Y KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. ~This is 
the grand old standard market and family sort, 
which nothing can displace from public favor. 
It is no longer a new bean, but is still 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. 
No lima bean is more widely or more favorably 
known throughout the United States than the 
King of the Garden. It is a market favorite. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents; 
postpaid. Peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 
PLEASE NOTIGE. 
I do not pay the freight on beans, peas or 
sweet corn at prices quoted by peck or bushel.

LAHENDERSON’S BUSH 
LIMA.—The earliest of the bush 
limas; two weeks earlier than 
any of the climbing beans. It is 
small in size, but of high table 
merit, and in favor with house- 
keepers on account of its delici- 
ous flavor and great productive- 
ness. The plant requires nosup- 
port of any kind. It bears until 
frost, and a small patch will sup- 
ply afamily. Its bearing ability 
was demonstrated some years 
ago when I offered a prize of $150 
in cash for the largest yield. The 
winning plant carried 823 well 
developed pods. Packet, 10 cts.,

ADREER’S OR THOR- 
URN’S BUSH LIMA.—This is 
a dwarf form of the Dreer or 
Thorburn pole lima, interme- 
diate in size between Burpee and 
Henderson. It isa thick meaty 
bean, of extra good flavor and 
high food value. The plant grows 
12 to 18 inches high, and the 
bush form of growth is well es- 
tablished. It is very productive, 
the pods, like the leaves, being 
short and thick. Packet, 10 cts.; 
pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., post-
