USH LIMA BEANS. 



THE BUSH LIMA BEANS ARE RAPIDLY GAINING 

 FRIENDS AND HAVE EVIDENTLY COME TO STAY. 



DREER'S BUSH LIMA. 



A DWARF variety of the Dreer's Improved Lima, 

 which has been fixed in its character of a bush 

 Bean; it is very prolific, single plants often 

 producing from 150 to 200 pods. Equal in quality 

 and tenderness to Dreer's Pole Lima. Pt., 15c. Qt., 

 30c. Peck, $1.85. Bushel, $7.00. 



HENDERSON'S DWARF 

 LIMA. 



These are valuable be- 

 cause they do not' need 

 poles, and being - so 

 dwarf can be plant- 

 ed close together. 



They are very 

 early and prolific, 

 continuing to bear 

 until frost.

 Qt., 30c. 

 Peck, $1.75. 

 Bushel, $6.50. 



BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. 



THE bushes grow 18 to 20 inches high, stout growth and always erect, yet branching so vigor- 

 ously that each plant develops into a magnificent circular bush, from 2 to 3 feet in diameter. 

 The bush character is thoroughly established, not one plant in a thousand showing any dis- 

 position "to run." It is an immense yielder, each bush bearing from 50 to 200 of the handsome 

 large pods, well filled with very large Beans, which are identical in size and luscious flavor to the 

 well-known large Pole Limas. By the introduction of this most valuable novelty the largest and 

 best Lima Beans can now be raised in quantity at little cost, without the expense and labor 

 attached to the use of poles. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Peck, $1.85. Bushel, $7.00. 



POLE LIMA BEANS. 



FORD'S MAMMOTH POLE LIMA BEAN — The pods grow to an average length of 8 inches, 

 are produced in great clusters, with from 5 to 7 Beans per pod, of most excellent quality, for 

 using either green or dry. The vines grow vigorously, setting the Beans early at the bottom of 

 the pole, and continue in bearing up to frost. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Peck, $1.85. Bushel, $7.00. 



EXTRA EARLY JERSEY LIMA.— This variety is 2 weeks earlier than other sorts; the pods 

 are large and numerous, making it a very profitable sort to grow. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Peck, 

 $1.75. Bushel, $6.50. 



EXTRA LARGE LIMA. — This is a splendid sort, and takes a leading place with growers, 

 because of its many excellent qualities. As a shell Bean, surpasses all in quality, and is the 

 favorite with most people. The Beans are very large and tender and of delicious flavor. Pt., 

 15c. Qt., 30c. Peck, $1.75. Bushel, $6.50. 



DREER'S IMPROVED, OR CHALLENGE POLE LIMA.— This popular Bean is considered 

 by many growers superior to all others in quality and productiveness. When green it is as large 

 as the large Lima, thicker, sweeter and more tender and nutritious, remaining green in the pod 

 for a long time after maturing. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Peck, $1.75. Bushel, $6.50. 



KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA.— This Bean has met with enormous sales the past few 

 seasons. They are vigorous growers, setting their Beans early at bottom of pole, producing 

 continuously to the end of the season. They are more prolific than the ordinary Lima, bearing 

 pods 5 to 7 inches long in clusters of 4 and 5, with 5 to 6 Beans in a pod. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. 

 Peck. $1.75. .Bushel, $6.50. ,

POLE BEANS. 



ET THE POLES 3 or 4 feet apart and plant 6 to 8 Beans, with the eyes downward, around 

 S each pole, thinning to 4 healthy plants when they are up. They require the same soil and 

 treatment as the Dwarf varieties, with the exception that they crave stronger soil and do 

 best in a sheltered location. 



MARYLAND WHi'iE. — This new White Pole Bean is destined to take its place as one of 

 the best Beans ever grown for general purposes. Its thick, meaty, green pods are very tender, 

 rich in flavor, and produced in great abundance. It is equally valuable as a snap or shell Bean. 

 It has been grown in Maryland to a very limited extent for a few years, and those who have 

 grown it once want it again. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Peek, $2.00. Bushel, $7.00. 



LAZY WIFE. — Large, pale green pods, very thick-meated, stringless, rich, tender and 

 buttery; ripers early; clings well to the pole; enormously productive; splendid either as a snap 

 or shell Bean; retains its exquisite flavor until nearly ripe. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Peck, $1.75. 

 Bushel, $6.50. 



KENTUCKY WONDER. — A very prolific sort, bearing its pods in large clusters; pods green, 

 often reaching 9 or 10 inches in length, nearly round when young, and very crisp. Pt., 15c. Qt., 

 30c. Peck, $1.85. Bushel $7.00. 



SPECKLED HORTICULTURAL, OR WREN'S EGG.— An old favorite for both snap-shorts 

 and dry Beans. Pt., 15c. Qt., 35c. Peck. $1.65. Bushel, $6.00.

 creased along its back; hence its name. This variety is especially valuable for its extreme 

 earliness and its habit of perfecting all of its pods at the same time. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Peck, 

 $1.75. ■Rnshel, $«.00. 



SOUTHERN PROLIFIC— A splendid, vigorous and productive variety. Pods in clusters, 

 succulent and delicious: matures quite early and continues bearing until frost. Pt., 15c. Qt., 

 gOn. p P nk, $1.50. Bushel. $5.50. 



SPECKLED CUT-SHORT. OR CORN-HILL.— An old variety, very popular for planting 

 among Corn, and will give a good crop, without the use of poles; vines medium, with dark-col- 

 ored, smooth leaves; pods short, cylindrical and tender. Pt.. 15c. Qt., 25c. Pk., $1.50. Bus., $5.50. 



DUTCH CASE KNIFE. — Vines moderately vigorous, climbing well, but not twining so tightly 

 as some, and so maybe used for a corn-hill Bean. Leaves large, crumpled; blossoms white; 

 pods very long, flat irregular, green, but becoming cream white; Beans broad, kidney-shaped, 

 flat, clear white, and of excellent quality, green or dry. Pt., 15c. Qt., 30c. Pk., $1.75. Bus., $6.
