chas. Cook, Melvin Village, N. H. Mar. 16, 1940.
