HENDERSON'S NEW BUSH LIMA BEAN. 



This now famous novelty was olTered last season for 

 the first time and met with enormous success, giving 

 complete satisfaction in all quartersof the United States. 

 We give below a description by the introducer : 



"Thousands have been deterred from cultivating 

 the most delicious of vegetables— the Lima Bean — from 

 the great trouble and expense of procuring the unsightly 

 poles on which to grow them. This is now a thuig of 

 the past, as The Ntw Bush Lima grows without the 

 aid of stakes or poles, in compact bush form, from 15 to 

 18 inches high, and produces enormous crops of 

 delicious Lima Beans, which can be as easily gathered 

 as the common Bush Bean. The New Bush Lima is 

 at least two weeks earlier than any of the climbing 

 Limas. This fact alone would stamp it as the most 

 valued novelty of recent years, but when in addition to 

 this we realize that it is a true Bush Bean, requiring no 

 supports, some idea of its great value can be realized." 



The New Bush Lima produces 3. continuous crop 

 from the time it comes into bearing (it is fit for the table 

 in the latitude of New York middle of July) until frost, 

 and being enormously productive, a very small patch 

 will keep a family supplied with this splendid vegetable 

 through the season. The Btans are of the size of the 

 Sieva or Small Lima, and of that delicious quality that 

 has made the Southern Liina so famous. One pint will 

 3, each 50 feet long, which is ample for an ordinary family. We have a fine stock of the Genuine Bush 

 order should include this valuable nfcw variety. Price, per pkt., 20 cts.; 3 pkts. for sects.; 6 pkts. for $1 •

WHITE PEARL CUCUMBER. 



This is undoubtedly the handsomest variety of Cucumber now known 

 Cucumbers being produced very close to the hill, maturuig 

 there early; the vines continue to run and bear freely through- 

 out the season ; when ripe, the color is a beautiful pearly white. 

 They are solid, tender and crisp in taste, of splendid quality 

 for slicing; for pickling in bottles the pure white little fruits 

 must prove very attractive, while their solid, crisp flesh 

 leaves nothing to be desired. The vines are very vigorous 

 in growth and iininetisely productive. They are a little 

 earlier than the Improved White Spine, and their distinct, 

 unique character, superior quality and wonderful productive- 

 ness cannot fail to make THK WHITE PEARL CUCUM-

 the introducer. Per pkt., 20 cts.; 3 pkts. for 50 cts.

 stout, bushy plants producing the fruits upriglit on stiff 

 stems. The fruits are large and handsome, and of a beauti- 

 ful rich, golden yellow, tinged with blush red where exposed 

 to the sun. The Peppers are as mild and pleasant to the 

 taste as Ruby King, even the seeds being free from all fiery 

 flavor. Per pkt , 15 cts.; ^ oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; i^ lb.,
