DUVARF VARIETIES 

 OF S1IEI.E BEANS. 



Michigan Wonder Pea Bean. This variety 

 of Pea Bean will outyield all others, and is

 in contact with the soil. The seed is round

 soil has become warm in the spring. Make the rows 2 feet apart and give to each plant 6 inches space in the row. A top- 

 dressing of poultry manure, ashes, or some good fertilizer or compost around the plants will be of much benefit in hastening 

 maturity and increasing the yield. 



Dreer's Wonder Bush Lima. This variety of Bush Lima 

 Bean is very desirable on account of earliness and productive- 

 ness. The plants are of strong, upright growth, and are com- 

 pletely covered with large pods, many of which contain four
