Panmure Extra Early Pole Lima. 
This pole lima bean is from California, which State has, of recent years, become known as 
the greatest lima bean district in the world. It represents the careful selection for many years. 
of one of the best growers of lima beans I know of. By selecting the earliest pods year after 
year he has secured a bean that is positively two weeks earlier than any other. Beans are as 
large as the ordinary large lima, pods containing five and six beans. It comes in bearing early 
in July and bears right up to frost. It is so good that I have decided to put the name of my 
New Jersey trial grounds to it. At Panmure, tested alongside of thirty other varieties, it proved 
one to two weeks earlier than the earliest of them. Packet, 15 cts.; pt., 40 cts; qt., 75 cta., 
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, qt., 60 cts.; 4 qts., $2.00; peck, $3.50. 
Maule’s Evergreen Pole Lima. 
For a number of years a market gardener near Philadelphia has been experimenting witb 
lima beans, with’ the idea of breeding a hean that would retain the green color of the bean 
when dry. I have watched his experiment for several years with a great deal of interest, and 
at last at a big price secured some of the seed, and grew the product of same at Panmure. [| 
must say it is a strong, robust, vigorous grower, very productive, and the dry bean retains the 
green color longer than any other variety I know of. Hence its name, Evergreen. Every mar- 
ket gardener knows what a desirable characteristic this is in a bean, and when we add to it 
unusual productiveness and superb quality, we have a lima bean that is as near perfection ae 
possible. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 40 cents; quart, 75 cents, postpaid. By express or 
freight, not prepaid, quart, 60 cents; 4 quarts, $2.00; peci, $3.50.

the grand old standard market and family sort. 
It is no longer a new bean, but one of the best 
for main crop. It is vigorous in growth and 
immensely productive. The vine begins to pro- 
duce pods near the foot of the pole, and the 
bearing season continues without interruption

until frost. The pods are large, numerous and

mure Extra Early the earliest of the pole limas 
and one of the best for practical farmers and 
truckers who wish to be first inthe market. It 
is the result of careful selection and high breed- 
ing, with three ends in view, namely: Earliness, 
a green bean anda thin pod. It is of large size 
and excellent quality; a tender and succulent 
bean for either home or market. Packet,

SALEM IMPROVED LARGE LIMA. — 
This is a selected strain of the large pole lima, 
but so distinctly superior to the lima beans 
with which most of my customers are familiar. 
It is one of the most prolific lima beans on 
the market, as well as one of the best in table 
quality. The pods are borne in clusters, often 
with five or six large beans ina pod. It ripens 
shortly after Seibert’s Early, and bears until 
frost. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25c.; qt., 45c., post-=- 
paid. By ex. or freight, not prepaid, qt., 
30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.10; pk., $2.00; bu., $7.00. 
DREER’S IMPROVED LIMA.--Also called 
Challenger Lima, Thorburn’s Lima, Potato Li- 
ma, ete. This is a bean of rather peculiar shape, 
being thick and plump rather than flat and 
oval. Itis a very “meaty” bean, of excellent 
flavor and high table quality. The beans are de- 
licious. When green they nearly equal the ordi- 
nary large lima bean in size, but are thicker, 
aweeter and more tender. They remain green 
in the pod a long time after maturing. The 
pods, which are borne in olusters, average four 
or five inches in length, and each pod contains 
four or five thick beans, squared at the ends hy 
pressure. The beans are easily shelled. Pkt., 
10 cts.3 pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts., postpaid.
