HEHDERSOfl'S HEW BUSH liUVIR BEAH- 



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 valuable character- 

 istics 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 Limas, thus supplying us with a delicious vegetable at a time when the garden is somewhat bare, filling in, as it does, the gap be- 

 tween Peas and the 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 Lima beans 

 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, lies 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.)

I wish to add a word in favor of your new Bush Lima Bean. It cannot be excelled either in 

 quantity or quality. Last spring I procured one packet from you for trial and was more than 

 surprised at the yield. — Jennie E. Holmes, Oxford, Ohio. 



Burpee's Bash liima. 



This is a bush form of the well-known Large White Lima Bean. It is very fixed 

 in its bush character, growing to a uniform height of about twenty inches. While 

 not so early as Henderson's Bush Lima, its larger size will commend it to many. 

 The pods are of the exact size of the Large Pole Limas and contain as many beans 

 of the same delicious quality. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 25c. }% pint, 40c. pint, 75c.

Dveev's Bash liima. 



Dreer's Improved Pole Lima, or, as it is sometimes called, " Potato" Lima, has 

 been grown for years, the beans growing close together in the pods, and being very 

 thick, sweet and succulent, and generally considered of finer quality than the Large 

 Pole Lima. This bush form is entirely fixed in its character, growing from one and 

 one-half to two feet in height and of vigorous habit. This variety, from its 

 abundant foliage, always succeeds better in a dry than in a wet season, and we 

 would advise, if possible, in planting to plant it at least two feet apart and on light, 

 sandy soil, if practicable. 10c. pkt., 25c. )£ pint, 40c. pint, 75c. quart, $5.00 peck.
