GARDEN MANUAL FOJt THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



Burpee's Busn Lima. 



Thorburn's ProlifiG Market Bean. 



We think this variety will 

 become one of the leading bush 

 beans for the New Orleans 

 market gardeners for shipping 

 as well as for family use. Give 

 it a trial. 



New Bwarf X,ima Wax. 

 Named Lima Wax, as it has 

 bright, glossy foliage and the 

 bloom resembles the Dwarf 

 Lima. The pods are very broad 

 and flat and of excellent qual- 

 ity. The plant is branching 

 and vigorous, with an im- 

 mense amount of foliage; pods 

 are borne in the greatest pro- 

 fusion, often a single plant hav- 

 ing from 50 to 60 or more pods. 

 They require thin planting (two 

 beans being sufficient for a 

 hill) on very rich soil. The 

 pods are the broadest of all 

 wax bush beans, color transpa- 

 rent glossy lemon wax, having 

 the yellow waxy appearance 

 very soon after the pods are 

 formed. When picked will re- 

 tain their bright attractive ap- 

 pearance for a long time and do 

 not become tough. Quality 

 very tender, and flavor deli- 

 cate. Very fine for canning. 

 Recommend same highly for 

 family use.
