DKEER'S BUSH UCMA. 'See Novelties. 



BTEXDERSON'S BCSH LIIVIA. Thousands haye 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 required 

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

 as The New Bush Iiima 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 Busli 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 Buslitimaproducesa 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 being enormously 

 productive, a very small 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 with 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. ]SIarket gardeners have 

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

 quart 40 cts., by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, quart,

If EW PROr.iriC TREE. This is averyprohfic 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 of bearing their pods so higlt 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.;"pirit, 20 cts.; quart, 40 cts.. postpaid. By

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 5 to 6 

 seeds in each, about 2 inches deep. The hills shotild be 

 about 4 feet apart. Sandy loam, Jiberally enriched with 

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

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

 prevent their being blown over. 



EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX POLE BEAN. 

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

 The pods retain their tenderness Ions: after the beans have 

 attained a large size, so that only a few days elapse after they 

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

 are exceedingly productive, and continue bearing until killed 

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

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

 beans. Per pkt.. 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart. 50 cts., postpaid.
