HENDERSON'S BUSH I.I1VIA. ThousaBds have been 

 deterred from cultivating the most delicious of Vegetables, 

 the Lima Bean, from the great trouble and expense 

 of procuring the unsightly poles which were reqnired 

 on which to grow them. This is now a thing of the past, 

 as The New Bush Ijima grows without the aid of stakes 

 or poles, in compact bush form, about 18 inches high, and pro- 

 duces enormous crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be 

 as easily gathered as the common garden Bush Beans. But 

 when, in addition to this, we realize that it is a true Bush 

 Bean, requiring no supports, some idea of its great value can 

 be realized. The New Bush lam a produces a continuous crop 

 from the time it comes into bearing (it Isfit for the table in this 

 latitude by the middle of July) until frost, and beingenormously 

 productive, a very email patch will keep a family supplied 

 with this splendid vegetable through the season. The Beans 

 are of the size of the Sieva or Small Lima, and of that deli- 

 cious quality that has made the Southern Lima so famous. 

 Our seed has been grown Avith the utmost care, and all shelled 

 by hand, thus avoiding disappointment from buying machine- 

 thrashed seed, a large percentage of which will not grow, 

 owing to the seed being cracked. Market gardeners have 

 found this a valuable variety. Per pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; 

 quart, 45 cts., by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, quart, 

 30 cts.; peck, $1.60; bush., $6,25.

KEW PROMFIO TREE. This is a very prolific variety 

 for field culture, growing to a height of 18 to 20 

 inches and branching out in all directions. They are of much 

 easier cultivation than the small growing varieties, and have 

 the advantage ofbearing their pods so high that they do not 

 touch the ground. Although somewhat resembling the Navy 

 Bean, they are of far finer flavor and require much less time to 

 cook. A fair average yield of this variety is 60 bushels per 

 acre. Per pkt, 5 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By 

 express or freight, quart, 25 cts.; peck, §1.00 ; bush., S3.75.

These require more care than the Bush Bean, and should 

 not be planted until 2 weeks later, as they stand in much 

 more danger from the frost. Plant in hills, from 6 to 6 

 (Seeds in each, about 2 inches deep. The hills should be 

 about 4 feet apart. Sandy loam, liberally enriched with 

 Bhort manure in the hills, is best for their cultivation. Poles 

 should be set firmly in the ground at least 18 inches to 

 prevent their being blown over. 



EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX POLE BEAN. 

 This fine variety is distinct in seed, color, habit and growth.

 cease to be fit for string beans before they are fit to shell. They 

 are exceedingly productive, and continue bearing until killed 

 frost. The pods are of a beautiful golden yellow, 7 to 8 

 inches long, and borne in clusters of 4 to 6, containing 6 to 8 

 beans. Per pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 26 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid.
