CUZiTUBE. — Place in rows eisrhteen inches apart; drop two beans every two or three 

 inches. Plant from end of February, and for succession, every two or three weeks to 

 May. Bush Beans planted in this latitude during- June and July will not produce much, 

 Augrust and September are good months in which to plant ag-ain; they will produce 

 abundantly until killed by the frost. Do not cover the seeds more than two inches. 

 One quart to 150 feet of drill. 1^4 bushels to acre. 



Henderson's Dwarf Iiima. 



HBNDBBSON'S BUSH I.IMA.— This is a 

 Dwarf Butter Bean, g-rowing from 18 to 

 24 inches high. It is early and productive. 

 It should be called Dwarf Carolina or 

 Sewee Bean, as the pods are the size of 

 that variety. 



STBCKIiBB'S NBW CAI.ICO BUSH 

 BUTTER. — A very early variety, making 

 strong-, vigorous vines, branching- out with 

 many shoots or stems and bearing clusters 

 of beans from bottom to top. When in 

 full bearing- it is easy for one picking the 

 beans to grather a handful of nice beans at 

 a single g-rasp. The flavor of this bean is 

 excellent; it is used either as a green bean 

 or dry shelling. When g-athered green it 

 is a beautiful waxy white color and at ma- 

 turity it has a mingled color of white, 

 brown and red, making it a distinctive 

 calico variety. 



FOBDHOOK BUSH LIMA.— The green 

 beans, even when of full size, are tender, 

 juicy and sweet in flavor when cooked, re- 

 sembling- the flavor of the finer varieties of 

 large flat Lima — as distinct from the 

 rather dry and mealy character of all 

 other varieties of the Potato, Challenger, 

 or Lima type. 



BUBFBB'S BUSH IiIMA. — The pods are 

 of same size as the Large Pole Lima and 

 of same flavor. 



THE "BUBFEE IMFBOVED" BUSH 

 LIMA. — A distinct "New Creation" by na- 

 ture, and not merely an improved selection 

 developed by man. It differs from the best 

 strains of Burpee's Bush Lima in having 

 uniformly much larger pods, producing 

 more beans, while both pods and beans 

 are not only larger in size but also consid- 

 erably thicker. 



WHITE WAX. — A desirable snap bean. 

 Pods are broad, flat, yellow and semi- 

 transparent when boiled, and is of a deli- 

 cate flavor, 



DWABF FLAGEOLET WAX. — A robust 

 grrowing- sort with large fine yellow pods. 



DETBOIT OB BUST FBOOF WAX.— 



This splendid wax bean is very productive 

 and hardy; pods straight, flat and some- 

 what broader than the Dwarf Golden Wax. 

 The beans, when well g-rown, are of a 

 beautiful g-olden yellow. 



Yard Lon?. 



YABD LONG. — This is an interesting- 

 curiosity. In the South it will in ordinary 

 seasons produce late in the Summer a 

 large crop of the long-, slender, round pods 

 which are of excellent quality for snap- 

 shorts. The round pods averag-e two feet 

 or more in length, having- the thickness of 

 a lead pencil.
