“Frostproof BROAD BEAN 
Survived 24° On Our Michigan Seed Farms 
Six Broad Beans laid beside a 6-inch ruler to show the size 
of the dry beans. 
This bean is highly esteemed in Europe. It differs from American 
types of beans in that it should be planted early. We plant them 
here in Michigan as soon in the spring as the ground becomes 
srorkabie, sometimes in March. Plants are hardy and not sensitive 
to cold. . 
The beans are as large as the largest Lima Bean, and nearly the 
same shape. Botanically, it belongs to the bean family, but the 
flavor is more like that of the pea, which accounts for it sometimes 
being called the Lima Pea. 
The plant is a bush of upright growth, about 2%4 feet high, with 
strong, sturdy stalks. Pods 7 inches long and 1% inches wide, flat 
and straight. Each holds 5 to 7 mammoth size beans. It is won- 
derfully productive and is delicious cooked either fresh or as 2 
winter shell bean,
