This bean is highly esteemed in Europe, and is 
known there as the Broad Bean. It differs from 
American types of beans in that it should be» 
planted early, We plant them here in Michigan 
as soon in the spring as the ground becomes work- 
able,.sometimes in March. Plants are hardy and 
not sensitive to cold. 
rost-Proof Bean or Lima Pea 
The plant is a bush of upright growth, about 
2% feet high, with strong, sturdy stalks. Pods 
54% inches: long and 1% 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. Pkt., 10ce; % 
pt., 30c; pt., 50c; qt., 90c; 2 qts., $1.65, post- 
paid. By express, not prepaid, 5 Ilbs., $1.60; 
10 Ibs., $3.00. 
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 some- 
times being called the Lima Pea. 
Chinese Salad Bean 
Chinese Bean Sprouts Are an 
All-the-Year-Around Salad 
A delicious bean that is used for bean-sprouts 
and 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 
sprouts in the winter as well as in the summer.

Since the introduction of the vegetable type of soy beans, 
we have been trying the different varieties, and can recom- 
mend Bansei as the best variety. The beans are delicious 
when eaten green or dry, and are superior to navy beans 
for baking. The food value is very high.. Approximately 
40 per cent of the dry soybean weight is protein, which is 

iron, and calcium content about 60% greater than cow’s 
milk. They are also an excellent source of Vitamins A, B, 
and G. Bansei is one of the earliest (matures in 96 days), 
highly drought-resistant, not susceptible to-attacks from 
the Mexican bean beetle, and is very productive in nearly 
all sections of the country. Seed is bright green while 


























about twice the protein content of lima beans and about young and yellow when mature. Plants grow 24 inches in 
: four times that of eggs. Superior to spinach in available height and require no support.
