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.

with which most of my customers are familiar

Challenger Lima, Thorburn’s Lima, Potato Li- 
ma, etc. This is a bean of rather peculiar shape, 
being thick and plump rather than flat and 
oval. Itis a -very ‘‘meaty”’ bean, of excellent 
flavor and high table quality. The vine has the 
lima habit of growth, and is very productive, 
with pods always well filled. The beans are de- 
licious. When green they nearly equal the ordi- 
nary large lima bean in size, but are thicker, 
Sweeter and more tender. They remain green 
in the ped a long time after maturing. The 
pods, which are borne in clusters, average four 
four or five thick beans, squared at the ends by 
pressure. The beans are easily shelled and are 
in wide favor. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 
quart, 45 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.75.

WoOOD’S PROLIFIC BUSH LIMA.—An improved type of truebushlima. (See specialties.) 
/BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA.—A dwarf or bush form of the large climbing lima. The climbing 
habit has been almost wholly obliterated, and no poles are required. The pods and seeds are of 
full limasize. The strain which I control is of uniformly dwarf or bushy habit. The plant grows 
18 or 20 inches high, and has anerect branching stem. The common yield is from 50 to 200 market- 
able pods per plant. The size and luscious flavor of the bean are exactly the same as with the 
climbing lima types. It is, in fact, a non-running lima; a true limain every sense, except as to

HENDERSON’S BUSH 
LIM A.—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 2 
winning plant carried 323 well 
developed pods. Packet, 10 cts., 
pipt, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., post- 
id. Peck, $1.75. 
DPREER’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. Itisa thick meaty 
bean, of extra good flavor and 
high food value. The plant grows 
412 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 ets.;
