1/ CHALLENGER LIMA The vines of this 

 " splendid sort are very 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 quality. It is earl}-, and continues to pro- 

 duce large clusters of pods until cut off by frost. 

 One of the most popular varieties with the New 

 York market gardeners. This is similar to, but 

 a decided improvement on what is known as 

 Dreer's Improved Lima.

^i^elbert's Early Lima 



Introduced by us in 1895. Practical value 

 has been the object aimed at iu the development 

 of this grand variety. It is the outcome of the 

 labors of a skillful market gardener who se- 

 lected for several years the largest 

 green beans from the thinnest and most 

 easily opened pods The vine is so pro- 

 ductive that, although the pods raiely 

 contain more than fout beans 

 the yield is enormous and is 

 produced from the \er> hist 

 to the last of the season The 

 green shelled beans 

 are of immense 

 size,and are tender 

 and succulent.
