BUSH LIMA BEANS 
One pint of Lima Beans plants 100 feet of row 
HENDERSON’S BUSH The earliest Lima grown and con¬ 
tinues to produce until killed by frost. Will produce an abun¬ 
dant crop under a wider range of weather and soil conditions 
than any other Lima. Beans not large, but quality is excel¬ 
lent. Our Michigan grown seed is a week earlier than Western 
or Southern seed. 
McCrea'sBush Lima or Baby Fordhook 
strong, stocky bush with big root system. Small pod like a 
Baby Lima but Bean large, thick, Potato type. Will stand cold 
and wet weather in the spring and extreme heat in summer much 
better than other large-seeded Limas. Green-seeded, retaining a 
green tint when cooked. Dry seed small and shriveled, like a 
sugar pea, requiring less seed for planting than other large- 
seeded Limas. By weight, larger percentage of Beans and less 
percentage of pods than other large-seeded Limas. Unusually 
sweet flavor, different from any other Lima. Very prolific—pods 
in a crown setting with three to five Beans in a pod. An ideal 
home-garden Lima. On account of the flavor and green tint when 
cooked, we believe this new Lima will be a popular market gar¬ 
dener’s variety even though the pods are small. Dry Beans, 
when cooked, swell to same size as the green Beans, retain¬ 
ing the sweet flavor, thus being an exceptionally fine dry Lima 
for winter use.

BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH.

inches wide and the full size 
beans are of luscious flavor.

2,000 plants 
There are two distinct types of 
Broccoli. One similar to cauliflower. 
Mammoth White is the most popular 
of this type. The other type is 
called Sprouting Broccoli; the stems 
and flower buds are eaten and it is 
cooked and served much as Aspara¬ 
gus. 
MAMMOTH WHITE. Hardier and 
more easily grown than Cauliflower, 
but cultivated and used in the same 
way. Heads of large size, creamy- 
white ; delicate flavor. Pkt., lOc; oz., 
35c; lb., $1.10; lb., $3.75, post¬

ITALIAN EARLY SPROUTING 
CALABRESE. A delicious variety, 
having the combined flavor of Cauii- 
flower and Asparagus. Simply sow 
the seed in the open ground in the 
spring and transplant the plants 
when large enough. The heads or 
sprouts when ready to use are deep 
green. After the central head is re¬ 
moved, the plant produces numerous 
branch heads which are fully as de¬ 
sirable as the first head produced. A 
continuous supply may be had for a 
long time from a few plants. I’kt.,

A variety of the Cabbage family, possessing the peculiarity of 
bearing upon its stem or stalk from 50 to 100 small, compact round 
heads. These heads are cut off when well formed and are usually niar- 
keted in quart berry boxes. The plants are very hardy, are not in¬ 
jured but improved by hard frosts, and are left in the garden or field 
during the early winter until wanted. May be had in fine condition 
until about Christmas time in the North, and in the South may be 
had from November to March. These miniature Cabbages may be 
boiled like Cabbage or cooked in cream like Cauliflower. They are the 
most delicious and delicately flavored of the Cabbage family. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED. A choice 
variety grown extensively by market gar¬ 
deners. Plants are 20 inches tall, and 
are well filled, nearly the entire 
length of the stalk, with solid
