best of all large Limas. This new strain differs from the 
popular Burpee’s Bush Lima in bearing uniformly much 
larger pods, producing more beans, while both pods and 
beans are much larger and thicker. While the beans are 
as large as those of the large Lima, the crop of the Im- 
proved is ready for gathering from 8 to 10 days earlier. 
In quality the beans are equal to any, being thin-skinned, 
juicy and of fine flavor. Pkt., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85¢;

Pole Beans require considerable care. They are, when properly 
grown, of long bearing period, more sensitive to wet and ex- 
tremes of temperature than the dwarf varieties and should not 
be planted as early. Set in rows about 4 feet apart, preferably 
running north and south, allowing about 3 feet between the poles 
in the row. Plant 6 to 8 beans around each pole and thin to 
_3 to 4 plants.
