35 Bansei 96 days for use as green shelled beans. One of the most productive and 
will produce crops in nearly any section of the country. The plants 
are erect, bush-like and literally loaded with pods, each containing 2 or 3 oval-shaped, 
bright green beans which are delicious cooked as green shelled beans. When fully ma- 
tured, the dried beans are yellow and may be cooked similarly to lima beans. Suitable 
for freezing. High in proteins and vitamins. Pods are short, fuzzy, not edible, and borne 
high in the plants which are rigid, upright and grow 2 to 2% ft. tall. Immune to prac- 
tically all diseases and insects which commonly attack garden beans. Stands heat and 
drought and will even do well on poor soil. For use as green beans, use seeds as soon as 
they are fully formed. A pkt. will plant 25 ft. of row; 1 Ib. 150 ft.

GIANT BUTTER or FAVA BEAN 
Mammoth pods with 5 to 7 lima-like beans 
85 days. Giant Butter or Fava are the well-known Broad Beans, 
24 Long Pod much hardier than other beans and should be planted as early in 
the spring as the ground can be worked; they will not thrive in summer heat. Plants are 
large and erect, true bush form, and heavy yielders. Pods are glossy green, 7 in. long, and 
contain 5 to 7 large, oblong-shaped, flat, light green beans, which are valuable for use as 
green shell beans. The pods are not edible; the large beans somewhat resemble lima 
beans and should be used in the same way, either cooked fresh or as a winter shell bean. 
Flavor is somewhat like that of the pea. Becoming very popular, especially in large city 
hotels and restaurants. Dry seed is large, circular, flat, reddish brown with black eye.

Maturity Dates 
The average number of days required 
from the time the seed is sown until vege- 
tables are ready for use is given with each 
variety. Where plants must first be grown, 
such as Celery, Cabbage, Peppers, Toma- 
toes, etc., the number of days to maturity 
is from the time plants are set in the gar- 
den. Of course, the time is average, having 
been obtained over a period of years in 
our trial grounds under different condi- 
tions; some variation is to be expected, de- 
pending on the season, locality and time of 
sowing. The approximate maturity dates 
given will show the relative time when 
different varieties will be ready to use.

are matured. The bushes are then cut, allowed to dry, and the
