DWARF LIMA 
BEANS. 
DWARF LARGE WHITE LIMA 
(Burpee’s.)—A bush form of the 
true Large Lima. The plants are 
, Li uniformly dwarf, but enormously pro- 
f ductive, single plants under favorable 
Ve circumstances yielding from 150 
to 350 pods. The pods are as large as those of the 
KUMERLE é 
Busy Lima - Large Lima, and contain from four to six very 
BEANS. 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 be 4 
desirous of planting it again. 
Pkt. 10c.; Pt. 20c.; Qt. 30c.; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bushel $6.00. 
KUMERLE BUSH LIMA (Dreer’s.)—A dwarf form of the Chal- 
lenger Lima, having the same thick pods and large thick beans 
which have made the Chall enger so popular. The plant, while fully 
as dwarf, is hardier, and matures its crop earlier than the Dwarf 
Large White Lima, and the beans are of better quality. Many peo- 
ple consider this sort the best of the Dwarf Limas. 
Pkt. 10c.; Pt. 20c.; Qt. 30c.; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bushel $6.00. 
BUSH LIMA, OR DWARF SIEVA (Henderson’s.)—A dwarf form 
of the Small Lima, and valuable because of its extreme earliness. 
Vines without runners, but continuing to grow and set pods until 
stopped by frost; leaves small, bright green and Lima-like; 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 quality to the Dwarf Large White 
Lima. Pkt. 10c.; Pt. 15c.; Qt. 25c.; 4 Qts. 75cts.; Bushel $4.50.
