BURPEE’S 
BUSH 
LIMA. 
While nominally a bush form of the Large 
White Lima, growing about twenty inches high, 
wo have lately found Burpee's Bush Lima has a 
greater tendency to revert to the running variety 
than any of the other Dwarf Limas. While not 
so early as Henderson's Bush Lima, its larger 
size will commend it to many. Tho pods are 
about the size of the Large Pole Limas and con¬ 
tain nearly as many beans. 10c. pkt., 20o. % 
pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $3.00 peck. 
DREER’S BUSH LIMA. 
Dreer’s Improved Polo Lima has been grown 
for years, the beans growing close together in 
the pods, and being very thick, sweet and suc¬ 
culent, it is generally considered of finer quality 
than the Large Polo Lima. This bush form is 
entirely fixed in its character, growing about 
eighteen inches high and of vigorous habit. 
This variety, from its abundant foliage, always 
succeeds better in a dry season, and we would 
advise planting it two feet apart. 10c. pkt., 
15c. >2 P fc -> 25c. pfc-> 45c. T fc -> S3.00 peck. 
One of the most valuable characteristics of Henderson’s Bush Lima is its EXTREME EARLINESS, 
as it comes in from two to three weeks ahead of any of tho other climbing or Bush Limas, thus supply¬ 
ing us with a delicious vegetable at a time when the garden is somewhat bare, filling in, as it does, tho 
gap between Peas and tho Pole Limas. The small size of Henderson’s Bush Lima, which at first was 
urged as an objection to it, has proved one of the strongest points in its favor, as the public, rightly 
enough, prefer small beans, always associating great size in Lima beans with coarser quality. Hender¬ 
son’s Bush Lima is enormously productive, bearing continuously throughout tho summer until killed 
by the frost. Its greatest merit, of course, lies in the fact that it is a true bush variety, requiring no 
support from stakes or poles, but, at the same time, the experience of all who have grown it has been 
that it excels as well in quality, quantity and earliness. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 
$2.50 peck. 
Dwarf Green Podded Bush Beans - Continued - 
HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA BEAN. 
If Beans are desired by mail, please add 5c. per pint and 10c. per quart for postage. 
I A\J rjppi I /~vvtx Long green pods, Always solid, Wonderfully fender, 
L,v/i”VjrL<L<L4V/ VV • Exceedingly prolific. Delicious flavor. Remarkably early. 
This is an ideal String Bean. The pods are 6J-^ inches long, pale, soft 
green in color, perfectly straight and round. They are free from that woolly 
inner lining of tough skin which we associate with old beans, and what little 
string exists is not developed until the pod is quite 
old. The flavor is most delicious, and it has the pecu¬ 
liarity of preserving its delicate color almost intact 
when prepared for the table. It is remarkably early, 
being ready for use four days in advance of any variety 
of merit. Its bearing qualities are unexcelled, and it 
matures its crop very regularly’, even under adverse 
conditions. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., 
$2.00 peck, $7.00 bush. 
“FLAGEOLET VICTORIA.” It is a giant among 
green podded Bush Beans, forming a large, robust

similar in shape to the well-known Mohawk, but 
nearly twice as large. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 40c. qt., 
$2.50 peck.

known Horticultural Pole Bean. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt.,
