 in rows two feet apart, plant one foot apart in the 

 row.

 ductive, grow close together in the pod, thick, sweet, tender and succulent. Ot. 25c; 

 peck |2.00; bush., $8.00. 



Dreer's Wonder Dwarf Lima. — This new selection is quite a decided improvement on the 

 well-known Burpee's Bush Lima, being seven to ten days earlier, with pods four to five 

 inches in length, each containing three and sometimes four large beans of finest flavor. 

 This strain is of a neat, strictly dwarf growth, free from any tendency to make runners; 

 a large crop can be grown from a small space. Ot., 25c; peck, $1.50; bush., $6.00. 



Henderson's Dwarf Lima. — Produces beans of smaller size ; is very productive and decid- 

 edly luscious. They grow 15 to 18 inches high and continue bearing until frost. Qt., 25c;

POLE LIMA BEANS. 



Stanoen^JBobnen. 



1 quart to 150 hills. 8 to 10 quarts to the acre. 



The pole varieties of Beans are of strong running growth, and need stout poles or other support on which 

 to climb. They require a longer season to mature pods than the bush varieties, but by reason of their stronger 

 growth are more productive, and growing on poles are more easily gathered. The varieties we offer are all of 

 excellent quality, are highly desirable to plant to produce dry shell beans for winter use. Whtn planted in 

 the garden, poles should be set three to four feet apart each way. A shovelful of rich compost or well-rotted 

 manure should be placed in the soil at the base of the pole before planting the seed. 



(New J Early Leviathan Lima. — This is the very earliest. It will not only give large 

 Lima Beans earlier than an}' other strain, but is also much more productive, both early and 

 throughout the season. It is a good strong grower, clinging well to the poles, and is a sure 

 setter of pods. The pods differ from those of other early Pole Limas in being straighter 

 and longer. The pods hang out from the foliage in large clusters and contain three to four 

 and frequently five large beans to the pod. Pint, 15c; qt., 30c; peck, $1.75. Bus. $7.50. 



Seibert's Early Lima.— The earliest true Lima Bean. The vine is very vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. The pods are large, but thin, and can be more easily opened than those of other 

 varieties. The green beans are large, very handsome and of the best quality. In earliness, 

 ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the greeu beans this variety is superior, and 

 must come to be recognized as one of the best of all for either the garden or market. 

 Qt., 25c; peck, $1.50j bush, $5.50. 



Extra Early Jersey. — Of a strong growth, maturing a good crop, quite early, pods medium 

 size, usuall}' contain three beans each. Qt. 25c ; peck $1.25 ; bush., $5.00. 



King of the Garden. — A vigorous grower, bearing profusely large pods, varying in length 

 from five to six inches, beans large and of rich flavor. Qt., 25c ; peck $1.50; bush., $6.00. 



Ford's Mammoth Podded. — This grand Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years' se- 

 lection by James Ford, one of the oldest market gardeners of Pennsylvania. The pods 

 grow to an average length of seven inches and are produced in great clusters, with from 

 five to seven beans per pod, of most excellent quality, for using either green or dry. The 

 vines grow vigorously, setting the beans early at the bottom of the pole, and continue in 

 bearing right up to frost. Ford's Mammoth Podded is without exception the largest 

 podded, finest flavored and most productive of all Lima Beans. Qt., 25c; pk., $1.75; bu. $6.50. 



Large White. — Considered by many the most delicious of the Bean family, a general favorite for home use 

 or market. Qt.. 25c : peck, $1.50 ; bush.. $6.00. 



Dreer's Improved. — The distinctive feacures of this are early maturity, large yield and extra quality. The 

 bean itself is thick and round, rather than oval-shaped, as most of the other I,imas are. Qt., 25c: peck. $1.5 0; 

 bush., $6.00.
