Tliis valuable variety is now the leader in the Bush Lima class and is more largely grown than any other sort. It is a per- fected form of Dreer's Bush Lima, which variety it resembles in form of pod "^â 'it and shape of bean, but both are larger and the plant is of strong, upright i f growth, protecting the pods from contact with the soil, thus preventing rust or i I rot. It produces the pods in clusters and the Beans are very large, thick f ^ through and of a delicious flavor. It is now largely grown by market gardeners, i ' not only on account of its productiveness, but also because their customers call ,/ for it. 2 lbs., SO ot.s.; 10 lbs., J^.50; 50 lbs., :)!12.50. DREER'S BUSH IjIMA. A dwarf variety of Dreer's Improved Lima. The Beans grow close together in the pods, producing three and four beans each, some- times five, and are thick, sweet and succulent, fully equal in quality to Dreer's Improved Pole Lima. An excellent variety, which is particularly valuable for the home garden on account of its productiveness. 2 lbs., .%() cts.; 10 lbs., .S2.25-, 50 lbs., .flO.OO. DREER'S WOXDER BUSH LIMA. This variety of Bush Lima Bean was originally introduced by us. and is very desirable on account of earliness, productive- ness and its fixed habit of grooving in the dwarf or bush form. It is the best variety for sections where the growing season is short and can be depended upon for producing a good crop. The plants are of strong, upright growth, and are completely covered with large pods, many of which contain four beans, which are fully as large as the pole limas. The beans are flat in shape and of excellent quality. A customer writes that we can well call it "Wonder," as he planted as late as May 30, and not only had all the Lima Beans he wanted, but also supplied his neigh- bors with what they required. 2 lbs. 50 cts.; 10 lbs., 2.^5; 50 lbs., ItSlO.OO.

HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. A dwarf variety of the Sieva or Southern Lima. The plants are hardy, make a rapid growth and are not so apt to throw runners like some of the other Bush Limas.
