Longreen Beans 
Pole Lima 
Sow 1 quart of seed to 100 poles 
Cutrure. These require poles 8 to 10 feet 
long. The Beans should be planted in May 
if the season is suitable. Set poles 4 feet apart 
each way, and plant 4 to 6 Beans, about 
1 inch deep, around each pole. Thin out to 
three plants to a pole. Lima Beans for early 
use may be grown in pots in frames and 
transplanted. About 90 days. Soil C. 
Carpinteria. Bears an abundance of large 
pods filled with plump, thin-skinned, ten- 
der, fine-flavored Beans. 
Dreer’s Improved Challenger or Potato 
Lima. Beans round and thick, of delicious 
flavor, easy to shell. Immense cropper. 
Early Leviathan. The earliest large Pole 
Lima. Very productive. 
King of the Garden. Vigorous grower, 
bearing large pods, 5 to 8 inches long. 
Beans large and of rich flavor. 
GIANT-PODDED. The largest of all Pole 
Limas. Pods are from 7 to 814 inches in 
length with a width of 1% to nearly 2 
inches. The Beans are extra large and in- 
variably of superb flavor. Vines easily at- 
tain a height of from 10 to 12 feet. The 
pods are produced in clusters of from 4 to 8 
until killed by frost. 
Sieva or Small White Lima. Butter Bean. 
Early and productive, a great drought 
resister, smaller than regular Limas, but 
juicy and of fine flavor. 
Edible Soy Bean 
Plant May 15, using Nitragin—a 10c pack- 
age is enough for several quarts of seed. 
Use the Beans in their green state; pour 
boiling water over them, then drain off and 
they shell very readily. If dry Beans are 
wanted, let them stand until the leaves drop. 
Soil C. 
Bansei. This variety has produced excel- 
lent crops in different sections of the 
country. Green or dry, the Beans are de- 
licious, and an excellent source of vitamins 
A, B and G. The plants grow 24 inches 
high, and are covered with pods. They do 
not require support. Beans are ready for 
use from 100 to 110 days from sowing.
