In about two weeks earlier, and Is more produotive. The pods are of a rich shade of green and of the finest flavor. Beans drab

DWARF LIMA BEANS. 
THE BUSH LIMA. 
Two Varieties (Henderson's or Burpee's) — Thousands have been deterred from cultivating the most delicious of vegetables, the Lima 
bean, from the cicat 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 without the aid of stakes or poles, in compact bush form, from 16 to 18 in. high, and produces enormous 
crops of delicious Lima beans, which can be as easily gathered as tlie common garden bush bean. The New Bush Lima is at least 
two weeks earlier than any of the climbing' Limas. This fact alone should stamp it as the most valued novelty of recent years, but wlien 
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. This New Bush 
Lima products a continuous crop from the time it comes into bearing (it is fit for the table in the latitude of Minnesota by the middle of July) 
until frost, and being enormously productive a very small jiatch wiU keep a family supplied with this splendid vegetable throughout the sea- 
son. We can supply either Henderson's or Burpee's. The former we believe Is the heaviest yielder, but the latter is by far the 
largest and best flavored. Pk. lOo, pt. 25c, qt. 40c, postpaid ; pk.'92.00. 
LIMA BEANS. POLE OR CLIMBING VARIETIES. 
Alii TltpC Pole or running kind are more sensitive to the changes of the weather than the hush varieties, being affected by cold and damp 
liULI UnL. as well as great heat, but they continue bearing all summer, and are more productive. They should be planted four feet aparx 
in a rich soil, and well supported by stakes firmly placed. Plant about six beans in each hill, but allow only about four to mature. 
MAY'S CHAMPION LIMA. 
The Finest Variety for Private Q-ardens. Introduced by us several years ago 
and another year's trial only proves to us all that wc claimed for this splendid ^-ariety. 
The pods are large, containing five beans of the finest quality. Vines vigorous in growth, 
and exceedingly productive. All lovers of Limas who want a bean of the best quality, as 
well as immensely productive, will do well to give our " Champion Lima" a trial. Pkt.

EXTRA EARLY JERSEY LIMA. 
The best variety for the middle and northern states. For home use it is one of 
the most valuable of the Limas as it ripens about two wfcks earlier than any other 
variety. It is of the same size and general appearance as the ord'naiy variety, remark- 
ably productive and of extra fine quality. Those residing in the north where the season 
is too short to produce the later sorts will now be enabled to indulge in this hixut'y.

heavy yielder on all kinds of soils and Is of excellent flavor. The stock which wc 
haveto offer has beencarefuly selected, and we are positive that there is not a better 
strain on the market than our King of the Garden. The pods are of enormous size, often 
measuring eight or nine inches in len^h, and containing as many as eight or nine beans.

^nvate gardens where a Lima is required. Pkt. lOc, pt. 26c, qt. 45o, postpaid; pk.
