 XiT-i., c* 1 1 D 1 Similar to, but later maturing than 

 VVnite OlCkle r^Ole Kentucky Wonder, and the dry 

 beans are white, more slender and curved and the pods are 

 a httle more slender than those of that variety. We think 

 this sort an improvement over the Kentucky Wonder in that 

 it has the advantage of a white seed and so does not discolor 

 in cooking. It is certainly a splendid variety and is grown 

 with great success in the south, where many think it the 

 best pole bean in cultivation. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c;

 Wire beans for snaps. The pods, borne in large 

 clusters, are five to seven inches long, broad, thick, flesh}" and 

 entirely stringless. TSTien young they have a rich, buttery 

 flavor 'which is retained until they are nearly ripe. The dry- 

 beans are excellent for winter use. Seed white. Pkt. 10c;

POLE LIMAS 



SmaJI White Lima, 



C 'U !.» r 1 f • Practical value has been the 



OeiDert S Harly i^ima object aimed at in the devel- 

 opment of this grand variety fixst introduced by us in 

 1S95. It is the outcome of the labors of a skillful market 

 gardener who selected for several years the largest green 

 beans from the thinnest and most easily opened pods. In 

 earhness. ease of sheUing. size, beauty and quality of the 

 green beans, this variety is far ia advance of all other 

 early Limas for either the garden or market. The vine 

 is very productive and continues so from the very fii'st 

 to the "last of the season: so that although thepods rarely 

 contain more than four beans the total yield is enormous. 

 The green shelled beans are of immense size, very tender 

 and of finest quality. The beans shrink in drying so 

 that the seed is about the size of the Large ' White 

 Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50;

U 1 D 1 f * ^^^ °-^ ^^^ largest and most val 



iaeal r Ole Liima uable Lima beans yet introduced. 

 The vine is unusually vigorous in growth and is very 

 productive, bearing large clusters of broad pods each sis 

 to eight inches long, and containing four to six large beans 

 of most excellent quality. While the variety matures a 

 httle later than Seibert's Early Lima, the pods are much 

 larger and no Lima gi'own is more attractive in appear- 

 ance. A splendid acquisition for market gardeners.

Pods very long, filled -^-ith four or five immense white 

 beans of the finest quality. On account of its large pods 

 it is a favorite with market gardeners. It ^^ill come into 

 bearing sooner and will make larger pods if not more 

 than two vines are left to grow on a pole. Pkt. 10c;

 earlier. Tine tali growing, vigorous, but slender; leaves 

 medium sized, smooth, li^lit green, pods borne in clusters,

King 



Ideal Pole Lima 



Challenger Lima 



The vines of this splendid sort 

 are ver>' stout, vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. The pods are much thicker than those of the 

 other Limas and contain from four to five beans which 

 are large, thick, white and of the best quahty. It is early 

 and continues to produce large clusters of pods tmtil cut 

 off by frost. One of the most popular of the later varie- 

 ties with the New York market gardeners. This is similar 

 to. but a decided improvement on what is kno"mi as 

 Dreer's Improved Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c;
