Frost-Proof Bean or Lima Pea 

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. 
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.

_ EDIBLE SOY BEAN BANSE! 
Since thé 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; the starch con- 
tent low. About four times the protein content of eggs, 
and. twice the protein and twelve times the fat of navy 
beans. Superior to spinach in available 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), and is very pro- 
ductive in nearly all sections of the country. Resistant to 
_ drought, disease and insects. Raise them as a hedge against 
bugs and dry weather. Seed is bright green while young 
and yellow when mature. Plants grow 24 inches in height 
and require no support. 

POLE OR CLIMBING BEANS 
One pint of seed for 100 poles : 
BURGESS’ EVERBEARING (Everbearing Kentucky Won- 
der). The finest flavored snap bean grown. The green 
pods, seven to ten inches long, are so fleshy they are often 
greater in thickness than width. They are solid, meaty and 
very crisp. They commence bearing exceedingly early for 
a pole or climbing sort, and if pods are gathered as they 
mature the vines will continue to bear until killed by the- 
fall frosts. 
WHITE-SEEDED KENTUCKY WONDER (Burger’s 
One-of the most desirable of the pole beans. 
It combines attractive appearance with productiveness, and 
for quality it is unsurpassed. Straight, round, silvery- 
green pods, 6 to 8 inches long, fleshy, entirely stringless, 
fiberless, and tender. The beans, being white, are also fine 
for winter use. ‘ = 
KENTUCKY WONDER WAX. An ideal pole wax bean 
for all localities. Similar in habit of growth to the green 
podded Kentucky Wonder, and bears as early, or when 
about as high as the average bush bean. The pods are so 
fleshy that often the thickness surpasses the width. Of 
most delicious quality, a heavy yielder and bears a long 
season, es
