Kentucky Wonder 
BEANS (cz Tle Home Garden 
Wax Podded Pole Beans 
1 lb. will plant about 100 hills. 
Pole beans require considerable care. 
They are, when properly grown, of long 
bearing period, more sensitive to wet 
and extremes of temperature than the 
dwarf varieties and should not be plant- 
ed as early. Set in rows about 4 feet 
apart, preferably running north and 
south, allowing about 3 feet between 
the poles in the row. Plant 6 to 8 beans 
around each pole and thin to 3 to 4 
plants. 
xKENTUCKY WONDER WAX. This pole 
bean is quite similar to the very popular 
green-podded Kentucky Wonder, except 
that the very long pods are a little 
broader, and of a waxy golden yellow. 
These are very attractive, fleshy, string- 
less and not surpassed in quality. 
Pkt., 25c; lb., 50c; 2 1b8., 95c; 
10 lbs. or over, 45c per lb. 
Green Podded Pole Beans 
xKENTUCKY WONDER or OLD HOME- 
STEAD. Pods are borne in large clus- 
ters, are of unusual length, nearly round, 
silvery green; when young, crisp, en- 
tirely stringless, of fine texture and fla- 
vor. Vine bears early and is very pro- 
ductive. Used only as a string bean. 
Pkt., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 
10 lbs., or over, 40c per lb. 
SCARLET RUNNER. Largely grown as 
an ornamental climber; its rapid growth 
and early production of dazzling flowers 
make it a favorite for covering screens, 
walls, etc. It is also of excellent edible 
qualities, but rarely grown for that pur- 
pose. Pkt., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 
10 Ibs., or Over, 40c per lb. 
WORCESTER MAMMOTH HORTICUL- 
TURAL. The beans, though closely re- 
sembling those of the common strain, 
are much larger. Its strikingly handsome 
pods combined with its great size are 
both features of excellence which rec- 
ommend it. 
Pkt., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 
10 lbs., or Over, 40c per lb. 
ENGLISH BROAD BEANS 
BROAD WINDSOR. An old-fashioned English shell bean. This bean is very 
hardy; it should be planted as early as the ground will permit, 3 to 4 inches 
deep in rows 3 feet apart, and plants 112 feet apart in row. Dry beans very 
large and yellowish green.

EDIBLE SOY BEANS 
‘FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. 
LIMA BEANS 
Bush Limas 
1 lb. will plant about 50 hills. 
More hardy than the pole varieties and 
therefore may be planted earlier. Make 
rows 2 feet apart and plant the beans, 
eyes down, every 2 inches. Cover about 
2 inches deep. Thin to 6 inches. Note: 
In very wet weather bush lima beans 
will sometimes send out runners about 
2 feet long. 
HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA. A bush 
bean of the Sieva Lima type. Beans 
small but vine is productive and bears 
early. Pkt., 25c; lb., 55c; 2 1bs., $1.05; 
10 lbs. or over, 50c per lb. 
BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. A 
distinct strain. The earliest, largest, and 
the best of all large limas. This new 
strain differs from the popular Burpee’s 
Bush Lima in bearing uniformly much 
larger pods, producing more beans, while 
both pods and beans are much larger 
and thicker. While the beans are as 
large as those of the large lima, the crop 
of the Improved is ready for gathering 
from 8 to 10 days earlier. In quality the 
beans are equal to any, being thin- 
skinned, juicy and of fine flavor. 
Pkt., 25c; lb., 55c; 2 Ibs., $1.05; 
10 Ibs. or over, 50c per 1b. 
One of the 
leading varieties of bush lima beans. The 
plant is of stiffly erect habit, the beans 
are much larger and of superior quality 
and even when full size are juicy-and of 
fine flavor. 
Pkt., 25c; 1b., 55c; 2 lbs., $1.05; 
10 lbs. or Over, 50c per lb. 
Pole Limas 
1 lb. will plant about 100 hills. 
KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. Earlier 
than the large lima, and the pods are 
longer and often contain 5 beans of the 
largest size: The vine is large and of 
remarkably vigorous growth and will 
produce larger pods and bear earlier if 
only two are allowed to grow to the pole. 
Pkt., 25c; Ib., 50c; 2 Ibs., 95c; 
10 lbs. or over, 45c per 1b.

BANSEI. These beans are not only delicious when eaten green or dry, but 
they are also an excellent source of Vitamins A, B, and G. The Bansei variety 
is one of the earliest, and very productive. Plants grow 24 inches high and 
do not require support. They are literally loaded with pods. Seeds are bright 
green while young and yellow when matured.
