Mim NEW im LIMA mi 



This remarkable bean now ofiered by us 

 for the first time, is a true Bush variety of 

 Dreer's Improved Lima, which has been a 

 favorite, and it possesses all the good quali- 

 ties of that excellent and well-known sort. 

 There is no vegetable grown in our gardens 

 that is valued more for its delicious flavor 

 than the old pole Lima, but the necessity of 

 poles or stakes for its culture precluded its 

 use in ninety-nine gardens out of a hundred. 

 In the new Bush Lima we have not onl}^ a 

 variety that is 2 weeks earlier than the climb- 

 ing sort, but a bean, the culture of which is 

 the same as that of the common bush or 

 "string bean." The plants are of vigorous, 

 bushy habit, growing from i )^ to 2 feet high, 

 producing pods in great abundance. The 

 beans grow close together in the pods, are 

 very thick and succulent, and ripen fully 10 

 days earlier than the pole Lima. 



The following notes, taken from trials at 

 the experimental grounds last summer, show 



the value of this fine bean : — First planting, made May 4th, matured August 3d, 91 da3^s from planting. 

 During growing period the weather was wet. The beans were well set and matured 8 days before the 

 Pole Lima Beans, while the pods of the Bush variety were equally as large and full. Second planting; 

 made in the same soil, May_3oth, matured August 24th, 86 days; 10 da3^s in advance of the Pole Limas. 

 The beans were better set, owing to a longer period of dry weather. Many of the pods contained 5 beans, 

 and 40 per cent. 4 in a pod. Many specimens have been received from gardeners who grew it this year, 

 bearing from 100 to 185 pods. Sold only in sealed packages and boxes with description and illustration 

 printed on. Per large pkt., 20 cts.; 2 pkts., 35 cts.
