LIMA BEANS. 
DREER’S bush lima or potato 
BEAN. —• This is a great market bean. The garden¬ 
ers around this section plant largely of this variety to 
ship green to New York and other northern markets. 
They often receive as much as $4.00 per half-barrel 
basket for their first pickings. The bean is very thick 
and plump, rather than flat and oval; it is very meaty, 
of excellent flavor and high table quality. It is very 
productive of pods always well filled; they remain 
green a long time after maturing. The pods are 
crammed so full that a basket of green pods will yield 
half the quantity of shelled beans. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 
80c.; qt., 50c., postpaid. By express, 4 qts., $1.25;

The vines begin to produce pods near the foot of the 
pole, and the bearing season continues without inter- 
ruption until frost. Pods are large and well filled 
with mammoth size, delicious beans. I know of no 
other that will equal it. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25c. J qt, 50c.,
