Who Ever Heard of a Picnic Without 



Pickled Beets? 



LIMA BEANS 



One pound is about 1 pint; 2 pounds, about 1 quart; 

 IS pounds, about 1 peck 



BUSH 



CuLTXTRE. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, dropping 

 the Beans 8 to 12 inches apart and covering 1 H to 



2 inches deep. If planted in hills, make the hills 



3 feet apart one way and feet the other, and 

 plant 4 Beans in a hill. Hoe often, but only when 

 the leaves are dry. 



Burpee's. Bushes grow 18 to 20 inches 

 high, are stout and always erect, yet 

 branching so vigorously that each plant 

 develops into a magnificent circular bush 

 2 to 3 feet in diameter. An immense 

 yielder, each bush bearing 50 to 200 hand- 

 some, large, well-filled pods. Lb. 25 cts.; 

 2 lbs. 40 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.50. 



Burpee's Improved. Will outyield Burpee's 

 Bush Lima by fully one-third. This greater 

 yield is due to the increased size of both 

 pod and Beans. The dried Beans gener- 

 ally show a greenish white coloring, while 

 dried Beans of the Burpee Bush Lima, like 

 those of the Large Pole Lima, are pure 

 white. Lb. 25 cts.; 2 lbs. 45 cts.; 15 lbs. 

 $2.50. 



Dreer's. Dwarf variety of Dreer's Im- 

 proved Lima, which has been fixed in its 

 character of a Bush Bean. Very prolific, 

 single plants often producing 150 to 200 

 pods. Equal in quality and tenderness to 

 Dreer's Pole Lima. Lb. 25 cts.; 2 lbs. 

 40 cts.; 15 lbs. S2.75. 



Early Giant. A true Bush Lima Bean, 

 having all the qualities of the old pole 

 varieties. Can be grown easily and earlier 

 than the large bush sorts. They grow 1}^ 

 feet high, with sturdy, upright habit. 

 Pods contain usually 4 large, thick Beans 

 of superb quality. Lb. 25 cts.; 2 lbs. 50 

 cts.; 15 lbs. S2.30. 



Fordhook. An improved dwarf Lima of the 

 Kumerle type. The plant is vigorous and 

 erect-growing, bearing well above the 

 ground. Pods are produced in large 

 clusters, each containing 3 to 5 large Beans 

 of exceptionally fine quality. Much more 

 productive than Kumerle and matures 

 earlier. We consider this a decided acqui- 

 itions to the dwarf Limas, possibly the best 

 of the class. Lb. 30 cts.; 2 lbs. 50 cts.; 

 15 lbs. S2.50. 



Henderson. These are very valuable, be- 

 cause they are dwarf and can be planted 

 close together. They are very early and 

 prolific, continuing to bear until frost.

 tain 3 or 4 and sometimes 5 large Beans

 of 4 and 5, with 5 or 6 Beans in a pod.
