great abundance, are a rich, dark green color, measur- 
ing about 10 inches long, rather flat and_ slightly 
curved. Fine for use as a snap sort, being entirely 
stringless when young. If pods are picked before 
maturing, vines bear till frost. If pods are allowed 
to mature, they produce a good sized white bean for 
winter use.

34 OHIO WAX FOLE. (67 days.) Pods usually 7 
inches long, solidly meaty and entirely stringless; 
commences to bear when scarcely higher than bush 
variety, and keeps on producing until killed by frost.

LIMA BEANS—DWAREF or BUSH 
Culture. All Lima Beans are tender and the ground 
should be dry and the weather warm and settled before 
planting. They do best in good light soil, and if not rich, 
an application of sheep manure or other good fertilizer 
will be well repaid. Plant in drills, 1% to 2 feet apart, 
dropping the beans 4 to 5 inches apart and covering about 
2 inches deep. Cultivate often until they commence to 
flower, but only when the leaves are dry. 
A pound of seed will plant about 150 feet of row; 
about 60 pounds per acre. For succession make two 
plantings four weeks apart. 
35 BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. (75 
days.) Pods and beans are both larger and thicker than 
Burpee’s Bush Lima, and somewhat earlier. Plant 
is a vigorous grower with heavy foliage. Even when 
of full size the enormous beans are most luscious. 
Pkt., 20c; 14 1lb., 40c; 1 Ib., 70c; 5 1bs., $3.25. 
36 FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. F. (75 days.) A very 
vigorous and erect growing variety, bearing its pods 
well above the ground in large clusters. Pods are 
medium green, about 5 inches long and contain 4 to 5 
large, thick Beans of exceptionally fine quality. We 
consider this one of the best of the large-seeded kinds. 
Pkt., 20c; % Ib., 35c; 1 1b., 65c; 5 lbs., $3.00. 
37 FORDHOOX No. 242. F. (75 days.) Developed 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Plant as tail 
as regular Fordhook but with greater spreading habit. 
Pods slightly curved, with thinner walls than Ford- 
hook, containing three or four light green beans of 
the fine't type. Produces well under high temperatures. 
Pkt., 20c; 14 lb., 40c; 1 Ib., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50. 
38 HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA. F. (65 days.) An 
exceedingly productive variety of dwarf habit. Com- 
mences bearing very early and continues to grow and 
set pods until stopped by frost. The vines are with- 
out runners, somewhat dwarf, very productive. Beans 
small, white and of most excellent quality either for 
green shelling or as dry beans,

39 JACKSON WONDER or CALICO BUSH 
LIMA (65 days.) Also known as Florida Speckled 
Bush Butter Bean. This bean originated in the South 
where many gardeners prefer it to all other kinds, 
claiming that the flavor is superior, that it is the best 
bearer of them all, and that in dry seasons it is prac- 
tically drought proof. About 2 feet high and carry 
quite a load of pods that contain 3 to 4 beans each. 
It begins bearing early and continues until killed by 
frost.

Culture. These are to be treated like other Pole Beans excepting they should be planted one or two weeks later. 
Where soil is very stiff, it is best to plant the Beans with the eye downward, as they will come up more rapidly.

similar in pod and seed to Fordhook Bush Lima. Plant
