We have tested it thoroughly for two years and found it fully as early as the Dwarf Horticultural and as prolific as Dreer's Im- proved Lima.

Vines medium size, not much branched and not running over four feet usually, but fruiting freely to the ends; leaves large, coarse, wrinkled, green, resembling Dwarf Horticultutal; flowers medium size, white; pods borne in clusters, three to six inches in length, flat almost straight, terminating abruptly to a short point, green, and carry three to six beans; dry beans, about the size and shape of Dreer's Improved Lima, but marked the same as Dwarf Horticultural, though the ground color IS a little daTker. We advise all our customers to give this bean a thorough trial as it is a variety of undoubted merit. Price, pkt., lOc; pint, 40c.; quart, 65c. •><:• Lettuce. Grand Rapids, (seed plack.)
