BEANS-DWARF LIMA 



Refugee, or Thousand to One 



This comparatively new class of 

 Limas cannot be recommended too 

 highly. The beans can be grown 

 and gathered much more easily 

 than the pole Limas and are fully 

 as good in quality. Every home 

 garden should have at least one 

 planting of them. 



Bush Lima, or Dwarf Sieva ^^ ^^s? ^ a 



dwarf form of the Small Lima valuable on that 

 account and because of its extreme earliness. 

 Vines are without runners but continue to grow 

 and set pods until stopped by frost. Leaves small 

 and very dark green; borne in clusters and often 

 above the fohage; pods short, flat and containing 

 two to four beans which are of excellent quality 

 either green shelled or dry. Seed small, flat and

fine new bean 

 ^ ^ _ t r o d u c e d by 



Dreer. Similar to Dwarf Large White Lima, but 

 pods larger borne more in the center of the vine 

 and mature a little earlier. The vine also is less 

 inclined to form an occasional runner and we 

 think is more productive. Green beans and the 

 seeds like those of Dwarf Large "White Lima.

Dwarf Large White Lima tt^l^SlfSSrli 



White Lima and of equally good quality. Plants uni- 

 formly dwarf, but enoi'mously productive. Pods as 

 large as those of the Pole variety and contain from three 

 to five very large, flat beans of the best quality. Seed 

 of medium size flat, white. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Ot. 35c:

K.rsmp'r]^ RiksK I Ima ^ dwarf form of the Chal- 



ivumerie ousn i^ima j^^g^j. ^^^^^ having the 



same thick pods and large, thick beans which have 

 made the Challenger so popular. The plant, while ful- 

 ly as dwarf, is hardier and matures its crop earlier than 

 the Dwarf Large White Lima, 

 the best of the Dwarf Limas.
