large size and appealing flavor. The pods, which are produced in clusters, each contain 
4 or 5 large, fat beans of exceptionally fine quality.

POLE LIMA OR BUTTER BEANS 
CULTURE—Lima Beans are not as hardy as Snap Beans and should not be planted before the ground 
is warm and frost is over. For the tall varieties, set 6- to 8-foot poles firmly in the center of the 
hills 3 feet apart in 4-foot rows before the seeds are planted. Cover the beans 1% inches deep; culti- 
vate only when the vines are dry. One pound of the large seeded varieties plants about 70 hills; 60 
pounds to the acre. One pound of the small seeded varieties plants about 150 hills; 30 pounds to the 
acre, 
78—CAROLINA SIEVA OR SMALL LIMA—(77 days)—Grown extensively in the South 
where it is known as “Butter Bean.” The plants are vigorous, productive, and bear very 
early. A continuous bearer, furnishing the most tender and delicious beans, and is very 
drouth resistant. The most popular pole butter bean for the South.

is more certain to set pods under adverse conditions and bears profusely all through the 
season. It is more resistant to drouth than any other lima bean. The beans are medium 
size, beautifully blotched dark red, which is not apparent in the early green stage. A very 
desirable green and dried bean.

tion to the large lima bean family. Vigorous and productive.
