BURPEE'S ^ Bush * Lima 



The Only Bush Form of the True Large Lima Bean. 



BURPEE'S BTJSH LIMA is uni- 

 versally conceded to be alto- 

 gether unique, and the most val-. 

 naMe novelty of tlie age. It 



is the first and only true bush form 

 of the luscious large Lima Bean. It 

 comes absolutely true from 

 seed. The bushes grow eighteen to 

 twenty inches high, of stout growth 

 and always erect, yet tranching so 

 vigorously that each plant develops 

 into a magnificent circular bush,/?'0»* 

 two feet to three feet in diameter. The 

 bush character is thoroughly estab- 

 lished, not one plant in a thousand 

 showing any disposition to "run." 

 The thickness of the main stalk and 

 branches of the plant, as also the 

 unusual size, healthy green color, 

 and thick leathery substance of the 

 leaves, indicate the strong constitu- 

 tion of this variety, by which it is 

 enabled to bear large crops, alid i? 

 also a sure cropper. It is an immense 

 yielder, each bush bearing from .50 to 

 200 of the handsome large pods, well 

 BURPKfc's Busu L131A BKAN. filled with Very large beans, which 



are identical in size and luscious flavor to the ivell-knoivn large pole Limas. By the introduction of this 

 most valuable novelty the largest and best Lima Beans can now be raised in quantity at small cost, without 

 the expense and labor attached to the use of poles. Plant when soil becomes warm, in rows 2 feet apart and 

 fully 12 inches between the plants.

O O LU M B I A BEET. 



THR handsome appearance of this new Beet is well 

 shown in the illustration. The roots are of a neat 

 turnip-'Nhiipe, with smooth skin and deep blood-red 

 flesh, of rich, tend«'r quality. It is ready to use very early, 

 growing as quickly as does the Egyptian, while it does 

 not become coarse and stringy. Compared with such 

 famous sorts as Ediiiand's and Eclipse, the Columbia has 

 proved as early and even better in quality than tht'se 

 two really first-class varieties. In habit of growth it is 

 remarkably thoroughbred, the foliage being small, neat, 

 and of a rich bronze color. VW are sure that market gar- 

 deners will find it a splendid variety, while its fine flavor 

 as a table beet will delight all private planters.
