LIMA BEANS — Dwarf or Bush Varieties 
Wood’s Prolific Bush Lima. This variety makes 
a larger growth of bush than the ordinary Bush Lima; 
in fact, such a growth that at first It frequently appears 
as though it would put out runners. It will be found, 
however, of the true bush form, its stems being prac- 
tically loaded down with the Beans. The Beans are 
also slightly larger in size, and average more Beans 
to the pod. It is the earliest of all the Limas or Butter 
Beans. It bears continuously until frost, and is easily 
the most popular and profitable Lima Bean in cultiva- 
tion. In addition to its value to grow for use in the 
green state, this variety is also desirable and profitable 
to grow for use or sale as a dry Bean during the winter. 
Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 30 cents. 
White Creaseback. This is the very 
best early green-podded pole bean for 
snap shorts. The pods grow in clusters, 
are perfectly round and deeply creased 
or saddle-backed. They are entirely 
stringless, very meaty and of the choicest 
flavor. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 25 cents. 
Pole Horticultural. Vines moder- 
ately vigorous, with large, light colored 
leaves; pods short, broad, pale green, but 
becoming streaked with bright red; 
Beans large, ovate, flesh colored, splashed 
and spotted with wine-red and of the 
highest quality, either green or dry. 
Many people like them better than the 
Limas. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 30 cents. 
Golden Cluster Wax. Early and 
productive; pods golden yellow. Pint, 20 
cents. Quart, 35 cents. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima. The original Bush Lima 
Bean. Of the true bush shape, the bush growing 18 to 
20 inches high. Early to mature, productive and a sure 
cropper. Beans rather smaller in size than Wood’s Pro- 
lific, and of same tender, buttery flavor as the old 
pole Butter or Sieva Bean of the South. Pint, 15 cents. 
Quart, 30 cents. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima. A bush form of the true 
Large Lima. Plants uniformly dwarf, but enormously 
productive. Pods 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 Hender- 
son’s Bush Lima, this is considered by many to be of 
better quality, fully equaling in this respect the Large 
White Lima. Seed of medium size, flat, white. Pint, 
15 cents. Quart, 30 cents. 
POLE OR RUNNING BEANS 
Red Speckled Cut Short. An old variety, very popular in the 
Central and Southern States for planting among Corn, and it will give 
a good crop without the use of poles. Vines medium sized, twining 
loosely, with dark colored, smooth leaves; pods short, cylindrical and 
tender. Seed nearly oblong, cut off diagonally at the ends, white, cov- 
ered at one end and slightly over the whole surface with reddish brown 
dots. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 25 cents. 
Lazy Wife. It has become immensely popular everywhere, and 
is really without a rival for all-around merit. It is a lusty climber and 
the vines are fairly loaded with dark green pods ranging from four 
and one-half to six inches in length. The pods are broad, thick, 
tender, very fleshy and absolutely string less, retaining all these quali- 
ties until nearly ripe. They are therefore unsurpassed for snap shorts, 
especially as the flavor is peculiarly luscious. Each pod contains from 
six to eight round white beans, which are excellent for winter use. 
A splendid sort for the home garden. 
Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 30 cents. 
Kentucky Wonder. (Old Home- 
stead.) This widely popular variety is an 
improved large-podded strain of the 
Southern Prolific and is enormously pro- 
ductive. The poles are literally covered 
from top to bottom with the silvery green 
pods. The pods, frequently over six 
inches in length, are so meaty that they 
are greater in width than in thickness, 
being deeply creased or saddle-backed. 
They are stringless when young and of 
finest quality. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 
25 cents. 
Dutch Case Knife. Vines moderately 
vigorous, climbing well, but twining more 
loosely than some, and so may be used 
for a corn hill Bean. Leaves large, 
crumpled; pods very long, flat, irregu- 
lar, green, but becoming creamy white 
as they mature. Seed broad, kidney- 
shaped, flat, clear white and of excellent 
quality green or dry. Pint, 15 cents. 
Quart, 25 cents. 
Black Wax Pole. A superb snap 
Bean; pods yellow and stringless. Pint, 
20 cents. Quart, 35 cents.
