VEGETABLES RAISED FOR MARKET 



Lima, Burpee's Bush Lima, and Henderson's 

 Bush Lima. Dreer's Bush Lima is the best, as 

 it is early and more productive. The pods are 

 thick and succulent and contain from three to 

 five beans of fair size, more rounded than flat. 



Burpee's Bush Lima bears a large amount of 

 pods containing beans very flat and large, similar 

 to the large white pole variety. 



Henderson's Bush Lima is the dwarf Sieva or 

 small Lima. It matures earlier than either of the 

 above two, but, being smaller-podded, will not 

 yield as many bushels as the Dreer's Bush Lima. 

 The above three varieties are much more tender 

 than the sorts that precede them and should not 

 be planted before the latter part of May or rather 

 till the ground is thoroughly warm. 



Of the wax varieties, the Wardwell Kidney 

 Wax, Rawson's Horticultural Wax, Davis Kidney 

 Wax are the most widely grown in this section, 

 though not a few stick to the older varieties as 

 Golden Wax, Golden-Eyed Wa.x, Improved Gol- 

 den Wax, and Black Wax. 



Wardwell Kidney Wax is remarkable for its 

 productiveness. Pods are long, flat and handsome 

 in colour. It is quite susceptible to rust, however,
