BUSH LIMA BEANS Fine crops of delicious Llmas are now grown without poles For Beans sent by mail, add postage at the rate of 8 'cts. per pt. and 15 cts. per qt. 10-cent packets sent postpaid. BURPEE'S LARGE BUSH LIMA. They form large branching bushes 18 or 20 inches high, and 2 or 3 feet across. The strong constitution of the plant is shown in its stout, thick stalks and large, deep green, leathery leaves, as much as in its heavy yield of thick, broad, handsome pods, which are as large and well filled as those of the Pole Limas; as many as 200 pods have been counted on a single plant. Identical in size and flavor with the Pole Limas. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 18 cts., qt. 35 cts., 4 qts. $ DREER'S, or KUMERLE'S BUSH LIMA. This variety is of strong, bushy habit, and produces its pods in great abundance. The beans are crowded thickly in the pods and are thick, sweet and succu- lent. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 18 cts., qt. 35 cts., 4 qts. $ Pole, or Running Beans (©tartgert SSo^nen) Pole Beans are less hardy than the Bush sorts, and should be planted several weeks later, when the ground is warmer and frost is over. Plant the seeds in slightly raised hills 3 or 4 feet apart, 4 or 5 seeds to the hill. The Limas are especially tender, and the rule for late outside planting with them is rigid. Painstaking cultivators, who are usually the most successful, plant them eye downward, after setting stout poles for every hill. All sorts of late-ripening Pole Beans are benefited by pinching the tips of the vines back when they are about 5 feet high. A quart of Limas will plant about 100 hills; a quart of the smaller sorts about 200. POLE, LIMA BEANS KING OF THE GARDEN. An improvement on the Large Lima. When not too closely planted, the vines set beans early and bear continuously until frost; o
