LIMA BEANS 
A pound will plant about 150 feet of row, our new large packets 30 feet. 
Treated Lima Beans 
For Earlier Planting, Better Stands, Bigger Crops 
The greatest aid to growing limas in many years! New Arasan- 
Lindane formula, developed at Geneva Station, gives sensa- 
tional results. It protects seed from rotting in cool weather, 
guards against seed corn maggot injury, makes limas as easy to 
grow as snap beans. Plant as soon as soil is warm, get full 
stands and heavier yields. All our limas are now treated— 
another free Harris’ service. 
Lima beans bear best on fairly heavy soils that are not too rich. Plant 
in rows 3 ft. apart and thin to stand 8 to 12 in. apart. Giving the plants 
plenty of room results in better yields. 
26 FORDHOOK U.S. 242. The Best Bush Lima. 
74 days. The finest and most popular lima bean in the country for both 
market and home use. It sets big crops under all kinds of conditions 
and the large vigorous plants bear heavily from early in the season 
until frost. The pods are 3% to 4 in. long, uniform and well-filled 
and they shell out plump thick beans of the finest quality. The flavor is 
delicious and they are not only excellent to eat fresh but also the best 
for canning and freezing. 
With our new treated seed of this great variety, every one can grow 
plenty of these wonderful limas. Plant Fordhook 242 this year.

35 IDEAL POLE LIMA. Best Mammoth-Podded Lima. 
88 days. Pole Lima Beans are of better quality than the bush kinds 
and they are ideal for home gardens as they yield more in small space. 
Plant them to grow up poles 7 or more feet long, using 5 or 6 seeds 
around each pole and later thinning to three of the strongest plants. 
A pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Ideal is so superior that we do not sell any other kind of pole lima. 
The pods are immense, often 7 inches long containing usually 6 large 
flat beans of the very finest quality. The vines are very vigorous and 
prolific and a few hills will give plenty of these delicious tender beans 
right up until frost. 
Harris’ new treated seed will give you better stands than ever before.
