» Maule’s Evergreen 
For a number of years a market gardener 
near Philadelphia has been experimenting 
with lima beans, with the idea of breeding a 
bean that would retain the green color of the 
bean when dry. We have secured some of the 
seed, and must say it is a strong, robust, vigor- 
ous grower, very productive, and the dry bean 
retains the green color longer than any other 
variety of which we know: hence its name, 
Evergreen. When we add its unusual superb 
quality, we have a lima bean that is near 
perfection. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; 
quart, 55 cts., postpaid. By ex. or freight, 
not prepaid, qt., 40 cts.; 4 quarts, $1.40; 
peck, $2.50; bushel, $9.00. 
53 King of the Garden 
This oldstandard market sort is 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 
well filled, and the beans are of mammoth size. 
The handsome pods often attain a length of five, 
six, seven or even eight inches, with five or 
six full and perfectly formed beans in each pod. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts., post- 
paid. By ex. or freight, not prepaid, qt., 
35 cts.; & qts., $1.25; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.50. 
54 New Ideal 
Pods are of enormous size; some reaching 8 
inches in length, and are produced in large 
clusters, with 5 to 7 large beans to a pod. The 
vines are remarkably productive. The superb 
quality, tenderness and rich flavor, render New 
Ideal one of the best main crop limas for home

57 Carolina or Sieva 
(The Butter Bean of the South.) Grows 
quickly, matures early and is immensely pro- 
ductive and bears continuously throughout the 
season. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 ets.; qt., 50 cts., 
postpaid. By ex. or freight, not prepaid, 
| qt., 35c.; 4 qts., $1.25; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.00. 
55 Salem Improved 
This is a selected strain of the large pole 
lima, and is distinctly superior to the lima 
beans with which most of our 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 clus- 
ters, often with five or six large beans in a pod. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., post- 
paid. By ex. or freight, not prepaid, qt., 
30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.10; pk., $2.00; bu., $7.50. 
56 Dreer’s Improved 
Also ealled Challenger Lima, Potato Lima, 
ete. Of peculiar shape, being thick and plump 
rather than flat and oval. It isa very “meaty” 
bean, of excellent flavor and high table quality. 
The beans are delicious. When green they 
nearly equal the ordinary large lima bean in 
size, but are thicker, sweeter and more tender. 
They remain green in the pod a long time after 
maturing. The pods, which are borne in clus- 
ters, average four or five inches in length, and 
each pod contains four or five thick beans, 
easily shelled. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; 
quart, 50 cts., postpaid. By express or 
freight, not prepaid, quart, 35 cts.; 4 qts., 
$1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.50. 
5 Panmure Extra Early 
This pole lima bean is from California, which 
State has, of recent years, become known as 
the greatest lima bean district in the world. 
By carefully selecting the earliest pods year 
after year we have secured a bean that is posi- 
tively two weeks earlier than any other. Beans 
are as large as the ordinary large lima, pods 
containing four and five’ beans. Tested 
alongside of thirty other varieties, it proved 
one to two weeks earlier than the others. 
Pkt., 10 cis.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 55 cts., post- 
paid. By express or freight; not prepaid, 
quart, 40 cts.; 4 quarts, $1.40, peck, $2.50; 
bushel, $9.00. 
48 Early Leviathan 
An early variety of large size. 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; we have 
frequently seen five to/ten in a cluster, each 
containing from four to six large beans to the 
pod. An excellent home or market sort, giving 
satisfaction everywhere. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 
30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid. By express 
or freight, mot prepaid, quart, 35 cts.; 
4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.50.
