DWARF OR BUSH LIMA BEANS 
1 Ib. to 100 ft. row. 60 lbs. to acre 
Henderson Bush Lima. This early flat pod lima is the most satisfactory variety to grow 
in districts which have about the same climate as Kansas City. It is two weeks earlier 
than any other variety. They resemble the Burpee’s in flavor and shape, but are only - 
about one-third as large. As dry beans are known as Baby Lima. 65 days. : 
Burpee’s Bush. The old standard Bush Lima Bean. The bushes are 18 to 20 inches 
high, of stout, erect growth; branch freely and are very prolific. The pods are well 
filled with large, fleshy beans of excellent quality. Delicate pale green in color and 
possessing that rich, buttery flavor. 75 days. 
Fordhook Bush Lima Bean—A stiff, strong grower and very heavy cropper. The pods 
are produced in clusters. Four to six days earlier than others. Bean is tender, sweet 
and juicy, either green or dry. The beans are so closely packed in the pods that the end 
of each bean becomes flattened. 75 days. : 
Jackson Wonder. A:prolific variety very popular in the South. Flourishes in dry weath- 
er. Plants grow 20 in. to 2 ft. high. Blooms early and continues to bear until frost. 
Excellent for summer use or as a winter shell bean. Pods flat, seeds small, flat, buff 
mottled with purple. 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
Florida Butter, Speckled Pole Lima. Blooms and bears profusely all through the season, 
being able to endure seasonal conditions which would ruin other varieties. Small 
beans of good quality either in green or dry state. Small seeds buff mottled with 
brown. 77 days. : 
Small Carolina, or Sieva Lima. This is a small type of the Pole Limas. It matures quick- 
ly, produces immense crops, and makes an excellent bean for winter use. 78 days. 
King of the Garden Lima. Vines very vigorous and productive. Pods medium dark 
green, very large, five to six inches long, broad, flat, filled with four or five im- 
mense white beans of finest quality. On account of its large pods, it is a favorite with 
market gardeners. It will come into bearing earlier and make larger pods if not more 
than two vines are left to grow on a pole. Seed very large, ovoid, flat, white, with slight 
greenish tint. 88 days. 

Pole or Cornfield Beans 
1 lb. to 100 hills. 30 lbs. to acre 
Yard Long. A good table bean as well as a curiosity. It is very prolific and a rank grow- 
er. Should have ample arbor to climb upon. It should be grown more extensively in 
the home garden. It is of Chinese origin and one of the best vegetables emanating from 
that source. It is also absolutely rust-proof. 
Kentucky Wonder. Also known as Old Homestead. We believe this variety is the most 
practically useful of the green podded, pole beans suitable for use as snaps. It is an 
early. very prolific sort with showy pods which are of most excellent quality. The vines 
are vigorous, climbing well and very productive, bearing 
pods in large clusters. The pods are medium light green, 
very long, often reaching 9 or 10 inches, nearly round and 
very crisp when young, becoming very irregular as the 
beans ripen. 65 days. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax. This remarkable vigorous grow- 
ing, wax podded pole bean is very similar to the green 
podded Kentucky Wonder, but the very long pods are a 
little broader, very fleshy and quite stringless as snaps. 
The mature pods are often 8 to 9 inches in length. Seed 
medium size, flattened, very irregular, dark brown. The 
seed even from the most matured crops is usually some- 
what shriveled in appearance. Its earliness and hardiness 
commend it as a pole bean, well adapted even for northern 
latitude. 67 days. 
Lazy Wife. The pods are produced in great abundance 
and measure from 6 to 8 inches in length; they are 
broad, thick, very fleshy and entirely stringless. The pods 
retain their rich, tender and stringless qualities until 
nearly ripe, and are unsurpassed in all stages. Each pod 
contains from 6 to 8 round, white beans, which makes ex- 
cellent winter shell beans. 74 days. 
Scarlet Runner. Ornamental and useful. The vine is grace- 
ful; flowers are of a brilliant scarlet, and the beans are 
of an excellent quality. 78 days. 
White Creaseback. A fine early, green podded pole bean of 
rapid growth and very productive. The pods grow in 
clusters and are from 5 to 6 inches in length, perfectly 
round and deeply creased. They are very fleshy, string- 
less and of the best quality. The beans are white and are 
excellent shelled for winter use. 62 days. 
Speckled Cut Short, or Corn Hill. An old variety, very pop- 


ular in the Central and Southern states for planting 
among corn. It will give a good crop without the use of 
poles. Vines medium sized, but vigorous, twining loosely 
with dark colored leaves. Pods short, 3 to 4 inches in 
length, flat to oval, fleshy and of good quality. 75 days. 
Missouri Wonder. A late variety with 5-inch flat curved 
pod, color medium green. Meaty, stringy, good quality. 
Long bearing and very productive. Seed grayish mottled 
with light brown. 68 days.
