plump beans, as large again as those of Dreer’s or Kumerle Bush Lima. It

Dreer’s Bush Lima. A most satisfactory variety for general crop for the 
market gardener. Though not quite so compact as some other varieties 
the habit of the plant is well fixed. It bears an enormous crop of very attrac- 
tive beans of the same shape as the Dreer’s Improved Pole Lima; just the 
bean the market demands. The beans are produced near the centre of 
the plant in enormous quantities and the plants bear clear up till frost.
