BEANS—Bush Lima 
CULTURE—Soil should be of a rich loam. Plant in 
rows 2 feet apart and 6 inches in the row. Plant after 
all danger of frost has passed. A top dressing of well- 
rotted stable manure or some good fertilizer will help 
wonderfully. 
DREER’S BUSH LIMA —Dwarf variety of Dreer’s 
Improved Lima, which has been fixed in its character 
of a bush bean; very prolific, single plants often pro¬ 
ducing 50 to 200 pods. Equal in quality and tenderness 
to Dreer’s Pole Lima. Pkt. 10c; pt. 25c; qt. 40c; pk. 
$3.00. 
THE “BURPEE IMPROVED” BUSH LIMA—Will 
outyield Burpee’s Bush Lima by fully one third. This 
greater yield is due to the increased size of both pod and 
beans. The dried beans are very handsome and gen¬ 
erally show a greenish-white coloring, while dried beans 
of the Burpee Bush Lima, like those of the large Pole 
Lima, are pure white. Pkt. 10c; pt. 20c; qt. 30c; pk. 
$3.00. 
FORI3HOOK BUSH LIMA —An improved dwar 
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 3 to 5 
large beans of exceptionally fine quality. Much more 
productive than Kumerle and matures earlier. We 
consider this a decided acquisition to the dwarf Lima, 
possibly the best of the class. Pkt. 10c; pt. 40c; qt. 
70c; pk. $3.25. 
HENDERSON’S DWARF LIMA —These are very 
valuable because they do not need poles, and being so 
dwarf, can be planted close together. They are very 
early and prolific, continuing to bear until frost. Pkt. 
10c; pt. 25c; qt. 35c; pk. $2.50. 
BEANS-Pole Lima 
CULTURE—Plant when all danger of frost or cold 
nights are over. Don’t be afraid to put a liberal number 
in a hill, as this is cheaper than replanting. Set poles 
4 feet apart each way. Thin out to 3 plants to a pole. 
One quart will plant 100 hills; 12 to 15 quarts per acre. 
CARPENTERIA —This new bean, of recent intro¬ 
duction, is rapidly coming to the front as a favorits with 
market gardeners and truckers generally. While it has 
all the good qualities of the King of the Garden, it is 
even better, as the beans have a better appearance 
Color is a bright green. It is early, yet keeps bearing 
until frost. Pods are filled with 4 to 5 large mealy beans, 
of the very finest flavor. Vines are vigorous and strong 
in growth, producing a number of pods, well filled. 
Pkt. 10c; pt. 20c; qt. 30c; pk. $2.25.
