late maturing variety, bearing medium green 
pods in large clusters. Pods are 5% to 6% 
inches long, broad, thick, fleshy and entirely 
stringless. When young, they have a rich 
flavor which is retained until they are nearly 
ripe. An excellent sort for either snap green, 
shelling, or using as dry beans.

(66 days.) The pods, pro- 
duced in great abundance, are a rich, dark 
green color, measuring about 10 inches long, 
rather flat and slightly curved. Fime for use 
as a snap sort, being entirely stringless when 
young. If pods are picked before maturing, 
vines bear till frost. If pods are allowed to 
mature, they produce a good sized white 
bean for winter use.

inches Jong, solidly meaty and entirely stringless; 
commences to bear when scarcely higher than bush 
variety. and keeps on producing until killed by frost.

LIMA BEANS 
Culture. All Lima Beans are tender and the ground 
should be dry and the weather warm and settled before 
planting. They do best in good light soil, and if not rich, 
an application of sheep manure or other good fertilizer 
will be well repaid. Plant in drills, 1% to 2 feet apart, 
dropping the beans 4 to 5 inches apart and covering about 
2 inches deep. Cultivate often until they commence to 
flower, but only when the leaves are dry. 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of 
row. About 60 pounds per acre. For succession, 
make two plantings four weeks apart. 
35 BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. (75 
days.) Pods and beans are both larger and thicker than 
Burpee’s Bush Lima, and somewhat earlier. Plant 
is a vigorous grower with heavy foliage. Even when 
of full size the enormous beans are most luseious.

36 FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. (75 days.) A very 
vigorous and erect growing variety, bearing its pods 
well above the ground in large clusters. Pods are 
medium green, about 5 inches long and contaim 4 to 5 
large, thick Beans of exceptionally fine quality. We 
consider this one of the best of the large-seeded kinds.

37 FORDHOOK WU. S. 242. (New.) All-America 
Bronze Medal Winner for 1945. This new heavy-yield- 
ing strain is a real improvement over the famous Ford- 
hook Bush Lima. Years of careful breeding by the 
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md., have 
produced a strain that will consistently outyield Ford- 

Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima 
34 GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. (74 days.) One of 
the best wax podded pole snap Beans. Vines large, 
vigorous and hardy. Pods 6 to 8 inches long, borne 
in clusters and vary in-color from golden yellow to 
creamy white.

DWARF or BUSH 
hook under average conditions and will produce much 
better crops in hot dry weather. The plants are 
somewhat larger and more vigorous, and they produce 
a better set of pods on the early pickings. The pods 
are uniform, nearly straight, and well filled with 
three or four plump thick beans of the finest type. 
The dry seeds average slightly smaller and the pods 
are a trifle narrower but otherwise they are identical 
to the best Fordhook. In addition they hold their fine 
uniform size and shape throughout the entire season.

388 HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA. (65 days.) An 
exceedingly productive variety of dwarf habit. Com- 
mences bearing very early and continues to grow and 
set pods until stopped by frost. The vines are with- 
out runners, somewhat dwarf, very productive. Beans 
small, white and of most excellent quality either for 
green shelling or as dry beans.

39 JACKSON WONDER or CALICO BUSH 
LIMA (65 days.) Also known as Florida Speckled 
Bush Butter Bean. This bean originated in the South 
where many gardeners prefer it to all other kinds, 
claiming that the flavor is superior, that it is the best 
bearer of them all, and that in dry seasons it is prac- 
tically drought proof. About 2 feet high and carry 
quite a load of pods that contain 3 to 4 beans each. 
s begins bearing early and continues till killed by 
rost.

MAMMOTH PODDED POLE LIMA BEANS 
Large seeded sorts require 2 pounds to 100 poles, %4 bushel to an acre. 
about one-third the quantity. 
Small Limas require 
Culture. These are to be treated like other Pole Beans excepting they should be planted one or two weeks later. 
Where soil is very stiff, it is best to plant the Beans with the eye downward, as they will come up more rapidly. 
41 McCullough’s Large Pole Lima 
(92 days.) A large seeded potato lima, similar in pod 
and seed to Fordhook Bush Lima. Plant vigorous, 
good climber, very productive. Smooth, straight pods.

these fine Limas can be grown in a eomparatively 
small space.
