and we offer our patrons, in our Improved Strain of Fordhooks, a Bush Lima that has 
attained the acme of perfection, surpassing any other strain or type on the market. It 
is the best possible Bush Lima Bean, possessing every quality so long known and es¬ 
teemed in the older pole varieties, and can be grown as easily as any Snap Bean, it is 
the earliest of the large bush sorts, and may therefore be had on the table weeks ahead 
of the old pole varieties. The strong, rugged plants of true bush form, 1 y 2 feet in 
height, are of healthy, sturdy, upright growth—requiring neither poles nor stakes—and 
bear, from July until frost, almost unbelievable quantities of 5 to 6 inch pods, each con¬ 
taining usually four large, thick beans averaging as large as those of the large pole 
Limas, and whether used green or cured, they are of superb quality—tender, rich and 
buttery, the true lima flavor. Market gardeners will find this one of their most profitable 
crops. 2-oz. packet, 10 cts.; y z lb., 22 cts. j lb., 40 cts.j 2 lbs., 70' cts., postpaid.

clusters from base to top of pole, frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well filled with large, fleshy Beans of excel¬
