VARIETIES FOR SHELL BEANS.' 



DREER'S BUSH LIMA. See Novelties. 



HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. Thousands haye been 

 deterred from cultivating the most delicious of Vegetables, 

 the Lima Bean, from the great trouble and expense 

 of procuring the unsightly jjoles which were required 

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

 as The New Bush Lima 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 Bu&h 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. TheNewBushLimaproduccsacontinuouscrop 

 from the time it comes into bearing (it isfit forthe table in this 

 latitude by the middle of July) until frost, and being enormously 

 productive, a very small patch will keep a faniily supplied 

 with this splendid vegetable through the season. The Beans 

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

 cioiis 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 lar2:e 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 40 cts., by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, quart, 

 25 cts.; peck, §1.25; bush., $5.00.

 Lima we grow in enormous quantities and offer our customers

NEW PROLIFIC TREE. This is a very prohfic varietv 

 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 high that they do not 

 touch the ground. Although somewhat resembling the Navy 

 Bean, they are of far finer flavor an d 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., S8.75.

These require more care than the Bush Bean, snd 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 should be 

 about 4 feet apart. Sandy loam, liberally enriched Avith 

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

 should be set firmly in the {jround at least 18 inches to 

 prevent their being blown over. 



EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX POLE BEAN. 

 This fine variety is distinctin seed, color, habit and growth.

 are exceedingly productive, and continue bearineruntil killed 

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

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

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