 ..Bnsli Lima Beaq. 



This vnluable Bish Bean has 

 fully sustnineu our claim to 

 be the best of the new race of 

 Bush Limas. It pcfesetses all the 

 good qualities of the Dreer's Im- 

 pioved Large Lima, which has 

 long been admitted the best in 

 quality of the Polo L^mas, as 

 well as the most attraciive and 

 desirable for table use. The 

 Dreer's Bush L-ima is of 

 vigorous bushy habit, growing 

 from 1}4 to 2 feet high, and 

 producing pods in gieat abund- 

 ance; shows no disposition to 

 run and is undoubtedly the 

 most profuse beaier ot all of the 

 Lima Bean family ; single plants 

 have borne over 180 pods. The 

 hems grow cloiC together in the 

 pods, producing 3 or 4, and 

 sometimes 5 in a pod, and are 

 very thick, sweet, and bucculent; 

 It ripens fully 10 days earlier 

 than the Pole Lima, and re- 

 quires no poles or stakes what- 

 ever. Your garden is incorr-piele 

 25 cts ; qt., 45 Cts., post-paid. By

Genuine Jersey Pickle Cucumber. 



This variety pos^rcsses the peculiar merit of floweiing and 

 bearing fruit continuously the eniire season until killed by frofct ; 

 and besidfcs being a moit prolific variety it will yield a good 

 crop where others fail. Fruit firm and crisp, of a dark green 

 color. A single vine will exhibit at the same time cucumbers 

 in every stage of growth, even the small ones being of most per- 

 fect shape. It has been raised for some years in Burlington 

 County, New Jersey, and the pickles, when marketed, bring the 

 highest price. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., lOcts.; lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 



NEW PEA HEROINE. 



This new, medium, early wrinkled pea grows 2}4 feet high, is 

 of robust growth, and produces abundantly long, pointed, well- 

 filled pods which contain eight to nine large peas of exquisite 

 flavor. It is one of the very best peas for the home garden.

 freight, qt., 25 cts. ; pk., $1.00 ; bush., $3.50. 



MELROSE MELON. 



Late in the fall oi ibSo, one ot our most expert melon groweni, 

 in going over a field after the vines had died, was surprised to 

 find a few specimens "holding up," while for some lime all 

 others had gone. Upon examination he was slill luxther sur- 

 prised to find that the melons retained their full sweetness and 

 flavor. He at once began to investigate as to its exact origin, but 

 without success, eight or ten varieties having been grown close 

 together that season. The seed, however, was carefully saved, 

 and after careful selection we now offer it fixed in type, and as 

 true as any melon grown. It is a very hardy, strong and vig- 

 orous grower, the vines remaining green longer than any other 

 variety. The melons are produced abundantly, and very close 

 to the hill— a feature of the greatest value. The color is rich, 

 dark green ; the shape is oval, of very good proportions. The 

 melons average in weight aboitt 4 pounds, and are finely and 

 densely netted, showing but slight tendency to rib; the form is 

 remarkably perfect and true; one of the handsomest and most 

 showy of melons. The flesh is very thick and solid, clear, light 

 green in colar, shading to a rich salmon at the seed cavi/y. It is 

 the best either for home or market purposes. Per pkt., 5 cts. ; 

 oz., 10 cts. ; ]4 lb., 25 cts. ; lb., $1.( 0. 



New Favorite Ml-im Scarlet Qadisii. 



This new Radish comes to us from France, and is an im- 

 provement over any Half-Long Kadish ever introduced, and we 

 do not hesitate to recommend it for the family gardens and for 

 market, as one of the most valuable and attractive of Radishes. 

 The skin is thin, of a bright red color ; the flesh is white^ crisp, 

 solid, and of n-ild flavor. Owing to its rapid growth it is very 

 tender and juicy. It surpasses all other strains of Half-Long 

 Radish. Being intermediate in shape, it is very attractive. 

 Pkt, 5 cts. ; oz., 15 cts. ; 14 lb , 35 cts. ; lb., $1.00.
