**'""LARCE BUSH LIMA. Has become immensely popular. The plants come true from seed 

 and the dwarf habit has become well fixed. They grow into splendid branching, circular bushes 18 or 20 

 inches high and 2 or 3 feet across. The strong constitution of the plant is shown in its stout, thick stalks 

 and l^rge, deep green, leathery leaves, as much as in its enormous yield of thick, broad, handsome pods, 

 whiah are as large and well filled as those of the Pole Limas ; as mainy as 200 pods have been counted on a 

 single plant. Identical in size and flavor with the Pole Limas. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 15 cts., qt. 30 cts. 

 \/ DREER'S, or KUMERLE'S BUSH LIMA. This variety is of strong, bushy habit, and produces 

 Tts pods in great abundance. The Beans are crowded thickly in the pods and are thick, sweet and succu- 

 lent. Pkt. 10 cts., pt 15 cts., qt. 30 cts. 



jB*^ HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. Is two weeks earlier than the Pole Limas, and the bushes bear long 

 and continuall)'. The Beans are of the small Sieva type. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 13 cts., qt. 25 cts. 



POLE, or RUNNING BEANS. 



(©tangen SSo^nen.) 



Pole Beans are not so hardy as the Bush sorts, and should be planted several weeks later, when danger 

 from frost is over. Plant the seeds in slightly raised hills 3 or 4 feet apart, 4 or 5 seeds to the hill. The 

 Limas are especially tender, and the rule for late outside planting with them is rigid. Painstaking culti- 

 vators, who are usually the most successful, plant them eye downward, after setting stout poles for every 

 hill. All sorts of late-ripening Pole Beans are benefited by pinching the tips of the vines back when they 

 are about 5 feet high. A quart of Limas will plant about 100 hills; a quart of the smaller sorts about 200. 



POLE LIMA BEANS. 



KING OF THE GARDEN. An improvement on the Large Lima with large Beans and pods and 

 more productive habit. When not too closly planted, the vines set Beans early and bear continuously
