These three illustrations appeared in the special Bush Lima Bean number of The Rural New Yorker, dated October 19, 1889, prior to the introduction of Burpee's Bush Lima. No horticultural paper in Amer- ica has a more enviable reputation for impartiality than The Rural New Yorker, and these three illustrations, which we have accurately reproduced, speak louder than any words that we could write as to the incomparable value of BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA BEAN.
