These are more tender and require rather more care in culture than the Bush 
Beans, and should be sown two weeks later. They succeed best in sandy loam, 
whicb should be liberally enriched with short manure in the hills, which are 
formed, according to the variety, from three to four feetapart ; from five to six 
seeds are planted in each hill, about twe inches deep. As the matured bean is 
used mostly, the season is too short for succession crops in the North, though it 
is advantageous to plant succession crops in the Southern States, where the sea- 
son of growth is often from March to November. Rough cedar or similar poles 
about seven or eight feet long should be used for Lima Beans to climb on, or, 
what is better still, White’s Garden Trellis, described in another portion of this 
catalogue. They should be set in the ground at least 18 inches, so as to pre- 
vent being blown over.

GOLDEN CHAMPION POLE BEAN.

This is certain to be the leading Early Wax 
This we regard as far ahead of any other 
green Pole Bean. In our trial grounds last 
summer it was fit for the table on August Ist, 
which was at least ten days earlier than any 
other green sort. It is enormously produc- 
tive, the pods hanging in great clusters from 
top to bottom of the pole. Itis entirely string- 
less, and the pods are a silvery green color, 
resembling the popular Refugee Bush Bean. 
The pods, though large, cook tender and 
melting, and we can recommend it as the 
best green Pole Bean. (See cut.) 15c. 14 pt..

POLE LIMA BEANS 
SMALL LIMA OR SIEVA. A variety of 
the large White Lima. The pods, however, 
are much smaller, usually about three 
inches long. Itis a little earlier and more 
hardy. The seeds also are smaller, but of/ 
the same color as the Large White Lima

LARGE WHITE LIMA. With nearly 
eyery one the seeds, either green or ripe, | 
of this variety, are considered the most 
tender and delicious of all the bean family, | 
and it is therefore universally grown both | 
for market and family use. The ripe seeds | 
are flattish kidney shape, and have a dull 
white color.

DREER’S IMPROVED LIMA. The dis- 
tinctive features of this are early maturity, | 
large yield and extra quality. The bean | Extra Early, as it combines, better than 
itself is thick and round, rather than oval- | any other quantity quality and earliness. 
shaped, as most other Limas are. 15e. 15 | (Gé¢ cut.) l5e. 1g pt, 30c. pt., 50c. qt.,

Pole Bean, as it is fully two weeks earlier 
than the Golden Cluster Wax Pole, being fit 
to pick on July 24th of last year. The pods 
are enormous, resembling the Yosemite Wax 
in size and form; color light yellow. They 
are absolutely stringless and cook tender. 
The Golden Champion was the only Wax Pole 
| Bean that did not rust or spot badly in our 
trial grounds last summer. Every garden 
should contain the Golden Champion and 
‘Old Homestead.” (See cut.) de. 4g pt.,

POLE LIMA BEANS 
JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA. In 
our experience with it from year to year, 
we have found it invariably ten days to 
two weeks earlier than any other Pole 
Lima. The pods of it have been large 
enough to pick July 24th, and have been 
sold in the New York markets a week later. 
The beans are a trifle smaller. than those of 
the Large White Lima, but are all the bet- 
|; ter on that account, as small beans are 
| always considered preferable, being more 
| tender and delicious. Every one desiring 
a Pole Lima Bean should plant the Jersey
