the middle of May, thinning out to 6 plants. Protect 
against Bean beetle.

pods of distinct flavor. Considered by many to be the 
finest of all snap beans. Lb. $1.25, 5 Ibs. $5.75

*Evergreen. This bush Lima’s great merit is in the 
color, shape and flavor, about the size of Henderson’s, 
but plump; green in both skin and Bean thus making an 
attractive appearance; gratifying to the taste and has 
the nutty Fordhook flavor. The good qualities are not 
lost, whether the Beans are used fresh, from the deep 
freezer or canned. Plants, pods and maturity are very 
much the same as standard small seeded bush Lima 
varieties. Lb. $1.25, 5 Ibs. $5.75
