BUSH LIMA BEANS 
Limas continue in bearing most of the 
season, and it is not necessary to make 
succession sowings of them. It is, though, 
a good idea to sow, both at one time, 
an early (as the Henderson) and one of 
the other later bush or pole sorts. Direc- 
tions on the how-to-grow are sent with 
the seeds. Limas are usually used in the 
green-shell stage, but any not so needed 
may be allowed to ripen for dry use later. 
37 FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA — Perhaps 
the most widely used of Bush Limas,. It 
is an enormous bearer of thick wide 
beans that stay green until nearly ripe. 
Flavor is rich and nutty, texture dry, 
mealy, just what most folks seem to like. 
A long bearer. Pkt. 10c; % lb. 30c; 1 Jb. 
50c; 3 Ib. $1.40. 
38 HENDERSON BUSH LIMA—FEarliest 
of our varieties, shortest time from plant- 
ing to picking. Pods and seeds are small- 
er than in the others; but plants are so 
prolific that total yield by weight is 
probably fully as heavy. Flavor is de- 
licious, sweet, rich, buttery. A good sort 
for canning or freezing, and dual purpose 
in that it is good either in green-shell or 
dry-shell stages. Pkt. 10c; 1% lb. 25c; 1 
Ipee4bes wom lb oleh. 
41 RED WONDER BUSH LIMA—(Red Jackson Wonder). 
Early, and rather like the Henderson, but seeds have much 
the deep coloring of the Red Kidney Bean, and much the 
same rich nutty flavor that is supposed to be linked with 
that coloring. Pkt. 10c; 1% Ib. 30e. 
53 SUPERGREEN BUSH LIMA—A Baby Lima of the 
Henderson type, the beans with intensified green coloring 
that they retain until nearly ripe. This characteristic is 
considered particularly desirable when used for canning or 
freezing. Heavy yielder. Pkt. 15c; % lb. 30ce. 
39 BURPEE IMPROVED BUSH LIMA—Largest seeds and 
pods of any Bush Lima we offer. Quality excellent, dis- 
tinctive flavor and texture, quite unlike the others. Pkt. 
10G5 44s 1b.) 2b¢ 521" Ib, 45e¢: -8: Ib. $1.25. 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
They need support, but will give somewhat larger yield 
per unit of space than will the Bush. The Bush sorts start 
bearing a bit earlier, though, and you need at least a 
small planting of them to begin the season. 
57 POLE LIMA CHALLENGER IMPROVED — In the 
Climbing Limas this takes the place of Fordhook among the 
Bush, same thick seed, same rich, dry-nutty flavor, table 
quality of the highest. Big pods. A tremendous yielder. 
Pkt. 15¢; 1%4 Ib. 30c; 1 Ib. 50c; 8 Ib. $1.40. 
40 POLE LIMA KING OF THE GARDEN—Big pods here, 
and very large flat seeds. Eating quality excellent; yield 
high. A long favorite of proved merit. Pkt. 10c; %4 Ib.

FOR DRY BEANS 
Be sure to grow these if you can possibly make room for 
them. They will give you a valuable food reserve that 
you can keep without canning. Served hot from the oven, 
what can be better on a cold day than home-baked beans, 
the nutty, mealy dryness of them contrasting with their 
brown-crisped pork, served with potatoes (peeled ones of 
course) that have been baked in the same dish, the sweet 
tartness of fried apple-rings as a side offering. 
52 BEAN ROBUST PEA—A heavy-yielding, high quality 
small white soup or baking bean, to be used dry. This is an 
improved disease-resistant strain. Pkt. 1@c; 1% Ib. 20c; 1 
Ib. 35c; 8 Ibs. for $1.00. 
54 RED KIDNEY BEAN—Notable for rich flavor. A fav- 
orite shell bean for use either green or dry. Pkt. 10c; 1 Ib. 
40c; 3 lbs. for $1.10.

18 DWARF HORTICULTURAL —Used asa 
a snap when young, stringless then, and 
excellent quality. A bit farther along it 
makes a fine green-shell bean and _ still 
- later the ripe seeds are splendid for bak- 
ing. Pods splashed carmine. Pkt. 10c; % 
Ib. 25c; 1 Ib. 45c. 
55 SOY BEAN SELECTED TABLE VA- 
RIETY—An early strain of Edible Soy, 
erect plants 24 inches high. A _ heavy 
yielder, thriving even in hot, dry positions. 
Will produce greater food weight of high- 
er nutritional value than will other beans 
to same area. Our leaflet ‘‘Use of the 
Garden,” sent on request, gives a lot of 
interesting information about garden cul- 
tivation of Soys, and how to make best 
use of them. Pkt. 10c; % Ib. 25c; 1 Ib. 
45c; 3 lbs. $1.25. 
56 WINDSOR BROAD —A distinct type 
of bean, Vicia Faba, much used in Eng- 
land. The beans, carried on upright 
plants, are Lima size, but wedge-shaped. 
They are used just as one would Limas; 
flavor is midway between that of Lima 
and that of the Pea. Like the Pea they 
must be planted early, altogether a cool 
weather crop. They will even resist con- 
siderable frost, as much. as will the Pea. 
Make one early sowing only. Pkt. 10c; % 
Ib. 30c; 
1 Ib. 50c. 





To see your neighbor weeding before breakfast is not 
proof that he is a garden-lover. Sometimes it only 
indicates a strong-willed wife.

BEETS FOR THE TABLE 
Pulled young from your garden, you can be sure of hav- 
ing them always tender, rich-flavored, sugar-sweet, quick 
to cook, delicious when served. Three things are important 
with Beets; quick growing, quick using after pulling, and 
frequent succession sowings so that you will always have 
young ones coming on. Use the thinnings for greens. 
62 EARLY FLAT EGYPTIAN—Earliest, valued for 
pulling. Sweet, tender, flesh somewhat zoned. Pkt. 
1 .oz. 25c. 
60 IMPROVED BLOOD TURNIP—An old favorite, with 
good reason. Deep, round roots, smooth, blood-red, flavor 
rich, honey-sweet. A quick grower, lending itself well to 
succession sowings. Tender tops, good for greens. A de- 
pendable kind. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; %4 Ib. 75c. 
64 EARLY WONDER—Smooth roots of semi-globe shape, 
dark red without, bright red within. Comes on quickly, 
and runs very even. Fine canner or buncher. Tops small. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; % Ib. 85c. 
61 DETROIT DARK RED—Even globes of richest dark red, 
inside and out. Tender, fine-grained sweet. Exceedingly 
popular for canning, but definitely an all-purpose Beet. 
None better. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 90c. 
63 WINTER KEEPER—A slow Beet of deep shape, for late 
autumn and winter use. It is sweet, tender, quick-cooking 
next 
first 
10c; 
when other sorts are far past their prime. Good winter 
keeper. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; %4 Ib. 75e. 
70 SWISS CHARD LUCULLUS—Still the best variety. 
Pkt. 10c: 1 oz. 25c; 44h. 75c. 
STOCK BEETS 
Kinds grown chiefly for stock feed, for poultry and dairy 
cows particularly, but pulled young, they make excellent 
table greens, too. Thin well, giving each plant ample 
space. 
81 MANGEL WURZEL MAMMOTH RED—A tremendous 
yielder of enormous roots that grow partly above ground. 
Every poultry raiser, every dairyman, should have them. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; %4 lb. 65c; 1 Ib. $2.20. 
83 SUGAR BEET KLEIN WANZLEBEN—Large white 
roots, very heavy in sugar content. Pkt. 10¢; 1 oz. 25¢; % 
Ib. 70c.
