•HE/NDE-RSO/N'S /NEW BUSH LIMA BEA/N. 
This is undoubtedly the most valuable 
vegetable novelty that has been intro- 
duced in many years. Thousands have 
been deterred from cultivating the most 
delicious of vegetables, the Lima Bean, 
from the great trouble and expense of 
procuring the unsightly poles on which 
to grow them. This is now a thing of the 
past, as the new bush Lima grows with- 
out the aid of stakes or poles, in com- 
pact bush form, from 15 to 18 inches high 
and produces enormous crops of delic- 
ious Lima Heans, which can be as easily 
..fathered as the common garden bush 
>L'an. The New Rush I>ima is at least 
two weeks earlier than any of the climb- 
ing Limas. This fact alone should stamp 
it as the most valued novelty of recent 
years, but when in addition to this we 
realize that it is a true bush bean, re- 
quiring no supports, some idea of its- 
great value can be realized. This New 
Bush Lima produces a ctmtinuous crop 
from the time it comes into bearing (.it 
isfit for the table in the latitude of Min- 
nesota by the middle of July) until frost, 
and being enormously productive, a 
Copyright, X888, By Peter Henderson, & Co. very small patch will keep a family sup 
plied with this splendid vegetable throughout the season. Twelve packets will plant five rows, each 
fifty feet long, which is ample for an ordinary family. The beans are of the size of Sieva or Southern 
Lima, and as before stated, of delicious quality. Pkt. 15c., pt. 75c., postpaid. 
LE/NTZ BEET. 
This splendid new variety originated with the I^entz family, who are among the best market gar- 
deners about Philadelphia. It is as early as the Bgyption, but larger and of better quality, color a dark 
red, flesh very tender and sweet at all times, whether old or young. Very productive, a good keeker 
and will produce a crop in six weeks from the time of planting the seed. This variety we recommend 
especially to all market gardeners, as it commands the highest price in our markets on account of its 
fine appearance and excellent quality. Pkt. 5c., oz. 15c., !^ lb. 30c., lb. $1. postpaid.

May's Market Garden- 
ers' Private Stock. 
This is a variety that is unusttal for size and 
solidity of head, and it shows but little tendency to 
run to seed. We have had plants time and again of 
this variety, eighteen inches in diameter, which 
weighed nearly four pounds, with heads almost as 
solid as an early summer cabbage, which in general 
form it somewhat resembles. The variety blanches 
it.self naturally, is crisp, lender, and of excellent 
ilavor, and always free from bitterness. The out- 
side color we consider to be distinct in shade from LENTZ BEET, 
any other lettuce that we are familiar with, and may be described as a clear, deep 
apple-green, while on the inside the color is a yellowish white. It is not a forcing va- 
riety, but it is certainly one of the best varieties for summer use ever introduced.
