HENDERSON'S PALMETTO ASPARAGUS.  fatty,<a#oe oNironm, 
HE Palmetto is superiortoany other Asparagus; it isnotonly much earlier, 
but is also a better yielder, and is more even and regular in its growth. 
Average bunches, containing 15 shoots, measure 13% inches in circum- 
ference and weigh about 2 pounds. The Palmetto is equally adapted for all 
sections North and South; it is less susceptible to the Asparagus disease 
than any other variety, and has continued to yield profitable crops in sections 
where plantations of other varieties have been entirely devastated. Its quality 
is unequalled. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. 0z., 35c. 1% Ib., $1.00 Ib. 
The following from American Gardening shows what Palmetto Aspara- 
gus will do under good cultivation: 
“Truly Giant Asparagus—We recently saw a bunch of the Palmetto Asparagus grown by a 
Philadelphia gardener that heats anything of the sort we ever heard of. The bunch, composed 
of about fifty shoots, weighed 314% pounds. It stood 2 feet high and was 27 inches around the 
bunch. One might imagine from the length that it was past its best, but such was not the case, 
as it wasjust in condition to use. The grower states that it was a growth ofonly three days.”

IMPROVED “HENDERSON” BUSH LIMA. 
‘A larger type of the ‘‘Henderson’’ Bush Lima introduced by us several 
years ago. The only criticism ever made on the original variety was on 
account of the small size of the grain. In the Improved ‘‘Henderson,’’ this 
is entirely overcome and while it is a few days later in maturing, it bears 
an enormous crop from start to finish. The-vine has allthe hardy character 
of the ‘‘Henderson’’ and is equally productive. 15c.pkt., 25c. pt.,40c. qt., $2.50 pk. 
The Henderson Bush Lima Bean 
Bush Lima Beans are now considered a necessity in 
almost every garden. 
dwarf bushy growth, requiring no poles or brushing. There 
are several types of Bush Limas on the market, all of 
which have their particular merits, but all points con- 
sidered, we are pleased that the name—Henderson’s— 
represents the type we introduced, for it has stood the test 
of time, is now more largely grown than all others com- 
bined, and all impartial critics admit that it excels in all 
essential features, excepting size of the individual bean, 
which measures, green, about 34 of an inch long, by % of 
an inch in breadth, and ames they are plump, very ten- 
der, and of exquisitely rich, true, buttery Lima. flavor, 
whether used green or dried for winter. 
What Henderson’s Bush Lima lacks in size of bean, 
however, is abundantl:- compensated for in earliness and 
continuous productiveness, for they are veritable ‘‘pick- 
and-come-again’’ Lima Beans until killed by frost. 
They are at least 10 to 12 days earlier than other 
types of Bush Limas, and 2 to 3 weeks earlier than 
This popularity is due to their 
Pole Limas; this enables them to 
be grown in many sections of the 
country where the seasons are too 
short for other Limas. (See cut.)

“T have used your Bush Limas for two 
years, and I must say they arethe best Limas 
Tever had, both for bearing and taste; the 
vines hung full trom July until trost.’’—Mrs. 
B.S. ROOT, Westtield, Mass. 
“Seeds of Burpee’s Bush Lima Beans, Dreer’s 
Bush Lima and Henderson’s New Bush 
Lima were planted this season, and in so tar 
as one year’s trial goes, Henderson's New 
Bush Lima is decidedly in the lead. It is 
earlier and more prolific than either of the 
other two.’—Bulletin No. 51, Agricultural 
Exp. Station, Auburn, Ala.
