JAX »/ Ne SH ‘> > Sy KISS WwW“ & = This new bush bean is everbearing; that is, goes right on 
. iy YA ae Ss SSNG2 \ ; producing pods indefinitely all through the season, if picking 
is continuous and thorough. The variety is of French origin, 
and has been sold under the name of Everbearing. 
Inexhaustible has very dark green foliage and pods. The 
leaves are somewhat crumpled or savoy-like. The first pods 
are produced low, in the manner common to bush beans, but 
at length the bearing shoots or branches are thrown out from 
EN the heart of the plant above and beyond the foliage. The pods 
should be picked when young, at which time they are string- 
less, sweet and brittle. They attain a length of 4 or 5 inches, 
Indeed, they are best when not fully grown. The pod is about 
\ half an inch broad in the middle, tapering towards the ends. 
The seeds are white, kidney shape, medium size. Being white 
seeded it has additional value in its use as a dry bean. 
This bush bean is of a new and distinct type, and my Briar 
Crest trials convince me of its high value.

-WOOD’S PROLIFIC BUSH LIMA. 
WOOD’S PROLIFIC BUSH LIMA. 
A NEW AND IMPROVED TYPE. 
LARGE, EARLY, VINELESS AND VERY PROLIFIC. 
_ This is a handsome, early and very prolific type of the large bush lima bean. It 
& is a splendid variety, probably destined to supersede all the other forms. In fact, 
gs the claim is made that it is the most valuable improvement introduced since the 
© first bush lima madeits appearance. Its especial claims include earliness, size of 
ty bean and extremely generous yield. As to table quality, it is equal to the best. 
EI _The testimony of those who have grown Wood’s Bush Lima emphasizes its valu- 
7 able features. One trucker says it is “much earlier’ and “far superior” to any 
g other bush bean. Another says it is as “early or earlier” than any other kind, and 
“certainly more hardy,’ and better able to withstand unfavorable weather. An- 
other says it does “everything it is recommended to do.” Another says it is the 
+ finest and most prolific” ever grown. 
“The plant makes a larger growth than the ordinary bush lima, and never indi- 
© cates its intention of producing runners, but it retains the bush form, and simply 
g loads itself down with pods, yielding twice as much as the old sorts.
