BEANS— Dwarf or Bush. 



Kriip-Bohneni, Ger. Haricots Nains, Fr. FrigoUs, Sp. 



One quart Avill plant one hundred feet of drill. 



The varieties of this class are tender, and will not bear much cold. Plant about the middle of April, if the ground is warm 

 and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finishing about the 15th of August. The best 

 mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the beans 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep in the rows. Keep well hoed, and draw 

 the earth up to the stem, but only when dry ; working them when wet with rain or dew will cause tliem to rust and injure the crop. 

 Note. — Beans of all varieties were an extremely short crop last summer, and prices rule higher. We would also advise 

 early orders, as when stocks in hand are sold it will be impossible to replenish from reliable sources. 



If Beans and Peas are wanted by mail, add 8 cts. 

 per pint, 15 cts. per quart, for postage.

BUSH LIMA BEANS. 



Dreer's Xew Wonder Bush Lima is undoubtedly 

 the earliest Bush Lima Bean in cultivation. We planted a 

 large acreage last spring, hoping to be able to supply the in- 

 creasing demand. The yield was heavy, but unfortunately, 

 after the crop was harvested, and while being threshed, the en- 

 tire lot was mixed with another variety, thus rendering them 

 unfit for seed purposes. Fortunately we had secured sufficient 

 stock for planting next spring, and will again be able to furnish 

 seed of the "Wonder" in 1902. We recommend that our custom- 

 •ers plant Dreer's Bush Lima, as offered below, this year. 



Dreer's Bush Lima. A dwarf variety of the Dreer's 

 Improved Lima which has been fixed in its character of a 

 bush bean ; it is very prolific, single plants often producing 

 from 150 to 200 pods. The beans grow close together in 

 the pods, producing 3 to 4 and sometimes 5 in a pod, and are 

 thick, sweet and succulent, equal in quality and tenderness 

 to Dreer's Pole Lima. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts.; 

 4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2 75. 



Burpee's Bush Lima. A true bush form of the Large 

 White Lima; requires no poles. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; 

 qt., 40 cts.; 4 qts., $1.40; peck, $2 50. 



Henderson's Bush Lima. A dwarf variety of the 

 Sieva or Southern Lima, produces enormous crops two weeks 

 earlier than the climbing Limas. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; 

 qt., 40 cts.; 4 qts., $1.40; ,ieck, $2.50.
