It possesses in full the delicious flavor characteristic of the genuine Challenger Lima—a merit which, in a dwarf Lima, is exclusively its own. It is exceedingly productive, a single bush having been known to pro- duce forty-seven pods. Some of these contained two, some four, but most of them three beans, all as large as those of the ordinary Challenger Lima. The pods are short and unusually thick, and display the seeds inside by prominent knobs, as shown in the illustration. They should be planted in rows two feet apart, with one foot between the hills, and one plant only should be allowed to grow in the hill. For shipment to Northern and Eastern markets this is b far the ern markets this is by far the best of all Limas. Per quart, 30 cts.; by mail or express, 45 cts. V BURPEE'S DWARF LARGE LIMA.—After repeated trials we feel obliged to modify the claims which the introducer of this bean makes for it, and to materially alter the description which was at first given of it. It is of fine size, quite as large as the Run- ning Large Lima, and is well flavored, but neither our cus- tomers nor ourselves have found it true to the dwarf type. In productiveness it does not bear comparison with the Challenger, and it is not nearly so salable. Our seed is carefully grown from the best stock, but we advise those who want a Dwarf Lima to use either the Challenger or the Small Dwarf Lima. Per quart, 30 cts.; by mail or express, 45 cts. HENDERSON'S DWARF LIMA.—Although of very small size, the beans of this new variety possess practically the same flavor as the run
