MAY'S CHAMPION LIMA 
THIS VARIETY was introduced by us and after repeated trials 
has been found to be one of the best and most satisfactory 
lima beans on the market. It is undoubtedly the finest for privsite 
gardens, and market gardeners would do well to note its excellent 
qualities in choosing their next year's crop. The pods are very 
large, shelling out more beans to a given number of pods than any 
variety of lima bean and in quality they are rich and mealy. The 
vines are vigorous and healthy in growth and exceedingly prolific. 
Packet lOc, pint 30c., quart 45c., peck $2.00. 
MAY'S KENTUCKY WONDER (O'-^SoL"'')

mendation to the bean growers. It is lO days earlier than 
any other green pole bean, vigorous and enormously productive 
from July to frost. Tlie pods are borne in clusters h.inging from 
the top to the bottom of the pole, are silvery green in color, very 
long, often measuring 9 or 10 inches, crisp, round, so fleshy that 
they are greater in thickness than in breadth; tender, and abso- 
lutely stringless. The seed is long, oval and dun-colored. Packet

MAY'S LIMA— KING OF THE GARDEN 
IGIITI.Y NAMED and more extensively cultivated than any other 
Ama. It is a heavy yielder on all kinds of soil and there is 
no better strain in the market. The pods are enormous, often 
measuring 8 to 9 inches, and containing as many beans of excellent 
flavor and quality. The vines are vigorous and prolific and 
market gardeners find it one of the most profitable varieties.
