COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



DREER'S RUSH LIMA BEANr 



The above illustration is an exact reproduction of a plant 

 of Dreer's Bush LimaBean, beaiing 185 pods. 



This is a bush form of the 

 Dreer's Pole Lima Bean, and is 

 unquestionably the best of all the 

 dwarf Limas, being vastly su- 

 perior in flavor to the dwarf 

 varieties of the Sieva Lima of 

 recent introduction. 



It grows about two feet high, 

 and is of vigorous branching 

 habit, maturing early; it is very 

 productive; the beans in a green 

 state are not quite as large as 

 the Large Lima, but grow closer 

 together in the pod, are thicker, 

 sweeter, more tender and succu- 

 lent, and remain gteen longer 

 after maturing. For small pri- 

 vate gardens, and wherever the 

 use of poles is inconvenient or un- 

 desirable, it will prove especially 

 valuable, and will, when gener- 

 ally known, supersede all other 

 forms of the dwarf Lima Bean. 

 This Bean should be planted in 

 rows two feet apart, and the 

 plants one foot apart in the row. 

 One plant alone is sufficient to 

 a hill.

thorijiJrN's everbearing Cucumber, 



We believe this to be a valuable novelty. It is 

 described by the introducers as follows: We would 

 call especial attention to this entirely new and 

 unique variety. It is of small size, very early 

 enormously productive and valuable as a green 

 pickler. The peculiar merit of this novelty is that 

 the vines continue to flower and produce fruit until 

 killed by frost, whether the ripe cucumhets are picked off 

 or not, in which respect it differs from all other 

 sorts in cultivation. This cucumber is the earliest 

 grown. Green cucumbers can be picked from vines, 

 from July to October.

EVERBEARING CUCUMBER.

WtflTE PEARL ClJcUAlBER. 



This new variety is the admiration of all 

 gardeners. In habit of growth this variety is en- 

 tirely distinct from any other cucumber. Setting 

 the fruit very close around the stem and matur- 

 ing these early, the vine continues to run and 

 bear freely throughout the season. The color is 

 a beautiful Dearly white; even the young cucum- 

 bers are a very light color, nearly as pure white 

 as when ready for use. They are tender, solid 

 and crisp, and splendid quality, either for slicing 

 or pickling.
