- Maule’s Evergreen Pole Lima 
For a number of years a market gardener near Philadelphia has been experimenting with 
lima beans, with the idea of breeding a bean that would retain the green color of the bean 
when dry. I haye watched his experiment for several years with a great deal of interest, and 
at last at a big price secured some of the seed, and grew the product of same at Panmure. I 
must Say it is a Strong, robust, vigorous grower, very productive, and the dry bean retains the 
green color longer than any other variety I know of. Hence its name, Evergreen. Every mar- 
ket gardener knows what a desirable characteristic this is in a bean, and when we add to it 
unusual productiveness and superb quality, we have a lima bean that is as near perfection as 
ever attained. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, postpaid. By express or 
freight, not prepaid, quart, 35 cents; 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.50. 
» Panmure Extra Early Pole Lima 
This pole lima bean is from California, which State has, of recent years, become known as 
the greatest lima bean district in the world. It represents the careful selection for many years 
of one of the best growers of lima beans I know. By selecting the earliest pods year after 
year he has secured a bean that is positively two weeks earlier than any other. Beans are as 
large as the ordinary large lima, pods containing five and six beans. It comes in bearing early 
in July and bears right up to frost. It is so good that I have decided to put the name of my 
New Jersey trial grounds to it. At Panmure, tested alongside of thirty other varieties, it proved 
one to two weeks earlier than the earliest. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts; qt., 50 cts., postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25; bu., $8.50. 
53 KING OF THE GARDEN POLE LIMA.

is no longer a new bean, but one of 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

55 SALEM IMPROVED POLE LIMA.— 
This is a selected strain of the large pole lima, 
and is distinctly superior to the lima beans 
with which most of my customers are familiar. 
It is one of the most prolific lima beans on 
the market, as well as one of the best in table 
quality. The pods are borne in clusters, often 
with five or six large beans ina pod. It ripens 
shortly after Maule’s Evergreen, and bears until 
frost. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25¢.3 qt., 45c., post=

56 DREER’S IMPROVED POLE LIMA. 
—Also called Challenger Lima, Potato Lima, 
ete. This is a bean of peculiar shape, being 
thick and plump rather than flat and oval. 
It is a very “meaty” bean, of excellent flavor 
and high table quality. The beans are delic- 
ious. When green they nearly equal the ordi- 
nary large lima bean in size, but are thicker, 
sweeter and more tender. They remain green 
inthe pod a long time after maturing. The 
pods, which are borne in clusters, average four 
or five inches in length, and each pod contains 
four or five thick beans, squared at the ends by 
pressure. The beans are easily shelled. eee
