One of the most valuable characteristics of Hender- 

 son'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 between 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, al- 

 ways associating great size in Lima beans with coarser 

 quality. Henderson's Bush Lima is enormously pro- 

 ductive, 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, requir- 

 ing 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.)

BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. 



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.

DREER'S BUSH LIMA. 



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., 20c. )^ pint,
