DREER'S BUSH LIMA BEAN. 



The dry summer of 1893 proved the value of our Bush Limas in producing earlier and more abundant crops than the pole 

 varieties. Market gardeners who planted them made a profitable investment. Dreer's Bush Lima is of vigorous, bushy habit, 

 growing from lh to 2 feet high, and producing pods in great 

 abundance. The beans grow close together in the pods, pro- 

 ducing 3 or 4 and sometimes 5 in a pod, and are very thick, 

 sweet and succulent. It ripens fully ten days earlier than the 

 pole Lima, and requires no poles or stakes whatever. Per 

 pkt., 10 Cts. ; pint, 30 cts. ; qt, 50 Cts. 



Burpee's Bush Lima 

 Bean. 



This is a true bush form of the Large Lima Bean, which 

 originated a few years ago in Chester county, Pa. The per- 

 manency of this strain appears to have been fixed from it> 

 i. as successive crops have developed and perpetuated the 

 dwarf form without variation. It is not as early nor as free a 

 bearer as the Dreer's Bush Lima, but will no doubt be largely 

 grown in the future, particularly where poles are inaccessible 

 or undesirable. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; pint, 30 cts. ;_qt., 50 cts. 



Jackson Wonder Bean. 



A wonderfully prolific dwarf bean, growing from 18 to 30 

 inches high; seeds broad, flat and beautifully variegated, sim- 

 ilar in shape to the Lima, and can be used in the same way. 

 When the pods are young thev make excellent snap beans. It 

 is not waxy and cooks easily and quickly. Valuable as a 

 forage plant, yielding an immense crop of ensilage or dry 

 fodder. Pkt., 10 cts. ; pint, 20 cts. ; qt., 40 cts. 



Since printing the body of our Catalogue we have received 

 from our growers a larger quantity of the Bush Lima Beans 

 than from first reports we were led to expect. We are 

 therefore pleased to reduce the prices as above.
