 cal, curved with splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground. They become 

 fit for use as green shelled beans veiy early and in this condition the beans 

 are very large, easily shelled and are about equal to the Lima in quality. 

 Seed large, oval, plump, flesh colored and nearly covered with splashes of 

 bright red. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50 



Vines large, erect and vigorous; pods large, long, 

 flat, usually curved, green when young, but as 

 they mature are splashed and striped with crimson. Green beans very large, 

 splashed with red and of fine quality. Seed like Dwarf Horticultural but

Vines large, spreading, exceed- 

 ingly hardy, with small, smooth

The following four Bush or Sncqy sorts are 

 also extensively planted as field beans. 



Early Marrow Pea, or Dwarf White Navy 



A variety developed in western New York Is a sure cropper 

 and not only more prolific than the common white bean but also 

 of better quality. Vine large, spreading, with small, thin leaves 

 and occasional runners, ripening its crop early and all at once. 

 Pods straight, short, small, but usually containing six beans; 

 beans small, oval, Avhite, handsome and of superior quality.

Viri*al#:»«« MariTi-w A splendid bean for field culture. Plant 

 V iiicicaa xvi«xi luw \^y^Q strong and vigorous, but compact 

 and without runners, bearing Its crop in the center and well up 

 from the ground. The dry beans are very large, very white, 

 cook quickly and are of exceptionally good quality. A wonder- 

 fully prolific and valuable • sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 

 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.00 



Vines 

 large, 



slender, spreading, with short runners and small leaves;

large, ovoid, clear white, cooking very dry and mealy.

Dwarf Large White Lima 



DWARF LIMAS 



This comparatively new oS of Limas cannot be recom- 

 mended too highly. The 'J- ins 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 Kwa"5"fo™ ^f 



the Small Lima valuable on that account, and because of 

 its extreme earliness. Vires 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 foliage; pods short, flat and containing 

 two to four beans which are of excellent quality either 

 green shelled or dry. Seed small, flat and white. 

 Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $7.50 



A fine new bean introduced 

 by Di-eer. Similar to Dwarf 

 Large White Lima, but pods larger, borne more in the cen- 

 ter 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. Pkt. 10c; Pt.35c; 

 Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $7.50 



A bush form of the 

 true Large White 

 Lima and of equally good quality. Plants uniformly 

 dwarf, but enormously 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 med- 

 ium size, flat, white, Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c; 

 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $7.50 



Kumerle Bush Lima t^^^'^iZf, "h'at'g^'S'e 



same thick pods and large, thick beans which have made 

 the Challenger so popular. The plant, while fully as 

 dwarf, is hardier and matures its crop earlier than the 

 Dwarf Large White Lima. Many consider this sort the 

 best of the Dwarf Limas. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c; 

 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $8.00 



If beans are ordered by mail or express prepaid, add 10 

 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart, for charges.
