POLE LIMA BEANS POLE Rice ee h hs are grown in hills three feet 
: apart, in rows four feet apart, but being very tender, the E ARLY 
as. seeds should not be planted until the ground has warmed

ei 85 LEVIATHAN Henderson s) The Earliest Pole Lima Bean Grown 9 
s Many growers prefer the pole varieties of Limas. These are later than the bush sorts, and in some 
~~ localities there is difficulty in maturingthe crop. In Northern States, or where by reason of continued 
oe cool nights the growth is less rapid, Leviathan will be found admirably adapted. 
‘ he The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any other sort. It is fully a week 
mi « 
earlier than any other pole variety, therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be 
caught by frosts of early autumn. It is a prodigious cropper, producing its pods in large clusters, 
well filled with large, fleshy Beans, pale green in color, of a rich, buttery flavor.

Py. ; The vine does not differ materially from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies 
‘ ; is in the size of the pods, which hang in wonderful prof usion on the vines. The average yield is greater 
‘ than in any other variety. 
a Though a little later than our early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties 
a= and continues to produce enormous crops until frost.

in hills. 
93 GIANT WAX (See Color Plate, Page 6) 
ae _ Truly a Giant. Bears Pods 8 to 10 in. Long 
el Aes Since its introduction in 1932, Giant Wax has won many admirers. It is a show bean par excellence, 
= as it develops beautiful, unblemished, flat pods 8 to 10 inches long and clear amber yellow in color. 
The plant is vigorous, tall and very resistant to disease. The giant pods are produced in abundance 
; over a long period. Notwithstanding its large size, the bean is of fine texture, free from string in 
the young stages, very brittle and tender. As an exhibition bean it excels all others.

96 OLD HOMESTEAD or Kentucky Wonder 
This most popular, green-podded snap Pole Bean is a marvel of continued productiveness and is 
- ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First pickings may be made in the 
- _ latitude of New York early in July, and the vine will continue to produce in abundance until frost. 
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be gathered by 
the handful; they are very large, 6 to 8 inches in length, stringless, plump, meltingly tender and of 
superb flavor.
