Bountiful Beans 
BUSH LIMA BEANS—Continued. 
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima. (75 days.) Fine flavored; big, broad 
meaty beans. It is an enormous yielder, bearing in close clusters as 
many as eleven pods, containing three, four and five beans. The beans 
are much larger and nearly twice as thick as the old Burpee’s Bush, 
and mature a week earlier. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 1bs., $2.09. 
HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA (‘“‘Baby’”’ Limas). (65 days.) Small beans 
but very tender and of exquisitely rich, buttery, lima flavor, whether 
used green or dried for winter. Popular for canning. 
Pkt., 10c; 1% Ib., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 Ibs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.75. 
Pole or Corn Beans 
A pkt. will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills; 1 1b. 100 hills; 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
Plant after danger of frost, in a warm, fertile and well drained, mel- 
low soil. Drop 3 to 5 seeds, 1% inches deep per hill, 2 to 3 feet apart in 
the row and 8 to 4 feet between rows. Use 8- to 9-foot poles set 2 to 3 
feet in the ground. Where seed is dropped 4 inches apart in 4- to 5-foot 
rows, trellis may be built with well-braced end poles. Shallow planting 
in a well-drained soil is advised to overcome soil-borne organisms, which 
are frequentiy responsible for a poor stand. Pole beans may be planted 
with carn. 
Logan Giant. (55 days.) There is no bean of its class that we have 
grown that is as tender and as fine quality. Many of our customers 
consider it the best pole bean that they have ever grown. The pods, 
produced in clusters and in great abundance, are light green, 6-7 inches 
long, broad, round and slightly curved. From ten days to two weeks 
earlier than Kentucky Wonder. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 1b., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 5 1bs., $2.00. 
Kentucky Wonder. (Old Homestead.) (65 days.) Continues to bear 
throughout the season, if the pods are picked as they mature. The 
pods are 9 to 10 inches long, very deeply creased, meaty, stringless 
when young and of the finest quality. 
Pkt., 10c; 1% Ib., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 1bs., $2.00. 
LAZY WIFE. (74 days.) Broad, thick, fleshy green pods, entirely string- 
less. Pods average 6 inches and are borne in great abundance, The 
white beans may be used as soup beans if allowed to dry in the pods. 
Pkt., 10c; 144 lb., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 lbs., $2.00. 
King Horticultural. (63 days.) An improvement on London Horticul- 
tural or Speckled Cranberry; has larger beans and pods, matures 
earlier. The pods are round, thick, 7 inches long, becoming splashed 
with carmine at green shell stage, entirely stringless, fine quality. 
Pkt., 10c; 144 1hb., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 1lbs., $2.00. 
HOLMES’ BUTTER BEAN. They ripen earlier than the lima bean. The 
pods hang in clusters, and they are much thicker through than the 
lima. More delicious than the lima. We want every gardener to give 
these beans a trial and be convinced that they are all we represent 
them to be. 
Fkt., 10c; 144 lb., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 lbs., $2.00. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax. (68 days.) Heavily productive. Early. Pods 
are waxy yellow, 8 inches long, perfectly stringless, fleshy, brittle and 
tender.

Pole Lima Beans 
Holmes’ Green Prolific Lima. (85 days.) Introduced by H. L. 
Holmes. The most productive pole lima bean. Grows green, stays 
green. We find the bean is far more productive than any other pole 
lima. The large pods hang in clusters of from 5 to 8, which makes 
them easy to gather, each having 5 to 6 beans in a pod. 
Pkt., 10c; 4% Ib., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 lbs., $2.00. 
KING OF THE GARDEN. (88 days.) This variety produces large, flat 
pods of good quality, containing 5 or 6 large beans. Very prolific. 
Pkt., 10c; 1% lb., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 lbs., $2.00. 
Bansei Edible Soy Beans

low in starch. They are easily cooked and cf an agreeable flavor. They 
are being canned and quick frozen and are appreciated by housewives.

bush lima beans. Bean beetles do not like them. They are recommended 
highly by physicians as a food for diabetics or for those wishing to 
reduce excess weight. The earliest and best for northern districts.
