Pole Lima Beans are easily grown in any rich, well-drained garden soil. While they mature somewhat San Oo 
later than bush lima beans, they greatly outyicid them per square foot of garden space. Vines should be = <a 
given support, the most frequently used being rough poles, 7 ft. or more tall, sunk 1% to 2 ft. deep in } 
the ground and spaced 3 to 4 ft. apart each way. Sow seeds when soil has become warm; put 6 to 8 VS. y;, 
seeds (eyes down) around each pole, cover with 2 in. of fine soil and firm to assist germination. When ZY) 
plants are well started, thin so that 3 or 4 of the strongest remain to a pole. One pkt. will plant 10 poles; 
1 Ib. for 50 poles; 35 lbs. for one acre. Small plantings may be made along a fence or trellis, putting ie EASES

106 Burpee’s Improved Giant Podded 
90 days. The largest podded of all pole limas. The pods are truly enormous, 7 to 8 in. 
long, 1% to 2 in. wide, with five and sometimes six extra large, flat, green beans of the 
most delicious flavor. Vines are vigorous growing; attain a height of 10 to 12 ft.and 
freely produce their pods in clusters of 4 to 8 from the bottom to the top of the poles. 
Pickings may be made continuously from midsummer until vines are killed by frost. 
A marked improvement over Giant Podded. Carefully selected for uniformity, length 
of pod and productiveness. We can recommend it highly for both home and 
market use especially to growers having a local trade. The immense size 
of the pods and the beans always commands highest prices. 
Seed crop ts very short. Pkt. 15¢; 1% lb. 30¢.

105 Burpee’s Best Pole Limao 
The best thick or ‘‘potato’’ pole linia bean 
92 days. The Fordhook among the pole limas. Burpee’s Best has been 
making friends rapidly since its introduction in 1934, and we believe that 
it has only begun its march toward popularity. You know Fordhook 
Bush? Then just imagine a pole bean with all the good characteristics 
of Fordhook—its thick seed, straight, smooth pod, its rich tenderness, 
but with larger pods, and three or four times as many on each of 
the vigorous plants which are strong growing, natural climbers. 
Burpee’s Best will climb 10 to 12 ft. under average condi- 
tions, and produce pods in clusters of 4 to 8 along its entire 
length. The pods are straight, 5 to 6 in. long, 1% in. 
broad, and nearly one inch through, well filled with 
4 or 5 and sometimes 6 big, thick, plump beans of 
delicious flavor. Burpee’s Best represents a 
marked improvement over Challenger Pole, 
or any other pole lima of the “potato” 
type, and we suggest growing it in its 
place. Seed crop ts short, a
