Jlortieultural Lima pole Bear?. 
This is said to be a cross between the Dwarf, Horticultural, and Dreer’s Lima, but we must frankly 
say we don’t believe such a cross to be possible, and that the samples which were cooked did not show 
any special Lima flavor. However, it is an excellent bean, let its origin have been what it may. It is 
early, with a flat, dark green pod, and is of excellent quality; on the whole, a first-class shell bean. 
Price per quart, postpaid, 75 cts; per package, 10 cts.

We consider this the greatest acquisition of years to the class of wax pole beans. It is 
the earliest of all the wax varieties , has pods as long as the longest, eight inches, and they are 
of a peculiarly rich, waxy white color, more so than that excellent variety, the Golden 
Butter. The pods are plump and round, and the foliage exceptionally stout and healthy; 
pods stringless. Mr. Ferry noted on his trial grounds that this new bean furnished a full 
picking of fine pods before the Early Golden Wax growing beside it came into flower. 
u The points of superiority are extreme earliness, great productiveness, and the unusually 
fine color and quality of the pods.” Price per quart, postpaid, 65 cts; per package, 10 cts. 
NEW DWARF LIMA BEAN (Jackson’s Wonder). 
A variety of dwarf Lima, which, like Henderson’s, is of the Sieva class, though the beans 
of the Jackson are larger than those borne by Henderson’s variety. They become streaked 
with pink, when ready for use, producing an effect very pleasing to the eye. A very prolific 
variety of the dwarf Lima; three quarts have been raised from thirteen beans. The Limas 
do best on a sandy loam well manured. Price per package, 15 cts. 
DWARF BLUE PODDED BUTTER BEAN. 
This is a strikingly odd novelty in beans, the leaves, stems, and pods being 
all of a rich dark purple color, and forms, when covered with its pinkish 
purple flowers, a most showy, blackish purple bush. The pods w^hen cooked 
are of a rich green color, tender and stringless. Price per package, 15 cts. 
ARLINGTON FAVORITE BEET. 
Wherever the market gardeners of Arlington (a suburb of Boston) lead 
it is pretty safe to follow, iu the line of new vegetables. We find this new 
beet of theirs to be a fine early sort, dark red in color, having a small tuft 
of leaves for foliage, of good form, fine flavor, and on the whole an excel¬ 
lent variety either for the market gardener or for the home garden. 
Price per pound, postpaid,. 75 cts.; per ounce, 15 cts.; per package, 10 cts. 
Golden Champion Pole Beans. 
COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE ASPARAGUS. 
An entirely new variety of asparagus, which is sure to be 
in great demand in many localities, because it furnishes white 
shoots which stay white as long as Jit for use without earthing 
up or any other artificial blanching , and it can be depended
