yielder, bearing in close clusters as many as 11 pods, containing 3, 4 and 
5 Beans. The Beans are much larger and nearly twice as thick as the 
old Burpee’s Bush, and mature a week earlier.

Pole or Corn Beans 
A pkt. will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills; I 1b. 100 hills; 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
Plant after danger of frost, in a warm, fertile and well-drained, mellow 
soil. Drop 3 to 5 seeds, 11% inches deep per hill, 2 to 3 feet apart in the 
row and 3 to 4 feet between rows. Use 8- to 9-foot poles set 2 to 3 inches 
in the ground. Where seed is dropped 4 inches apart in 4- to 5-foot rows, 
trellis may be built with well-braced end poles. Shallow planting in a well- 
drained soil is advised to overcome soil-borne organisms, frequently re+ 
sponsible for a poor stand. Pole Beans may be planted with Corn.

tender and as fine quality. Many of our customers consider it the best 
pole Bean that they have ever grown. The pods, produced in clusters 
and in great abundance, are light green, 6-7 inches long, broad, round, 
slightly curved. 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than Kentucky Wonder.

son, if the pods are picked as they mature. Pods are 9 to 10 inches long, 
very deeply creased, meaty, stringless when young and of finest quality.

(70 days.) They ripen earlier than the Lima Bean. The pods hang in 
clusters, and they are much thicker through than the Lima. More deli- 
cious than the Lima. We want every gardener to give these Beans a trial 
and be convinced that they are al! we represent them to be.

(85 days.) The most productive pole Lima Bean. Grows green, stavs 
green. We find this Bean is far more productive than any other pole 
Lima. The large pods hang in clusters of from 5 to 8, which makes them 
easy to gather, each having 5 to 6 Beans in a pod. .

For Health and Food. This differs radically from the field sorts, are 
high in vitamins but low in starch. They are easily cooked and of an 
agreeable flavor. They are being canned and quick frozen and are 
appreciated by housewives. Resistant to disease as well as insects and 
drought. Culture similar to bush Lima Beans. Bean beetles do not like 
them. They are recommended highly by physicians as a food for dia- 
betics or for those wishing to reduce excess weight. The earliest and 
best for northern districts. Pods pale green turning to greenish yellow.
