D KEEK'S NEtV BUSH LIMA. The best of all the Dwarf 

 or Bush Linias. {See Novelties, page i.) Pkt., 10c.; phit, 

 40c.; qt., 80c., post-paid. 



"The Dreer's Bush Limns are the greatest yielders of any 

 beans I ever raised; as a result of planting- just eight of 

 them I got 763 beans." — Fkank L. Adams, Warren, R.I. 



" I planted X))-ee)-'.s JBxs.'i, Burpee' f, Bush and Henderson's 

 Bush Limas this season, and find the Dreer's Bush far ahead 

 of all the others. They ripened perfectly and produced enor- 

 mously in this far northern latitude of Vermont. Dreer's 

 Bush has no equal, and will undoubtedly be the leading' Bush 

 Lima. I took seventeen first and- nine second premiums at 

 our Fair this fall, my seeds being bought of you."— Cbas. G. 

 Endlich, Brattleboro, Vt. 



" Dreer's Bush Liraas, bought of you last spring, proved 

 in all respects more satisfactory than any I havegrown. They 

 were very early, prolific and entirely true to the bush habit." 

 — Joshua Garrison, Ch\irch Point, Va. 



"I am immensely pleased with your Dreer's Bush Lima 

 Beans. I consider them by far the finest of all the Bush or Pole 

 Limas I ever raised." — Minerva Blalock, Mt. Zion, 111.

 Large Lima Pole Bean. (See Novelties and Specialties, page 

 4.) Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 40c.; qt., 75c., post-paid. 



HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. This valuable variety 

 is at least two iceeks eariicr than any of the climbing Limas and 

 produces a continuous crop until frost. Being enormously 

 productive, a very small patch will keep a family supplied 

 throughout the season. The beans are of the size of the 

 Sieva or Southern Lima, and of delicious quality. Pkt., 10 ., 

 pint, 30c.; qt., 55c., post-paid; peck, $2.25; bush., S8.00. 



BOSTON SMALL PEA BEAN. 



BOSTON SMALL PEA. This new bean sells in Bos- 

 ton market at from thirty to forty cents a bushel above the 

 ordinary varieties of pea and medium beans. It is early, very 

 hardy and prolific and yields from fifty to sixtyfold with 

 ordinary field culture. We have frequently picked over one 

 hundred pods from one plant, averaging six beans to the 

 pod. The seed is small, round and handsome. Pkt., lOc; 

 pint, 25c.; qt., 50c.; peck, S1.40; bush., $5.00. 



NEW SNOWFLAKE FIELD. This new variety, in- 

 troduced four years since, has given wonderful results. It 

 has proven very much earlier and more proliflcthan either the 

 common standard Pea Bean, or Prolific Tree Bean. The 

 plantgrowsupright, holdingits pods well up from theground. 

 They are borne in thick clusters, and ripen all at once. The 

 leaves fall off earlier than with other varieties, thus opening 

 the pods to the sun. We believe it will eventually supplant 

 the old varieties of White Pea Beans. Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 25c.; 

 qt., 45c.; peck, $1.25 ; bush., U.15. 



BUKLINGAME MEDIUMS. This is the leading field 

 bean in Central New York. On the "Genesee Flats" fifty 

 bushels to the acre is not an uncommon yield. The beans 

 are pearly white in color, and do not rust or spot. Burlin- 

 game Mediums are much soughtafterby dealers everywhere, 

 and always command top-notch market prices. Pkt., 10c. ; 

 pint, 20c.; qt., 35c.; peck, $1.10: bush., $4.00. 



Koyal Dwarf, or White Kidney. Among the best as 

 a winter bean. Pint, 20c.; qt., .35c.; peek, $1.20; bush., $4.25. 



"White Marrowfat. Extensively grown for sale a^a dry 

 bean for winter use; excellent shelled, either green or dry. 

 Pint, 2nc.; qt., 35c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.75. 



PROLIFIC TREE BEAN.

dwarf variety of the Horticul- 

 tural Pole Bean. Pint, 20c.; 

 qt., 40c. 



PROLIFIC TREE. A val- 

 uable variety for field culture, 

 growing about twenty inches 

 in height, branching out in all 

 directions, bearing its pods so 

 high that they do not touch the 

 ground. Theyhaveyielded at 

 the rate of nearly one hun- 

 dred bushelstotheacre. They 

 resemble the common Navy 

 Bean, more rounded at the 

 ends and very white, cooking 

 in less time. Pint, 20c.; qt., 

 35c.; peck, $1.10; bush., $4.00.

 sort for field culture. Seed white, nearly round. Very pro-

z""^^; 



LAZY "WIFE'S POLE. This fine pole bean, introduced 

 by us a few years since, has become a great favorite. The 

 pods grow from four to six inches long, entirely stringless, 

 and of a rich buttery flavor when cooked. The pods remain 

 green, and retain their tender, rich, stringless flavor until 

 nearly ripe. The beans are white, and unsurpassed as shell 

 beans for winter use. They are pronounced by all who have 

 grown them the best green podded snap-short Pole Bean in 

 cultivation. We cannot commend this bean too highly. 

 Pkt., lOc; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c.; post-paid; qt., 40c.; 4 qts., 

 $1.50; peck, $2.50, by express.
