Pencil Pod Black Wax 
This old favorite is still tops. 
Lima beans seem to bear best on fairly heavy soils that are not too 
rich. To get the best stands, delay planting until the soil is warm and 
the bean maggot season is past (about June 10th here). Plant in rows 
3 ft. apart and thin to stand 8 to 12 in. apart. Giving the plants plenty 
of room in the row results in better yields. 
26 FORDHOOK U.S. 242. The Best Bush Lima. The 
finest and most popular lima 
bean in the country for both market and home use. It has entirely 
replaced the old Fordhook under almost all conditions, sets big crops 
even in hot dry weather and has proved a great boon to all lima bean 
growers. 
The plants are large and vigorous—only a few rows in the garden 
will give an ample supply for the average family. The pods set 
heavily early in the season and continue right through till frost. Good- 
sized, uniform and well-filled, they shell out plump, thick beans of 
the finest quality. The flavor is delicious and they are not only ex- 
cellent to eat fresh but also the best for canning and freezing. We 
recommend this strain most highly.

long and are tightly filled with 3 or 4 thick delicious little beans. The

35 IDEAL POLE LIMA. Mi Best Mammoth-Podded Pole 
ean. Pole Lima Beans are of better 
quality than the bush kinds he ripen only about a week later. They 
are ideal for home gardens as they yield more in small space. Plant 
them to grow up poles 7 or more feet long, using 5 or 6 seeds around 
each pole and later thinning to three of the strongest plants. A pound 
of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Ideal is so superior that we do not sell any other kind of pole lima. 
The pods are immense, often 7 inches long containing usually 6 large 
flat beans of the very finest quality. The vines are very vigorous and 
prolific and a few hills will give plenty of these delicious tender beans 
right up until frost.
