BEANS FOR YOUR GARDEN 
_ A very popular and worthy home garden vegetable which gives quick results after plant- 
ing—Beans on the table in six weeks. Sow in spring and early summer, in warm soil, in rows 
2 feet apart, seed 2 to 3 inches apart in the row; or in hills 12 inches apart, 3 to 4 Beans to 
a hill. For a continuous supply of Beans, make additional sowings every 2 weeks. In this part 
of the country you can plant Beans until the first of July. 
One package of Wax- or Green-Podded Beans will plant 25 feet of row; 1 pound 200 feet.

LIMA BEANS 
Trials have proven to us that Lima Beans have pro- 
duced the largest crops when planted more thickly 
than customary. Rows 24 inches apart with the seed 
2 inches apart in the row gave the best results. 
Always set the beans eye down, 1 inch deep and not 
until the ground is fully warm. Don’t brush against 
Bean foliage when it is wet.

Fordhook US242. All-America Bronze Medal Win- 
ner, 1945. Nearly straight pods, uniform in size and 
shape, filled to overflowing with three and four very 
plump Beans of the highest quality. The large, vig- 
orous plants are better yielders, especially for early 
picking than the old Fordhook and hold their fine 
form and size throughout the whole season. We have 
discontinued the old Fordhook as this new variety is so 
much better in every way.

Henderson Bush. The “Baby” Lima Bean. Both 
pods and Beans are small but are produced in large 
quantities. Continuous bearers. A small patch will 
keep a family supplied with delicious Limas all season. 
The quality is very good.

more prolific, with larger and thicker Beans, better

are very vigorous growing and you can depend on it 
to bear a heavy crop every year. Height 16 inches.

SHELL BEANS 
Seneca Horticultural. A new early Horticultural or 
Cranberry Bean. A great favorite in New England and 
many other sections where it is used as a green shell 
Bean to be eaten fresh, canned or frozen. Long, 
thick, flat, light green pods splashed with carmine 
when mature. The Beans are light buff in color, 
heavily splashd with crimson.

Best Times To Harvest 
Beans should be tender, from half to three fourths 
of the mature size. They should snap easily with no 
fibers or strings. 
Lima Beans are at their best just as the lower end 
of the pod shows a faint tinge of yellow.

TENDER AND 
STRINGLESS 
Brittle Wax Bean is very popular both with the 
amateur and professional grower. It has very high 
quality, is entirely stringless, and the seeds are 
white. 
Broad Long Pod Beans 
DELICIOUS GREEN SHELL BEAN 
Also called Fava and Giant Butter. Grown for green 
shell Beans, which are large, broad and flat, some- 
what resembling Limas, and should be used in the 
same way. Flavor is like Peas. Plant grows very large 
and erect. The pods are 9 to 10 inches long, 1% 
incnes wide and generally hold six Beans. Plant the 
seed as early as possible, for it takes 100 days to 
mature, and they will not thrive in midsummer heat. 
A package will make a row about 15 feet long; 1 Ib. 
will sow 50 feet.

POLE BEANS 
One of our customers had very good luck by 
planting a row of Russian Giant Sunflower in: hills 
about 2 feet apart and growing Kentucky Pole 
Beans on them. Both can be planted together, as 
the Sunflower will keep ahead of the Beans. 
* Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead. The 
best early green-podded Pole Bean for home or 
market garden. Vigorous and productive. Pods 9 
to 10 inches long, of fine quality, very fleshy,

tures in 63 days. The seed is brown.

that this is the best Pole Lima; heavily productive, 
bearing straight pods 6 inches long, containing 4 
to 5 large, thick, flat white Beans of very excellent 
quality. Pkg. 15c; % Ib. 40c; Ib. 70c; 5 Ibs. $2.70

scarlet flowers and is valuable not only for orna- 
mental purposes but for its food value as well.

For much stronger, healthier plants and a much 
higher yield, treat your Lima Bean seed with Sper- 
gon. (See page 55.) Two ounces will treat just 
about all the Pea, Lima Bean, Squash, Cucumber 
and Melon seed normally used in a home garden.
