BUSH LIMA BEANS. 



BURPKE'S BUSH LIMA "Burpee's Bush Lima Beans grow 18 to 20 inclies high, of 



stout growth and always erect, yet branching so vigorously that each plant develops Into ^tSfl! '# 

 a magniticent circular bush, from 2 to 3 feet in aiameter. The thickness of the main '^^; 4 

 stalk and branches of the plant, as also the unusual size, healthy green color and 

 thick, leathery substance of the leaves indicate the strong constitution of this va- 

 riety, bv which it is enabled to bear large crops, and is also a sure cropper. It is an 

 immense vielder, each bush bearing from fifty to two hundred handsome, large 

 pods, well filled with very large beans, which are identical in size and luscious fla- 

 vor to the well known large pole Lima." Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, .50 cts. 



HEXOEKSOJV'S BUSH L.IMA At least two weeks earlier than any of the 



climbing sorts, and the earliest of the Bush Limas, requiring no support of any 

 kind. It produces a crop from the time it comes into bearing until frost, and being 

 enormously productive, a very small patch will keep a family supplied throughout 

 the entire season. To give some idea of its productiveness would say, in competi- 

 tion for the SloO cash prize ottered in mv 1>»8 catalogue, a plant containing the enor- 

 mous quantity of 323 well developed pods won the prize. The size of the dry bean 

 will hinder Henderson's Bush Lima from being popular with market gardeners; 

 but for private gardeners it will prove most satisfactory, its habit of growth, deli- 

 cious flavor and great productiveness recommending it. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 



30 cents; quart, .50 cents.

SALEM IMPROVED. 



P0LE LIMH BEANS. 



SALEM IMPROVED LIMA This is a selected strain of the large Lima, 



but it is so far superior to the Lima Beans that I know most of my customere 

 see and grow, that I must give it a prominent place in my catalogue. In th« 

 first place, I think you will find it one of the most productive as well as on* 

 of the best table Limas you have ever grown. Pods are produced in lar^^ 

 clusters, five to six large Beans often 

 In a pod, and ripens only a very short 

 time after Seibert's Early Lima. The 

 vines continue In bearing right up 

 until killed by the frost. Packet, 10 

 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 

 KIIV» OP THE GARDEN LIMA. 

 — A great improvement over the ordi- 

 nary Lima, excelling it in every de- 

 partment; vigorous in growth,' im- 

 mensely productive, luscious in quality 

 and setting their beans early at the 

 bottom of the poles. Pods are of larf^f^ 

 size and well filled with large, plump 

 beans; the originator says : "The vines 

 grow luxuriantly, and furnish a bounti- 

 ful supply of enormous pods, many 

 specimens measuring from 5 to 8 inches 

 and often producing 5 and beans to 

 the pod, all perfectly formed and pos- 

 sessing superb qualities, unexcelled by 

 any that have come to my noticeduring 

 a practical experience in beau culture 

 of 20 years." Pkt., 10c. ; pt., ZOc; qt., .50c. 

 SEIBERT'S EARLV LIMA.— "The 

 earliest of all Pole Limas. This variity 

 was developed by a market gardener 

 who selected the largest green beans 

 from the thinnest and most easily 

 opened pods. Practical value to the 

 market gardener has been the object 

 aimed at in the development of "this 

 bean, and we believe it to be the verv 

 best sort for their use. The vine is verv 

 productive and exceptionally hardy 

 and vigorous. It produces pods very 

 early and the beans are of fine quality. 

 The green shelled beans are of immense 

 size, but tender and succulent. In ear- 

 liness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and 

 quality of the green l.eans, this variety 

 is far in advance of all other sorts, and 

 must come to be recognized as the best 

 of all for either garden or market." 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., .50 cts. 



DREER'S IMPROVED LIMA 



\'ery productive and pods are always 

 full of extra plump Beans of the most 

 delicious and superior quality. 

 When green they are nearly as larie 

 as the large lima, thicker, sweeter 

 and more tender, remaining green 

 in the pod for a long time after ma- 

 turing. Pkt., 10c. ; pt., 30c.; qt., ,50c. 



FLACK LIMA.-The introducers 

 say : "The vine is a medium vigor- 

 ous grower, quite hardy and enor- 

 mously productive. Pods have a 

 uniform length of about 3'^ Inches, 

 and contains 3 and 4 beans each." 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; 

 quart, .50 cents.
