A Few Vegetable Novelties and Specialties. 
ROGER'S "LIIMA WAX/' BUSH BEAN. 
A DECIDED NOVELTY. 
One of rierit, and a Most Desirable 
Acquisition as a Snap Bean. 
Named Lima Wax, as it lias briglit, 
glossy foliage, and the bloom resem- 
bles the Dwarf Lima. The pods are 
very broad and flat and a most excel- 
lent rich quality. The plant is 
branching and vigorous, with an im- 
mense amount of foliage, pods are 
borne in greatest profusion, ofteii a 
single plant having 50 or more 
pods. When in bloom the plant is 
completely covered with flowering 
spikes, and as the pods form in 
clusters they sink beneath the dense 
foliage, which shields them from 
light showers, heavy dews and hot 
sun, which is a protection against 
their spotting or rusting and becom- 
ing soiled, as compared with other 
sorts. They require thin planting 
(two beans being su/Rcent for a hill) 
on very rich soil, and will run true 
and not sport. 
The pods are the broadest of all wax bush beans, color transparent glossy lemon wax, having the yellow waxy 
appearance very soon after the pods are formed. When picked will retain their bright, attractive appearance for a 
longtime and not become tough. Quality very tender, juicy, and flavor delicate, delicious. Seed small oval pure 
white, which is much in their favor compared with a colored bean. ' 
Per quart, 75 cents ; pint, 40 cents; packet, 20 cents.

Livingston's Emerald re- 
tains every good point ia the 
best strains of White Spine, 
and in addition, possesses 
that rich dark grten color 
which has been so long 
sought for but never before 
obtained. It is strictly an 
evergreen, retaining its 
color until fully ripe. On 
sight, its distinct dark green 
and spineless skin attracts 
the attention and admira- 
tion of everyone intere.stcd. 
Its fruit sets early, and itb
