Dwarf or Bush Lima Beans 
« Fordhook Bush Lima 
The only stiffly erect, bush form of the popular ‘‘Potato’’ Lima. Both pods 
and beans are twice the size of Dreer’s Bush Lima and more than 
half again as large as the Challanger Pole Lima 
Fordhook Bush Lima is altogether unique, Nothing like it has ever 
been seen before. Of strong, erect, true bush-like growth (never prostrate 
or running), the bushes average 20 to 30 inches in height by 20 to 24 inches 
across the top. The foliage is of heavy texture and very dark green in 
color. ‘The stalks that produce the blossoms are thrown out from the lateral 
and main stalks; the pods are borne in ‘‘clusters’’ of from four to eight. 
The pods resemble those of Dreer’s Bush Lima, but average more than 
double the size, measuring from 4 to 53 inches long, about 1} inches wide, 
by as much as three-fourths of an inch thick. The pods contain three to 
five large beans with an average of four. 
Fordhook Bush Lima yields fully 33} per cent. heavier crop, and there- 
fore, is bound to displace entirely the Kumerle (Dreer’s or Thorburn’s) 
Bush Lima. In season it is from four to six days earlier. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 40 cents; quart, 75 cents, postpaid. By express or
