New Bush Lima Bean. 



HENDERSON'S NEW BUSH 



LIMA BEAN. 



This valuable vegetable novelty was 

 offered to the public for the first time last 

 spring by ourselves, simultaneously with our 

 friends, Peter Henderson & Co. 



The New Bush Lima grows without the 

 aid of stakes or poles, in compact bush form 

 about eighteen inches high, and produces 

 enormous crops of delicious Lima Beans, 

 which can be as easily gathered as the com- 

 mon garden bush beans. It is at least two 

 weeks earlier than any of the climbing Limac 

 and produces a continuous crop from the time 

 it comes into bearing until frost. The beans 

 are of the size of the Sieva or Southern Lima 

 and as before stated of delicious quality. 

 Pkt., 15c.; pint, 60c.; qt.,$i.oo; peck, $6.50. 



Sc^j^rlet M Violet FI^ jeolet or Perfpction V^x Be^n5 . 



These varieties were brought from Germany several years since ; as grown there the Flageolet Wax 

 consists of a mixture of two varieties — one with light scarlet beans, while those of the other are much 

 darker red, or violet-colored. In character of growth of vine and pod they do not differ very materially. 

 Both have very vigorous, strong-growing vines, bearing very large, long, flat and tender wax-like pods. 

 Their immense size and beautiful color make them very attractive in the market. For some years a few 

 of these beans have been offered in market, and have always commanded nearly double the price of 

 common wax beans, and although not quite so early as other sorts, they mature in good season. The 

 Scarlet Flageolet is a little the earlier and more productive, but the Violet has larger pods. These two 

 varieties as offered by us are quite distinct, and have been established by years of selection. They are 

 offered by some seedsmen under other names, as ''Scarlet " and '■'■Perfection " Wax. We recommend 

 them as among the largest and most showy dwarf wax beans in cultivation.

New Prolific German o r Cylinder Black Wax Bean. 



This is an entirely new and im- 

 proved strain of the old favorite 

 German or Black Wax Bean, origi- 

 nated by a large bean grower of 

 Genesee County, N. Y. By com- 

 parative tests in our trial grounds, 

 we find it very superior to the old 

 strain, being much earlier and more 

 than twice as productive. Pods 

 perfectly round, straighter, longer, 

 and of an even rich golden color, 

 see illustration opposite. Our stock 

 is grown for us by the originator, 

 and is entirely pure and thorough- 

 bred. Qt., 30c.; peck, I1.75 ; bush., 



NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN OR CYLINDER BI ACK -ft AX BEAN 



NEW QOLbEN EYED 



W^X BU5[1 gE/!N. 



An entirely new, early and vig- 

 orous growing variety, yielding a 

 great profusion of tender pods of a 

 beautiful, waxy appearance. The 

 vine grows about one and a half feet 

 high, holding the pods well off the 

 ground, thus keeping them clean 

 and attractive. The pods are flat, 

 larger than the Golden Wax, and 

 very nearly as large as the Flageolet 

 Wax. Qt. , 30c. ; peck, |i . 75 ; bush. ,
