KENTUCKY WONDER—65 days. (Green podded) Home garden 
variety. An old favorite pole bean for home gardens. May be 
used fresh or canned, also recommended for quick freezing. 
Pods 8 inches long, thick oval to round, curved and somewhat 
constricted between beans. 
KENTUCKY WONDER—68 days. (Wax podded) Home garden 
variety. Good selection for those who wish a wax pole variety.

LIMA BEANS 
HENDERSON—65 days. Home garden, canning, and freezing 
variety. Small seeded variety which can be grown in areas of 
short growing season. Pods 3 inches, flat, medium green. 
CANGREEN — 68 days. Home garden, canning, and freezing 
variety. Similar to Henderson, but seeds are green instead of 
white in mature stage. Much more attractive for freezing 
where a small seeded variety is used. 
EARLY MARKET—71 days. Market garden variety. Seed large, 
somewhat flatter than Fordhook types. Plant compact, with 
early set of pods. Pods 4 inches long, straight, dark green. 
FORDHOOK — 75 days. Market garden and freezing variety. 
Excellent either fresh or frozen. Pods 4-4 inches, almost 
straight, thick, dark green pod. Seed large, green. 
FORDHOOK 242—75 days. Home garden, market garden, and 
freezing variety. Highly recommended for home garden use 
where large limas can be grown, and for market use in most 
of G.L.F. territory. Pods similar to regular Fordhook, but 
more uniformly curved and with thinner pod wall. This va- 
riety was developed to put on an early, heavy set of pods; in 
addition, it will withstand adverse weather conditions, par- 
ticularly drought, better than will Fordhook. 
BURPEE IMPROVED—75 days. Home garden variety. Good for 
fresh use or for freezing. Pods 5 inches long, fairly straight. 
Beans large, slightly flattened.
