Ideal Lima 
long, stringless and of the choicest quality. In our 

Bush Lima Beans 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of row, fees 
a packet 20 feet. Sow about 60 lbs. per acre. Fordhook Bush Lima Beans 
Bush Limas are more easily raised than the pole varieties but do not yield as much. These beans seem to bear 
better on heavy soil than on sand and the land should not be too rich. Do not plant these beans until the soil 
is warm as the seed is apt to rot. Plant in rows 3 feet apart and drop two or three seeds in a place 12 to 18 inches 
apart. When the young plants put out the first true leaves, thin to one plant to a place. 
Warning: In order to get the best yields give the plants plenty of room in the row. (12 to 18 inches per plant.) 
FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. The Best Dwarf Lima Bean. A few rows of these beans will give an ample 
- supply for the average family. These are the earliest of the large podded dwarf limas and are 
universally considered the best kind both for home garden and market, particularly where a thick or “potato” 
lima is wanted. 
The pods are of good size and filled with three to four plump thick beans. The beans are light green in color 
and of superior quality. The vines grow upright and are extremely vigorous and productive. 
It is important to plant only first class seed. We have it.

HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA or Baby Limas. Very early and prolific. The pods are rather small and the beans 
are the popular “‘baby lima”’ size. They have a delightful quality and are preferred by many people. The vines 
grow upright and bear heavy crops of pods under almost any conditions. This is one of the most dependable 
bearers known.

BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. These beans are larger than Fordhook but have somewhat flatter seed. 
Pods are large and contain 4 to 5 beans of attractive appearance and fine quality. They are ready a few days later 
than Fordhook and are highly recommended where a larger, flatter bean is wanted.

Pole Lima Beans 
A pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Pole Limas require some support for the vines and many people find that rough poles 7 or more feet long answer 
very well. These are sunk 114 to 2 feet in the ground and are spaced 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Plant 5 or 6 seeds 
around each pole and later thin to three of the strongest plants. : 
A neat and cheap trellis can also be made by placing a strong post at each end of the row and running a strong 
fence wire at top and bottom. Strings are then run from one wire to the other without tying or cutting, thus forming 
a support for the vines. The wire should be drawn tight and the end posts braced in some way. Plant 2 to 3 seeds 
in a place about a foot apart and thin to a single plant when large enough. 
IDEAL THE BEST MAMMOTH PODDED POLE BEAN. This variety is so superior that we do not sell 
~ any other kind of pole lima. The pods are immense, often 7 inches long containing usually 6 large flat 
beans of the very finest quality. On our own farm we always plant an extra lot of these for our own use. The vines 
are very vigorous, productive, and prolific and the beans are ready only about one week later than the bush limas. 
With pole limas it is possible to have an abundance of fine limas in a comparatively small space.

Edille Soy Beans 
A pound of seed will sow about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. 


The edible soy bean has become increasingly popular in this country, because of its high vitamin content and also 
because it is very high in protein and fat. They are the easiest bean to grow and yield enormous crops. The beans 
may be eaten in the green stage when cooked and served similar to lima beans, and also are well liked dry and roast- 
ed in much the same manner as nuts. 
Sow in rows 3 feet apart, dropping about 6 seeds per foot of row. The plants do not require support. 
BANSEI This variety ripens early and is the best for northern sections; it is adapted to a wide range of growing 
* conditions. The seed is small and round and of yellow color. The plants grow about two feet high.
