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.

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 splashed with crimson. 
Sorry, crop failure. Will have them to offer 
next season. 
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.

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.
