BUSH LIMA BEAN 
Can and Should be Grown in every Garden on the Continent. 
Of all the Novelties in Garden Products ever 
sent out., there is nothing so entirely distinct and 
valuable as this Ne w Vegetable. The old Lima 
Bean can only be grown on poles, while the NP IF 
H USJI PIMA grows and is cultivated exactly 
like the common bush or snap bean (growing only 
18 inches high), and from the time of its bearing 
in July, produces in abundance delicious Lima Beans 
throughout the entire season until frost. It has, 
besides, an additional value, intliatitis two weeks 
earlier than any other Lima Bean, being fit for the 
table in from 40 to 50 days from time of planting. 
Price (by mail) 25 cents per packet. 5 
packets for $1.00, 13 packets for $2.00. 
12 packets sufficient for an ordinary¬ 
sized family for the season). Directions 
for growing on each packet. Remittances 
can be sent either by Post Office Order, 
Postal Note, or Stamps.

Prof. Semmola, of the University of Paris, 
m an article published in the Gazette Medicale 
de Paris, says: “ Dryness of the skin, imper- 
f*ct digestion and transformation of albu¬ 
minoid food are present at the beginning of 
chronic Bright’s Disease.” Warner’s Safe 
Cure removes digestive disorders. Why? Be¬ 
cause it enables the kidneys to perform their 
functions in a healthy manner, when both 
cause and resulting symptoms disappear. 
New and Choice Field Corn 
FIELD OF ORANGE COUNTY FIELD CORN. 
This new Corn is entirely distinct from all other varieties, having the largest grain with 
the smallest cob of any Yellow Flint Corn ever offered. The kernels cover the end of the cob, 
in fact topping it over. The ears are eight-rowed, and about 15 inches long. We have com¬ 
pared it with all the leading Yellow Flint varieties, such as Longfellow, Angel of Midnight 
and Compton’s Early, and find it much superior to any of these, in its immense yield. The 
stalk is strong and large, of medium height, three ears to the stalk being not uncommon, and 
during the past season the remarkable yield of 150 bushels was produced from one acre.
