THE EARLIEST TRUE LIMA 



Practical value has been the object aimed at 

 m the development of this grand variety, which 

 is the outcome of the labors of a skillful market 

 gardener who selected for several years the 

 largest green beans from the thinnest and most 

 easily opened pods.

And is 



The Host Easily 

 Shelled of Any of 

 The Limas. 



The vine is very pro- 

 ductive and exception- 

 ally hardy and vigor- 

 ous. It produces pods 

 very early and the 

 beans are of fine 

 quality. 



The green shelled beans are of immense size but 

 so tender and succulent that they shrink in drying 

 to about the size of the Large White Lima. 



It is Tfie Best Lima Beaq Ever Olfered 



FOR MARKET GARDENERS' USE. 



In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and 

 quality of the green beans, this new variety is far 

 in advance of all other sorts, and must come to 

 be recognized as the best of all for either the gar- 

 den or market. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 26c; Qt. 36c:

SMALL WHITE LIMA, CAROLINA, OR SIEVA. vines 

 vigorous, with many short branches, so that they are some- 

 times grown without poles; very early and productive, with 

 small, smooth, dark green leaves, and small, yellowish-white 

 blossoms; pods short, curved, thin, flat; beans white, small, 

 kidney-shaped. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 80c; 4 Qts. $1.00; 

 Bushel $5.50 ^ 



EARLY JERSEY LIMA, until the introduction of Sei- 

 bert's Early Lima this was considered the earUest of the true 

 Limas. Vines vigorous and productive; leaves large, long, 

 pointed, light green; blossoms white; pods borne in clusters, 

 large, broad, flat, containing three to five beans, which are 

 equal in size and quality to the Large White Lima. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bushel $5.50 



LARGE WHITE LIMA. Too late for the extreme North, 

 but the standard for quality. Vine tall growing, vigorous, 

 but slender; leaves medium sized, smooth, Ught green; blos- 

 soms small, white; pods borne in clusters, long, broad, very 

 thin, dark green; beans large, ovoid, kidney-shaped, greenish- 



white, flat. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c;

CHALLENGER LIMA. The vines of this splendid sort are 

 very stout, vigorous and productive with large thick leaves. 

 The pods are much thicker than those of the other Limas 

 and contain from four to five beans which are large, thick, 

 white, and of the best quality. It is early and continues bearing 

 its closely crowded clusters of pods imtil cut off by frost. 

 One of the most popular varieties with the New York market 

 gardeners. This is similar to, but a decided improvement on 

 what is known as Dreer's Improved Lima. Pkto 10c; Pt. 20c; 

 Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bushel $5.50 



KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA, claimed to be larger, 

 stronger growing, more productive, and with larger pods and 

 beans than the Large White Lima. On account of its large 

 pods it is a favorite with market gardeners in many places. 

 It will come into bearing sooner, and will make larger pods if 

 not more than two vines are left to grow on a pole. Pkto lOc;
