Henderson's Bush Lima. 



HENDERSON'S BUSH 1.1MA.— This is a 

 Dwarf Butter Bean, g-rowing- from 18 to 

 24 inches hig-h. It is early and productive. 

 It should be called Dwarf Carolina or 

 Sewee Bean, as the pods are the size of 

 that variety. 



STECKZiER'S NEW CAI^ICO BXTSH 

 BUTTER. — A very early variety, bearing 

 clusters of beans from bottom to top. The 

 flavor of this bean is excellent; it is used 

 either as a green bean or for dry shelling 

 When gathered green it is a beautiful 

 waxy white color and at maturity it has 

 a mingled color of white, brown and red, 

 making it a distinctive calico variety. 



FORDHOOE BUSH IiIMA. — 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. 



BURPEE'S BUSH XiIMA. — The pods are 

 ,of same size as the Large Pole Lima and 

 of the same flavor. 



THE "BURPEE IMPROVED" BUSH 

 ]&IMA. — 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 considerably 

 thicker. 



WHITE WAX. — A desirable snap bean. 

 Pods are broad, flat, yellow and semi- 

 transparent when boiled, and is of a deli- 

 cate flavor. 



DETROIT OR RUST PROOF 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 full grown, are of a 

 beautiful golden yellow. 



YARD l^ONG. — Produce late in the Sum- 

 mer a large crop of the long, slender, 

 round pods which are of excellent quality 

 for snap-shorts. The round pods average 

 two feet or more in length, having the 

 thickness of a lead pencil. 



WARDWEi;i;'S KIDNEY WAX.— One of ! 



the most profitable varieties for the market 

 gardener; especially popular in the South; j 

 long, straight, cream yellow pods of ex- 

 cellent quality; plant medium sized, ma- ] 

 turing a little later than Golden Wax. 

 This splendid variety is now a popular 

 favorite everywhere, not only for shipping, i 

 but for the local market and the home. i 



DAVIS WAX. — The pods are clear waxy 

 white, long, straight and thick. It is very 

 early, productive and handsome in appear- 

 ance. The plant is of a sturdy robust 

 habit, which enables it to hold up the 

 pods from coming in contact with the soil. 

 Good for shipping. 



KEENEY'S RUSTI.ESS GOI.DEN WAX. 



This is the long looked for bean, combining 

 hardiness and productiveness with fine 

 quality. A strong growing bush variety of 

 remarkable vigor and freedom from rust. 



IMPROVED PROI.IFIC DWARF GER- 

 MAN WAX. — This variety is a great im- 

 provement on its parent the Dwarf 

 German Wax. Pods are longer and more 

 productive, with the good qualities of the 

 old kind. 



GRENEIiIi'S IMPROVED RUST PROOF 

 DWARF GOI.DEN WAX.— The pods are 

 straight, long and fleshier than Golden 

 Wax, superior in quality and positively 

 "Rust Proof," quite an object with us 

 here in the South, when we often have 

 rainy weather in the spring, which is in- 

 jurious to most wax beans. 



ROUND POD KIDNEY WAX.— -Brittle 



wax; long, round, yellow pods, stringless; 

 an exceedingly desirable variety, especially 

 for the table and home market. Growth 

 dwarf, spreading; very productive. 



CURRIE'S RUST PROOF WAX.— This is 

 an early, productive, good bean, having 

 long, flat, yellow pods of fine quality. Foli- 

 age healthy and rust proof. 



DWARF FI.AGEOI.ET WAX.— A robust 

 growing sort with large fine yellow pods. 



HODSON WAX. — Strong, healthy growth 

 and resists rust and blight to a remark- 

 able degree. Remarkably prolific, the plant 

 being loaded with long, straight handsome 

 pods. The pods are brittle, tender, of fine 

 texture and splendid flavor. An excellent 

 main crop sort for shipping and market, 

 as well as for home use. 



EARIiY MOHAWK SIX WEEKS. — A long: 



podded variety, and very hardy. It is used 

 to a great extent for the market for the 

 first planting; very productive. 



EARI.Y YELLOW SIX WEEKS.— Growth 



and maturity very similar to the Mohawk 

 and is a very popular variety in the South; 

 pods long and flat; very productive and 

 ripens about the same time.
