WARF LIMA 

 BEANS 



This comparatively new class of beans cannot be 



icommended too highly. They 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 these beans. 



/Bush Lima, or Dwarf Sieva 



(HENDERSON'S.) 



A dwarf form of the .Small Lima, and valuable be- 

 cause of its extreme earliness. Viues are without run- 

 ners, but continue to grow and set pods until stopped 

 by frost; leaves small and bright green; flowers small, 

 yellowish- white, borne in clusters and often above the 

 foliage; pods short, flat, and containing two to four 

 beans. Dry beans white, small, and not equal in qual- 

 ity to the Dwarf Large White Lima.

WONDER BUSH LIMA 



JTIKhe new bean introduced by Dreer. It is similar to 

 Dwarf Large White Lima, but the pods are larger, 

 borne more in the center of the vine and mature a lit- 

 tle earlier. The vine also is less inclined to form an 

 occasional runner and we think is more productive.

^Dwarf Large White Lima 



A bush form of the true Lar^e Lima. Plants uniformly 

 dwarf, but enormously productive, single plants, under fa- 

 vorable circumstances, yielding froin 200 to 350 pods. The 

 pods are as large as those of the Large Lima, and contain 

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

 While not quite as early as the Dwarf Sieva. this is incom- 

 parably better in quality, fully equaling in this respect the 

 Large White Lima. Any one who has tried this variety will 

 / wish to plant it again.

J^^ The following four bush, or snap sorts are planted as field beai 



'/^ROAD WINDSOR .. 



(English Dwarf or Broad). This is entirely dis 



tinct from the common or French 



bean. The large, coarse pods are borne 



on stout plants which are coarser, y<%s» 



more erect, and less branched than ..Mw 



those of the French bean. It is largely 



used in Europe, but does not do well in 



the hot, dry summers of America.

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

 but also of better quality. Vines large, spreading, with small, 

 thin leaves, and occasional runners; very prolific, ripening its 

 crop early and all at once. Pods straight, short, small, but 

 containing six beans; beans small, oval, white, hand- 

 some, and of superior quality. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 16c; Qt. 20c;
