Fordhook U$242—All-Americoa 
Bronze Medal Winner, 1945 
LIMA BEANS 
Trials have proven to us that Lima Beans have pro- 
duced the largest crops when planted more thickly 
than customary. Rows 24 inches apart with the seed 
2 inches apart in the row gave the best results. 
Always set the beans eye down, 1 inch deep and not 
until the ground is fully warm. Don’t brush against 
bean foliage when it is wet.

* Fordhook US242. All-America Bronze Medal Win- 
ner, 1945. Nearly straight pods, uniform in size and 
shape, filled to overflowing with three and four very 
plump Beans of the highest quality. The large, vig- 
orous plants are better yielders, especially for early 
picking than the old Fordhook and hold their fine 
form and size throughout the whole season. We have 
discontinued the old Fordhook as this new variety is so 
much better in every way.

* Henderson Bush. The “Baby” Lima Bean. Both 
pods and Beans are small but are produced in large 
quantities. Continuous bearers. A small patch will 
keep a family supplied with delicious Limas all season. 
The quality is very good.

Early Market. All-America Bronze Medal Winner. 
Earliest large-podded Bush Lima. Developed by the 
U. S. D. A. at Beltsville, Md., and a great improvement 
on Burpee’s Bush Lima. It matures a week before 
Fordhook, bears quantities of fresh green colored pods 
containing 3 to 4 large, flattened Beans of top quality 
and flavor. This is a mighty good Bean for either gar- 
den or market.

ameteur and professional grower. It has very high 
quality, is entirely stringless, and the seeds are white. 
Broad Long Pod BEANS 
DELICIOUS GREEN SHELL BEAN 
Also called Fava and Horse Bean. Grown for green 
shell Beans, which are large, broad and flat, some- 
what resembling Limas, and should be used in the 
same way. Flavor is like Peas. Plant grows very large 
and erect. The pods are 9 to 10 inches long, 1% 
incnes wide and generally hold six Beans. Plant the 
seed as early as possible, for it takes 100 days to 
mature, and they will not thrive in midsummer heat. 
A package will make a row about 15 feet long; 1% Ib. 
will sow 50 feet.

POLE BEANS 
One of our customers had very good luck by 
planting a row of Russian Giant Sunflower in hills 
about 2 feet apart and growing Kentucky Pole 
Beans on them. Both can be planted together, as 
the Sunflower will keep ahead of the Beans. 
* Kentucky Wonder cr Old Homestead. The 
best early green-podded Pole Bean for home or 
market garden. Vigorous and productive. Pods 9 
to 10 inches long, of fine quality, very fleshy, 
saddle-backed and stringless when young. Ma- 
tures in 63 days. The seed is brown.

* Kentucky Wonder Wax. The best Pole Wax 
Bean for northern planting. Similar in habit of 
growth to Kentucky Wonder Green Pod and bears 
as early, or when as high as the average Bush 
Bean. Pods are golden yellow, deliciously flavored 
and so fleshy that often the thickness surpasses 
the width. 
Pkg. 15c; > Ib. 40c; Ib. 70c; 5 Ibs. $2.85 
* POLE LIMA, King of the Garden. We think 
that this is the best Pole Lima; heavily productive, 
bearing straight pods 6 inches long, containing 4 
to 5 large, thick, flat white Beans of very excellent 
quality. Pkg. 15c; Y Ib. 35c; Ib. 65c; 5 Ibs. $2.65 
Scarlet Runner. Bears large sprays of brilliant 
scarlet flowers and is valuable not only for orna- 
mental purposes but for its food value as well. 
The 8-inch pods are very good to eat when young. 
Pkg. 15c; 1% Ib. 40c; Ib. 70c 


For much stronger, healthier plants and a much 
higher yield, treat your Lima Bean seed with Sper- 
gon. (See page 63.) Two ounces will treat just 
about all the Pea, Lima Bean, Squash, Cucumber 
and Melon seed normally used in a home garden.
