DWARF LIMA BEANS.

This objection

These may safely rank as the most valuable 

 vegetable introductions of recent years. Lima 

 Beans have always been popular, but many have 

 been prevented from growing them from the fact 

 that poles are required for their successful culture, 

 has been removed, and I am pleased to present the three leading 

 varieties, from which my customers may make selections. Each 

 01 them possess their own peculiar points of merit. I earnestly 

 hope that all will try them. No garden is complete, no table is 

 properly supplied without them. 



'NEW JACKSON WONDER BUSH LIMA— Grows from 18 to 30 inches 

 high, immensely productive and verj- early. Pods broad and flat, 

 containing from three to four beautiful variegated flat beans, 

 similar to the well known Lima, and in the dry state as shell 

 beans can be used the same as the Lima, but when the pods are 

 young they make excellent snap beans. It cooks easily and 

 quickly in fact, fills all the requirements for a good garden variety as well as a field sort. l< pt. 15c. pt. C.ic. qt. 40c. 

 HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA — Popular variety, valuable on accouQt of its earliness and wonderful productiveness, continuing to grow 

 and set pods until stopped by frost. Tines are without runners, leaves small, bright green and Lima like ; flowers small, yellowish 

 white, borne ia clusters and often above the foliage. Pods short, flat, and contain from three to five beans, which are of delicious 

 quality. Try it. pt. r2c, pt. 2-ic. qt. I ~ I 40c 



BURPEE'S BUSH J.iMiA-Burpee's Bush Lima REMEMBER! comes absolutely pure from seed. The 



bushes grow ..8 to 20 inches high, of stout „. *■ i t» nh, n growth and always erect, yet branching so 



vigorously chat each plant develops into Anat i irepay ttiarges on Beans ^ magnificent circular bush, from two to 

 three foet in diameter. The bush char- by the pint, pint and quart. acter is thoroughly established, not one 



plan<^ in a thousand showing any disposi- tion 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 

 tbe strong constitution of this variety. Immense yielder, each bush bearing from 100 to 200 handsome large pods well filled with 

 very large beans, which are identical in size and luscious flavor to the well-known large pole Lima. 3-, ptT 12c, pt. 22c, qt. 40c. 



MERITORIOUS GREEN PODDED BUSH BEANS. 



NEW STRINGLESS GREEN POD— Is most happily named, as it is 



quite unique — the only absolutely stringless green podded bean 

 in toe market. The" pod is round, full, larger and straighter 

 than those of most other varieties. The quality is most superior. 

 The Michigan State Agricultural College Experiment Station 

 writes: "Plants of medium growth. Pods 4^^^ to t>)4 inches 

 long, nearly round, slightly curved, light green in color, flesh 

 tender and "of best quality. The pods remain long in edible con- 

 dition : even when the beans are large, the pods are not stringy. 

 Valuable for good quality and lack of stringiness." Y&a wiU 

 make no mistake by planting this splendid new variety either for 

 family or market purposes. ]4 pt. 12c, pt. 20c, qt. 35c. 



I will also supply the following varieties of Green Podded 

 Bush Beans, which are too well known to need extended 

 descriptions, at the uniform price of }4 V'^- Sc. pt. 15c, qt. 28c.
