much brighter stripe then the old strains. 
This type is becoming more popular each 
year. Two weeks earlier than the old 
strains. Pods green, streaked with red, 
changing lighter at shell stage with 
bright red stripes. Excellent used as a 
green snap bean or for shell or dry beans.

CHRISTMAS LIMA (See cut) — This 
unusual pole lima excels for quality 
and production. When cooked in either 
dry or green shell stage the seed turns 
to a pink-brown color and the stripe dis- 
appears. In the shell stage they are sweet 
as though they had been sugared lightly. 
In either dry or shell stage the skin is 
thin and tender. We have tested many 
lima varieties but none equals this for 
high quality and production so we be- 
lieve it is the best for our Pacific North- 
west states where cool summer nights 
usually prevail during the growing sea- 
son. The seeds are very flat but quite 
large and every seed is white, striped 
with deep crimson as shown in the illus- 
tration. Vigorous vines 7 to 9 feet tall, 
foliage rather thin and of medium size. 
Pods 5 to 5% inches long and about one 
inch wide, usually carrying 3 beans to the 
pod. We urge our home garden customers 
to try this grand lima. Commercial gar- 
deners who contact their customers at 
roadside stands or public markets should 
introduce it to their trade. 
KING OF THE GARDEN—A large, flat 
lima of great vigor and heavy production. 
Seed white in dry stage but creamy 
green in shell condition. This variety 
also produces well in the Pacific North- 
west. A splendid sort for canning or 
freezing. Vines 7 to 9 feet, pods 5% to 6 
inches long with 4 to 5 thick, flat seeds. 
OREGON LIMA (White Seeded Run- 
ner)—A large pole lima, extra early and 
suited for Pacific Northwest culture. It 
ripens in about 75 days from planting. 
Excellent used as a shell bean or stored 
dry for winter use. Extra large, plump, 
pure white seed. In the milder climates 
it often lives through the winter and 
produces acrop the second year. Pkt. 10e; 
Lo Ib. 30c; Ib. 55ce. Postpaid.
