BUSH LIMA BEANS. 



«S"FIne Crops of Delicious Llmas are now Grown without Poles. 



BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. This Bean has become immensely popu-

 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 large, deep green, leathery leaves, as much as in its 

 enormous yield of thick, broad, handsome pods, which are as large and well 

 filled as those of the Pole Limas ; as many as 200 pods have been counted on 

 a single plant. Identical in size and flavor with the Pole Limas, having the 

 same'rich, buttery taste. Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 15 cts., qt. 30 cts., pk. $1.75.

POLE, or RUNNING BEANS. 



(©tangen 53ohtten.) 

 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 cultivators, 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 joo hills ; a quart of the 

 smaller sorts about 200.
