Frost-Proof Bean 
or Lima Pea 

Six Frost Proof Beans laid beside a 6-inch ruler to 
show the size of the dry beans. 
This bean is highly esteemed in Europe, and is known there as 
the Broad Bean. It differs from American types of beans in that 
it should be planted early. We plant them here in Michigan as 
soon in the spring as the ground becomes workable, sometimes in 
March. Plants are hardy and not sensitive to cold. 
The beans are as large as the largest Lima Bean, and nearly 
the same shape. Botanically, it belongs to the bean family, but 
the flavor is more like that of the pea, which accounts for it some- 
times being called the Lima Pea, 
The plant is a bush of upright growth, about 214 feet high, with 
strong, sturdy stalks, Pods 5% inches long and 1% inches wide, 
flat and straight. Each holds 3 to 4 mammoth size beans. It is 
wonderfully productive. 
The Frost Proof Bean, or Lima Pea, is used like the Lima 
Bean, and is delicious either cooked fresh or as a winter shell 
bean. Pkt., 15c; % pt., 25c; pt., 40c; qt., 75c, postpaid. By ex- 
press, not prepaid, 5 Ilbs., $1.65; 10 Ibs., $3.20.

EDIBLE SOY BEAN BANSEI 
Better Than Limas as Green Shelled Beans 
Since the introduction of the vegetable type of 
soy beans, we have been trying the different varie- 
ties, and can recommend Bansei as the best va- 
riety. The beans are delicious when eaten green 
or dry, and are superior to navy beans for baking. 
The food value is very high; the starch content 
low. About four times the protein content of eggs, 
and twice the protein and twelve times the fat of 
navy beans. Superior to spinach in available iron, 
and calcium content about 60% greater than cow’s 
milk. They are also an excellent source of Vita- 
mins A, B, and G. Bansei is one of the earliest 
(matures in 96 days), and is very productive in 
nearly all sections of the country. Resistant to 
drought, disease and insects. Raise them as a 
hedge against. bugs and dry weather. Seed is 
bright green while young and yellow when mature. 
Plants grow 24 inches in height and require no 
support.
