Broad Bean 
Frost-Proof 
Survived 24° Temperature 
on Our Michigan Seed Farms 

Six Broad Beans laid beside a 6-inch ruler to show 
the size of the dry beans. 
This bean is highly esteemed in Europe. It differs from American 
types of beans in that it should be planted early. We plant them 
here in Michigan as soon in the spring as the ground becomes 
workable, sometimes in March, Plants are hardy and not sensitive 
to cold. 
The beans are as large as the largest Lima Bean, and nearly 
the: same shape. Botanically, it belongs to the bean family, but 
the flavor is more like that of the pea, which accounts for it some- 
times being called the Lima Pea. 
The plant is a bush of upright growth, about 2% feet high, with 
strong, sturdy stalks. Pods 7 inches long and 1% inches wide, 
flat and straight. Each holds 5 to 7 mammoth size beans. It is 
wonderfully produetive and is delicious cooked either fresh or as 
a winter shell bean. ;
