*35 FORDHOOK U. S. 242: 75 days. We 
have found after several years of testing lim- 
as on our farms that Fordhook 242 is the 
best large seeded bush lima bean for both 
market and home use. It has proven itself 
more productive and much more depend- 
able even under unfavorable weather con- 
ditions than the old Fordhook. Pods are 
uniform and well-filled with plump, thick, 
oval beans of finest quality. The flavor is 
delicious and is not only excellent to eat 
fresh but is also best for freezing and can-

QUALITY SEEDS FOR THE HOME GARDEN

for pole beans, or you can use poles. Plant 
5 or 6 beans around each pole and thin to 3.

like Scotia better than Kentucky Wonder.

round, smooth, green, tender, and of dis- 
tinctive flavor. Pkt. 25¢; 14 Ib. 55¢; lb. 85¢;

producing a good crop, and it is equally 
fine in quality. Vines vigorous, strong 
climbers, 8 to 10 ft. Pods are 5 to 6 in. 
long, flat and smooth with 4 to 5 large, flat, 
pale green seeds per pod. Pkt. 25¢; Y% Ib.

Are you one of those gardeners who quit growing 
Bush Limas because you didn’t get enough beans 
to make it pay? We suggest you try Fordhook 
242. This new variety has put lima bean growing 
on a paying basis. 
All Lima Bean seed is treated before ship- 
ment with an insecticide and a fungicide to 
prevent maggot damage and to protect seed 
from decaying—permits earlier planting.
