ness and excellent quality. The 
green pods are often eight inches 
long, tender and brittle. Vines 
vigorous and branching. Beans

Vick’s Dwarf Prolific 
Pickier is distinct in seed, 
color, and habit of growth.

cultivation. Plants stocky, from 
two and one-half to three feet 
in height. When young it

tirely stringless. Pods in clus¬ 
ters, and from seven to ten 
inches long, showing the green 
color so desirable for pickles. 
Dwarf Bush 
Lima Beans 
The Bush Limas are quite 
desirable for the garden, as 
their cultivation does away 
with poles and the labor of 
staking. 
True Bush Lima 
(Burpee’s.) This is of true 
bush form, coming absolutely 
true from seed. The bush grows 
from eighteen to twenty-four 
inches high, branching freely, 
bearing from 50 to 200 large 
pods, well filled with delicious 
buttery beans fully as large as 
the old style Pole Lima. Plant 
in rows three feet apart, and 
thin to twelve or eighteen in¬ 
ches apart in the row. Packet, 
10 cents ; y pt., 15 cents; 
ft., 25 cents ; qt., 45 cents.

Wood’s New Prolific Bush 
Lima. A greatly improved strain of 
Henderson's Bush Lima, or Dwarf Sieva 
Bean. Equally as early and prolific, and pro¬ 
duces much larger pods and beans, Being about 
two weeks earlier than the true Limas, it is very desir¬ 
able for planting for an early supply, or in latitudes 
where the true Limas do not succeed well. Like all the 
Sieva Beans, it is especially adapted for light soils. Packet, 
10 cents ; y pt., 15 cents ; pt., 25 cents ; qt., 45 cents.

Powell’s Yellow Giant. (New.) 
This grand new Pole Bean comes from a cross between 
Horticultural Pole and Broad Lima, and is the result of over twenty 
years’ of work by the veteran horticulturist, Mr. E. P. Powell, from 
whom we have secured the entire stock and control. In writing 
of this Bean, Mr. Powell claims it to be the richest in existence, 
and his claim is fully sustained by our trials. In habit, it is 
somewhat similar to the Golden Cluster Wax, but is nearly 
two weeks earlier and continues bearing until frost. The 
clear light yellow pods are borne in clusters, measure 
from six to eight inches in length, and are very broad, 
thick and meaty. They are very brittle, perfectly 
stringless, and of a most delicious flavor. Packet, 
15 cents ; y 2 pt., 25 cents; pt., 40 cents; qt., 
60 cents.
