Large seeded Varieties:

¥% |b. will sow 35 ft. row 
200 Ibs. will plant 1 acre 
(% this amount of seed is required if small seeded limas are used) 
Lima beans in most sections are a gamble. Some years they yield heavy crops while other years the yield 
is very disappointing. This seems to be governed by the weather at time of blossoming. Fordhook 242 has 
yielded better for us than either Fordhook or Burpees; Baby Potato has also given us good crops. 
The lima 
is larger than other bean seed and requires more moisture to start germination and get it through the ground. 
While it is not necessary to place each bean with the eye down, we suggest that you see that the seed is placed 
in close contact with moist soil.

POLE BEANS 
Vitamins B G 
A woven wire fence makes an ideal support for pole 
beans, or you can use poles. Another way is to set 
posts at each end of the row; between them run a wire 
4 to 5 ft. above the ground and another just above the 
row. Stout string run up and down between the wires 
will act as a support for the beans. If rows are long, 
additional posts may be required. 
Many find that Early Leviathan Limas, blossoming 
over a longer period, yield much better than the bush 
limas. 
Kentucky Wonder is probably the best known of any 
pole snap bean but we like Scotia better. It produces a 
smoother, straighter pod and holds in edible condition 
longer.

Kentucky Wonder is a strong climber and a fine quality bean. 
Barbara Enos is here ready to tell you all the advantages of pole 
snap beans—they are easier to pick, yield over a longer period, and 
most people think that they are better quality than the bush type. 
A little more work but we believe you will find that it pays.

corn from you for my kitchen garden. Your strain was so fine that 
I have never ventured to try any other.”
