you have difficulty in getting Dwarf Limas to ripen.

ductive than any of the other large white Limas. A

for tenderness, so splendid for succotash or any shell 
purpose. Pkt. 15c., lb. 30c., 2 lbs. 55c., 734 lbs. $1.85.

productive. Pods entirely stringless and of a silver green 
color. Pkt. 15c., lb. 30c., 2 lbs. 55c., 734 lbs. $1.85.

ties. Certainly it is remarkable for its freedom from 
strings and excellence of quality. Pods of medium length

ahead of you, don’t fear loss, as they will prove to be 
excellent for shelling.

KENTUCKY WONDER WAX. Pods are yellow, so

scarlet flowers, though its pods are edible.

pods will average 2 ft. or more in length, and as thick as 
a lead pencil. A curiosity but well worth a trial.

popular Bean of this type in the vicinity of Boston and in

handsomely striped with splashes of bright crimson on a 
somewhat yellowish ground. The dry Beans are large, 
oval and nearly covered with splashes of bright red.
