Dwarf rlortlCUltUral large leaves. Pods medium length, cj^indri- 

 cal, curved with splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground. They become 

 fit for use as green shelled beans very early and in this condition the beans 

 are very large, easily shelled and are about equal to the Lima in quahty. 

 Seed laree, oval, plump, flesh colored and nearly covered with splashes of 

 bright red. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $6.00

Tlie following four Bush or Snap sorts are 

 also extensively planted as field beans. 



Early Marrow Pea, or Dwarf White Navy 



A variety developed in western New York. Is a sure cropper 

 and not only more prolific than the common white bean but also 

 of better quality. Vine large, spreading, with small, thin leaves 

 and occasional runners, ripening its crop early and all at once. 

 Pods straight, short, small, but usually containing six beans; 

 beans small, oval, whice, handsome and of superior quality.

Vin *»!*»«« Mar rniAT A splendid bean for field culture. Plant 

 V uicicss iTAaiiuw large, strong and vigorous, but compact 



and without runners, bearing its crop in the center and well up 



from the ground. The dry beans are very large, very white, 



cook quickly and are of exceptionally good quality. A wonde'r- 



fully prolific and valuable sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 



4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.35 



Large White Marrow, or Mountain laV^ge^

FORDHOOK Bush Lima 



DWARF LIMAS 



This comparatively new class of Limas cannot be recommended 

 too highly. The beans can be grown and gathered much more easily 

 than the pole Limas and are fully as good in quality. Every home 

 garden should have at least one planting of them. 



r»if« r\ £ C* (Henderson's) A dwarf 



iSUStl Lama, or Uwarr pieva form of the Small Lima, 

 valuable on that account, and'because of its extreme earliness. 

 Vines are without runners, but continue to grow and set pods 

 until stopped by frost. Leaves small and very dark green; borne 

 in clusters and often above the foliage; pods short, flat and contain- 

 ing two to four beans which are of excellent quality either green 

 shelled or dry. Seed smaU, flat and white. Pkt. lOc; Pt. 35c; 

 Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $7.50 



\\T J D 1_ f • A fine new bean introduced by Dreer. 



W Onder DUSn L.inia similar to Dwarf Large "^^Tiite Lima, 

 but pods larger, borne more in the center of the vine and mature a 

 little earlier. The vine also is less inclined to form an occasional 

 runner and we think is more productive. Green beans, and the 

 seeds like those of Dwarf Large ■\Miite Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; 

 Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu.$8.00 



Dr f iU7i_»i I • A bush form of the true 



Warr Large White Lima Large white Lima and of 

 equally good quality. Plants uniformly dwarf, but enormously 

 productive. Pods as large as those of the pole variety and contain 

 from three to five very large, flat beans of the best quality. Seed 

 of medium size, flat, white. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c; 

 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $8.00 



pii iDl.r* -^ improved dwarf Lima of the 



rordnOOK DUSn L.ima Kumerle type. The plant is vigorous 

 and erect growing, bearing w^ell above the ground. The pods are 

 produced in large clusters, each containing three to five large beans 

 of exceptionally fine quality. Much more productive than Kumerle 

 and matures earlier. We consider this a decided acquisition to 

 the dwarf Limas, possibly the best of the class. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; 

 Qt. 60c; 4 Qts. $3.00; Bu.$13.50 



j^ 1 D 1. I * -^ dwarf form of the Challenger Lima, 



JS.Umerle DUSn Lima having the same thick pods and large, 

 thick beans which have made the Challenger so popular. The plant, 

 while fully as dwarf, is hardier and matures its crop earlier than 

 the Dwarf Large White Lima. Many consider this sort the best of 

 the Dwarf Limas. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; 

 Bu. $8.00
