BEAN, FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA 
- VEGETABLE SEEDS ‘from Ches8,.,, 
We offer here a selected list of vegetable seed which includes all of the most popular and satisfactory varieties avail- 
able. For your convenience, those varieties which we consider the best of their kind are preceded by the name Chase. This 
assures you that each vegetable so listed has proven itself the best variety and strain of each group represented. Since the 
whole list has been carefully built up from many years’ experience in growing vegetable in our own fields, we believe every 
variety to be worth of inclusion in any garden. 
Additional varieties besides those listed here are available in Cauliflower, Carrots, Cabbage and Corn. 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus seed is best soaked for 24 hours before planting. This 
makes germination more rapid and sure. Sow in early spring in rows 
about 18 inches apart, allowing 15 to 20 seeds to the foot, cover- 
ing 2 inches deep. When plants are well established, thin to about 
an inch apart. Hoe frequently during the summer and keep 
growing vigorously. Set in permanent bed the following spring. 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 4 Ibs. per acre. 
Paradise. This new variety has the same rich green color and de- 
liciously mild flavor as Mary Washington. It is very early, also 
resistant to rust and a much heavier yielder. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c. 
Mary Washington. A strain selected from Martha Washington. It 
is a little earlier and more vigorous than the original. The shoots 
are firm, tender and richly flavored. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Mary Washington. 2 year roots (No. 1 size). Prepaid. 
Doz. 50c; 50, $1.35; 100, $2.00. 
BEANS 
Plant beans after all danger of frost is past, in warm, dry, well 
prepared soil. Black seeded varieties can be planted earliest. The 
rows should be 2 to 3 feet apart and the seeds covered 1% to 2 
inches deep. Thin the young plants to 3 to 6 inches apart in the 
rows. Shallow cultivation when no moisture is on the foliage should 
be frequent until blossoming; then stop to avoid injury to the roots. 
Root injury causes the blossoms to fall off. For succession, plant 
every 2 weeks until midsummer. Frequent picking of the crop 
insures long bearing. 
Dwarf Beans: 1 Ib. to 150 ft., 50 to 60 Ibs. per acre. 
Pole Beans: 1 Ib. to 150 ft., 30 to 50 Ibs. per acre.

Chase Improved Stringless Green Pod. Considered the best early 
bush bean. The pods are green, of good length, entirely stringless, 
tender and brittle and remain so until ripe. This brown-seeded 
bean is both early and hardy. One of the richest flavored beans of 
all. A popular market or garden bean and desirable for canning. 
Golden Wax. A new blight resistant strain, splendid for home gar- 
den and canning. Plants are small but productive. Pods are at- 
tractive golden yellow, 42 to 5 inches long, V2 inch wide, fleshy 
and stringless. Seeds white, splashed with purple. 
Pencil Pod Black Wax. Very desirable for home and market garden. 
Large thrifty plants. Heavily productive over a long period. Pods 
handsome bright yellow, 52 to 6 inches long, % inch thick, 
cylindrical; very fleshy, stringless, brittle, fine grained and tender. 
Quality unexcelled. Seeds black. 
25 
Dwarf Horticultural (Cranberry). Particularly desirable green shell 
and snap bean for home and market garden. Plants medium small, 
vigorous, and productive. Pods dark green at snap stage, becoming 
greenish yellow splashed with carmine, 5 to 51/2 inches long, en- 
tirely stringless, but slightly fibrous. Seeds plump, oval. 
POLE BEANS 
Prices, unless otherwise noted: Pkt. 10c; 2 Ib. 25c; 1 Ib. 40c. 
2 Ib. and 1 Ib. not prepaid. 
Chase Blue Lake. This is perhaps the finest quality snap bean for 
canning in the United States. The Eugene district produces several 
hundred tons of the superb Blue Lake and ships them to many dis- 
tant markets after canning. It is a good climber. Vines are heavily 
productive. Pods very fleshy, tender and nearly stringless. For 
home use, canning and fresh market it is unexcelled. 
Chase Delicious Giant. This cross between Oregon Giant and Ken- 
tucky Wonder is a variety twice as productive yet equal in size 
and quality to Oregon Giant. We believe it is the easiest bean of 
all to pick. Pods are produced in clusters of 4 to 6, the stems of 
which protrude outside the foliage. The pods are green, faintly 
striped with red lines which disappear when cooked. 
Kentucky Wonder. This most popular of all pole beans should be in 
every garden. The dark green pods are round and long, measuring 
9 to 10 inches; they are always stringless as snaps, and never be- 
come tough. Seeds light brown colored. 
Oregon Giant Green Pod. We highly recommend this variety to 
home gardeners. It keeps producing until killed by frost. Large, 
fleshy pods, 10 to 12 inches in length, stringless, light greenish 
yellow, splashed with red. A very tasty bean that requires very 
little care. Pkt. 10c; 2 Ib. 30; 1 Ib. 50c. 
LIMA BEANS 
IMPORTANT: Most failures in sprouting Lima Beans result from 
seed rot. When a seed protectant such as ‘’’“SPERGON” is used good 
stands should be the rule rather than the exception. Spergon is 
useful on all other vegetable and flower seed. 
Pkt. 10c; Y2 Ib. 30c; 1 Ib. 50c. 
Chase Improved Bush Lima. Plants large, heavily productive. Pods 
large, 42 to 5 inches long, containing 4 large, thick seeds. Dry 
beans are large, flat, and greenish white. 
Fordhook Lima. Potato Lima type. Plants Jarge, very productive. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima. Sometimes called the Baby Lima or Butter 
Bean. Plant is small, dark green, erect, bushy, and very early. 
Pods flat with small, flat, green seeds of excellent quality. 
Oregon Pole Lima. Proven over many years to be well adapted to our 
cocl Northwest Climate. A strong, vigorous grower, bearing con- 
tinuously until frost. Pods are at their best when turning yellow.
