LIMA BEANS. 



DREER'S BUSH LIMA OR POTATO 

 BEAN. — This is a great market bean. The garden- 

 ers around this section plant largely of this variety to 

 ship green to New York and other northern markets. 

 They often receive as much as $4.00 per half-barrel 

 basket for their first pickings. The bean is very thick 

 and plump, rather than flat and oval ; it is very meaty, 

 of excellent flavor and high table quality. It is very 

 productive of pods always well filled : they remain 

 green a long time after maturing. The pods are 

 crammed so full that a basket of green pods will yield 

 half the quantity of shelled beans. Pkt., 10c ; pt,

 mences to bear ten days ahead of any other variety and 

 remains full until killed by frost. Pkt.. 10c ; pt, 25c ;

 the best for main crop ; standard for market or family 



use, which nothing can displace from popular favor. 

 The vines begin to produce pods near the foot of the 

 pole, and the bearing season continues without inter- 

 ruption until frost. Pods are large and well filled 

 with mammoth size, delicious beans. I know of no 

 other that will equal it. Pkt, 10c ; pt, 25c. ; qt, 50c,

♦DANISH BALLHEAD.— Choice Imported Seed. 

 This famous cabbage was first Introduced from Den- 

 mark about 25 years ago, and our seed of this variety 

 Is of the best strain. It Is highly esteemed for winter 

 use because of the great solidity and excellent keep- 

 ing qualities of the heads. The* heads are more solid 

 than those of any other variety grown, and will weigh 

 about one-fourth more than any other variety of the 

 same size. You will notice in your market quotations 

 of fall and winter cabbage that Danish Ballhead Is 

 always quoted higher than other kinds. Pkt., 5c. ; oz.,
