 Friends, and Have Evidently Come to Stay

Bushes grow 18 to 20 inches high, stout growth and always erect, 

 yet branching so vigorously that each plant develops into a mag- 

 nificent circular bush 2 to 3 feet in diameter; an immense yielder,

DREER'S BUSH LIMA. — Dwarf 

 variety of Dreer's Improved Lima, 

 which has been fixed in its char- 

 acter of a bush bean; very pro- 

 lific, single plants often produc- 

 ing 150 to 200 pods. Equal in 

 quality and tenderness to Dreer's 

 Pole Lima. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30c.; 

 pk., $2.00; bus., $7..50.

 prolific, continuing to bear until 

 frost. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30c.; pk.,

BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. 



POLE LIMA BEANS 



Set the poles 3 to 4 feet apart 

 and plant € to S beans, with the 

 eyes downward, around each pole, 

 thinning to 4 healthy plants when 

 they are up. They require the 

 same soil and treatment as the 

 dwarf varieties, with the excep- 

 tion that they crave stronger soli 

 and do best in a sheltered loca- 

 tion. 



When Beans are sent by mail add, 

 for postage. 8c. per pt., 15c. per qt. 

 HENDERSON'S EARLY LEVIATHAN. — This is the very earliest. It will not only give 

 large lima beans earlier than any other strain, but is also much more productive, both early 

 and throughout the season. It is a strong grower, clinging well to the poles, and is a sure 

 cropper. The pods hang out from the foliage in large clusters and contain three or four 

 and sometimes five large beans to the pod. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $2.00. 



KING OP THE GARDEN LIMA. — This bean has met with enormous sales the past few 

 seasons. They are vigorous growers, setting their beans early at bottom of pole, produc- 

 ing continuously to the end of the season. They are more prolific than the ordinary Lima, 

 bearing pods 5 to 7 inches long, in clusters of 4 and 5, with 5 or 6 beans in a pod. Pt., 15c.; 

 qt., 30c.; peck, $2.00; bushel. $7.00.

 growers, because of its many excellent qualities. As a shell bean surpasses all in quality, 

 and is the favorite with most people. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $2.00; bus., $7.00. 



FORD'S MAMMOTH POLE LIMA BEAN. — The pods grow to an average length of 8 

 inches, are produced In great clusters, with from 5 to 7 beans per pod of most excellent 

 quality for using either green or dry. The vines grow vigorously, setting the beans early 

 at the bottom of the pole, and continue in bearing up to frost. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $2.00;

MARYLAND WHITE. — This new White Pole Bean is destined to take its place as one of 

 the best beans ever grown for general purposes. Its thick, meaty, green pods are very 

 tender, rich in flavor, and produced in great abundance. It is equally valuable as a snap 

 or shell bean. It has been grown in Maryland to a very limited extent for a few years, 

 and those who have grown it once want it again. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30e.; pk., $2.00; bus., $7.50.
