(85 days.) Introduced by H. L. Holmes. The most productive Pole Lima Bean. Grows green, 
stays green. This Pole Lima was originated 
near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, over sixty 
years ago by Mr. Lafferty, a renowned market 
gardener who specialized in growing Lima 
Beans for family and hotel trade. We find the 
Bean is far more productive than any other 
Pole Lima. The large pods hang in clusters of 
from five to eight, which makes them easy to 
gather, each having five to six Beans in a pod.

apart in the row and 3 to 4 feet between rows. Use 7- to 8-foot poles
