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.
