Fordhook Bush Lima 
An improved dwarf Lima of the Kumerle type. The plant 
is vigorous and erect growing, bearing well above the 
ground. The pods are produced in large clusters, each 
containing three to five large beans of exceedingly fine quality. Much more productive than Kumerle and matures 
earlier. We consider this a decided acquisition to the dwarf Limas, possibly the best of the class.

DWARF LARGE WHITE LIMA OR NEW WONDER 
Dwarf Large White Lima or New Wonder 
A bush form of the true White Lima. Plants uniformly dwarf, but enormously productive, single plants under 
favorable circumstances yielding from 200 to 350 pods. The pods arc as large as those of the Large Lima and 
contain. from three to five very large, flat beans, of the best quality. While not quite as early as the Dwarf Sieva. this 
is incomparably better in quality fully equalling in this respect the Large White Lima. Any one who has tried 
this variety will wisli to plant it again. 
The largest of all the Lima Beans 
and unexcelled in quality. A distinct 
new type. Great improvement over 
all other Bush Lima Beans. Fully a 
week earlier than any other large 
Lima. Grows to a height of 20 to 30 
inches. Vines vigorous, with heavy 
foliage. Pods 4 to 6 inches long.

Kentucky Wonder 
This splendid variety, introduced in 1885, has since been offered as 
Seek-No-Further, and was introduced in 1891 as a novelty under 
_ the name of Old Homestead. Vine vigorous, climbing well and 
very productive, bearing its pods in large clusters; pods green, very long, often reaching nine or ten inches, nearly 
round and very crisp when young, becoming very irregular and spongy as the beans ripen. Seed long, oval, dun- 
colored. An early and very prolific sort, with showy pods which are most excellent for snaps. It is sometimes 
catalogued as being the same as Southern prolific, but this is an error, as the latter is two weeks later and has 
shorter pods.
