VARIETIES FOR SHELL BEANS. 
DBEEB'S BUSH LIMA. See Novelties. 
HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. Thousands have been 
'deterred from cultivating the most delicious of Vegetables, 
the Lima Bean, from the great trouble and expense 
of procuring the unsightly x?oles which were required 
on which to grow them. This is now a thing of the past, 
as The New Bush L.ima 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 
ibe realized. The New Bushtimaproducesa continuous crop 
from the time it comes into bearing (it isfitforthe table in this 
latitude by themiddleof July) until frost, and being enormously 
productive, a very small patckwill 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, 50 cts., by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, quart, 
-35 cts.; peck, $2.00 ; bush., f:7.25. 
CHAMPION BUSH. The pods are of a light green 
<Color, 4 to 6 inches in length, and contain 6 or 7 
large red beans of fine iiavor, used either green or dry. Per 
"pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., postpaid. By express 
■or freight, quart, 30 cts.; peck, $1.10; bush., $4.00. 
NEW PKOIilFIC TB EE. 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., $3.75.

grown for sale in the dry state for winter use. Per pkt., 5 cts.; 
pint, 20 cts.; quart, 85 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 
quart, 20 cts.; peck, 90 cts.; bush., $3.25. 
WHITE KIDNEY. One of the best beans grown for 
winter use. Per pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 35 cts., post- 
paid. Bv express or freight, quart, 20 cts.; peck, $1.00 ; bush.,

These require more care than the Biish 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 should be 
about 4 feet apart. Sandy loam, liberally enriched with 
short man ure 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. 
EABLT GOL.DEN CLUSTEB WAX POI.E BEAN. 
This fine variety is distinct in seed, color, habit and growth. 
The pods retain their tenderness long after the beans have 
attained a large size, so that only a few days elapse after they 
<iease to be fit for string beans before they are 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 to 6, containing 6 to 8 
beans. Per pkt.. 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid. 
By express or freight, quart, 85 cts.; peck, $2.00; bush., $7.50.
