HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA BEAN. 



NO novelty that has ever been sent out has received as wide distribution, in so short a time, as Henderson's Bush Lima. A few years 

 ago the entire stock of this variety was growing on an obscure plantation in Virginia; to-day it will be found in almost every 

 garden on this continent. This has been due to its great merit, which the public were quick to recognize. One of the most valua- 

 ble characteristics of Henderson's Bush Lima is its extreme earliness, as it comes in from two to three weeks ahead of any of the 

 other climbing or Bush Liraas, thus supplying us with a delicious vegetable at a time when the garden is somewhat bare, filling in, as 

 it does, the gap between Peas and Pole Limas. The small size of Henderson's Bush Lima, which at first was urged as an objection to 

 it, has proved one of the strongest points in its favor, as the public, rightly enough, prefer small beans, always associating great size 

 in beans or peas with coarser quality. Henderson's Bush Lima is enormously productive, bearing continuously throughout the 

 summer until killed by the frost. Its greatest merit, of course, bes in the fact that it is a true bush variety, requiring no support 

 from stakes or poles, but, at the same time, the experience of all who have grown it has been that it excels as well in quality, quantity 

 and earliness. (See cut.)

"Seeds of Burpee's flush Limn Beans, Dreer's Hush Limn, and Henderson's 

 New Bush Lima were planted this season, and in so far as one year's trial goes, 

 Henderson's New Bush Lima is decidedly in the lead. It is earlier and more pro- 

 line than either of the other two." Bulletin No. .</, 



Agricultural Exp. Station, Auburn, Ala. 



"Tour Bush Lima Bean is the only our suited for this section, and ripens 

 plenty of seed every year." H. H. Groff, Simcoe, Out., Canada. 



" The Bush JAma Beans I got of you are what you say about them, 

 for I think ttiey are the finest and most prolific bean I ever saw 

 — A. D. Brown, Hiawatha, Kan.

"Henderson's Bush Lima we can hardly speak too highly of. The growth is 

 vigorous and strong; pods are produced in immense numbers and continuously 

 until the end of the season. As they grow in clusters, pickingis quite easy and 

 quick work. In quality we think there is nothing that can surpass this variety — 

 there is a richness and delicacy about them hardly met with in any other bean. 

 Henderson's Bush Lima is just the sort to be planted where the ordinary Limas 

 are a trifle late." — " Popular Gardening " Trial Grounds. 



" The Bush Lima Beans I received from you last year were a great 

 success. 1 found them to be very productive, of Sue flavor and very 

 tender." — A. M. BBINOMAN, Upper Sandusky, O. 



^ • of the three ^ 

 BUSH LIMAS, HENDERSON'S, 



BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. While nominally a bush 

 form of the Large White Lima, growing about 

 twenty inches high, we have lately found Burpee's 



Bush Lima has a greater tendency to revert to the [, SPECIAL OFFER 

 running variety than any of the other Dwarf Limas. 

 While not so early as Henderson's Bush Lima, its 

 larger size will commend it to many. The pods are 

 about the size of the Large Pole Limas and contain 

 nearly as many beans. 10c. pkt., 15c. % P*-> 25c. pt., 

 40c. qt., $2.50 peck. 



BURPEE'S and DREER'S, for 

 35c. 



DREER'S BUSH LIMA. Dreer's Improved Pole 



Lima has been grown for years, the beans growing 



close together in the pods, and, being very thick, 



sweet and succulent, it is generally considered of 



finer quality than the Large Pole Lima. This bush 



form is entirely fixed in its character, growing about 



eighteen inches high and of vigorous habit. This 



variety, from its abundant foliage, always succeeds 



better in a dry season, and we would advise planting it 2. 



feet apart. 10c. pkt., 15c. % pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.75 peck.
