FORDHOOK 242 BUSH LIMA 
DWARF LIMA BEANS 
Plant when ground is dry and weather is 
warm in rows 2 feet apart, dropping the beans 
6 inches apart in the row, eye down, covering 
with 1 inch of soil. One pound will plant 100 
hills. 
Fordhook Bush Lima No. 242—75 days. This 
strain of Fordhook was developed by the 
U.S.D.A. Its outstanding characteristics 
are its ability to set beans under adverse 
weather conditions. The seed is slightly 
smaller than the old type of Fordhook, but 
the green shell beans are identical, and the 
yield is much heavier. The pods contain 3 to 
4 beans which are thick, meaty and of the 
finest quality. Superb for canning and 
freezing. 
Henderson's Bush Lima—This is the earliest 
variety, being fully two weeks ahead of any 
other sort in maturity. The beans are small 
and very fine for canning. 
Jackson Wonder Bush Limas—It is of true bush 
form, about 2 feet high, bearing greatest 
profusion of broad, flat pods, each having 
from 3 to 5 medium-sized flat, handsomely 
speckled beans, which cook quickly and are 
of superior flavor. 
Early Market (U. S. 142)—This variety is best 
compared to Burpee’s Bush Lima in plant 
structure, type, ete., bearing curved pods of 
about the same size, but producing slightly 
smaller seed. It is a flat seeded type. The 
outstanding features of the Early Market 
Bush, are its very ealry maturity and its 
ability to yield under hot weather conditions. 
Burpee's Bush Lima—The stout, erect bushes 
grow from 18 to 20 inches tall and 2 to 3 feet 
in diameter. A large seeded variety, but a 
shy yielder under adverse weather conditions. 
Heavier total yields of lima beans can be 
obtained when plants are spaced 4 to 6 
inches apart in rows rather than 2 to 3 
inches.

BEETS 
Beets are one of the most healthful of veg- 
etables, containing more elements which the 
human system needs than almost any other. 
Beets grow in moderately light, sandy soil. 
For very early crops, sow in hot-beds and 
transplant the seedlings as soon as the weather 
is warm enough into open ground; for regular 
crop, plant outside as soon as the ground is in 
good condition; plant in drills and cover about 
1 inch deep. When the seedlings are 4 to 5 
inches high, thin them out to stand 4 to 5 
inches apart in the row. An ounce of seed will 
sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds to the acre. 
A eoranicte plant food will increase quality and 
yield. 
Detroit Dark Red—58 days. A very popular 
sort used extensively by market gardeners 
as well as private planters. It matures early, 
and the roots are of splendid shape and good 
color. The tops are small and upright-grow- 
ing, which makes possible close planting. The 
roots are globular and smooth, the skin is 
dark, blood red, the flesh red with lighter 
zones. The beets are very tender, firm and 
crisp, and remain so for a long time. 
Early Blood Turnip—60 days. Coming in at the 
same time as the small, flat Egyptian, it is 
much larger and almost globe-shaped—a 
much better beet for every purpose. It is 
fine-grained, very tender, and of good, sweet 
flavor. The color of the flesh is a rich red, 
tinged with crimson. 
Early Wonder—54 days. A very early dark 
red beet similar to Crosby’s Egyptian. Its 
earliness and deep color make it a favorite 
with the market gardeners. The taproots are 
small and the roots are of a desirable shape 
for bunching. 
Crosby's Egyptian—58 days. An early variety, 
roots smooth, round with small tap root. The 
flesh is rich crimson, crisp and _ tender. 
Adapted to early and late planting. 
SWISS CHARD OR SPINACH BEET—50 days. 
Sow in rows March and April, also in Au- 
gust and early September. Thin to stand 6 
to 8 inches apart in row. 1 oz. will drill 100 
feet of row. Swiss Chard is grown for its 
leaves and stalks, which grow upright and 
as they are cut, more come from the center. 
It produces throughout the summer. 
Lucullus—Leaves are tender, heavily crumpled 
and of fine flavor. Stalks are large, broad 
and thick.

Rhubarb Chard—60 days. Has heavily crumpled 
sake dark green with translucent crimson 
stalk.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Brussels Sprouts are a very delicate vege- 
table, and deserve a more general cultivation 
than they receive. The plant belongs to the 
cabbage family and should be grown and culti- 
vated like miniature cabbages. Very hardy; 
improved by frost. An ounce will produce 2,000 
plants. 
Dwarf Improved—Bearing a small 
small, solid, and tender heads. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 65¢, postpaid.

the cool autumn weather. Because of its green 
color it is richer in vitamins than the white 
cauliflower, which it resembles.

flower like heads are 4 to 5 inches across, 
not solid, but with light green, tender 
sprouts. Sow the seed early for summer
