FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA BEAN 



FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA is positively upright in growth. The 

 strong, erect bushes withstand both whipping rains and high winds. The 

 main stalk is stiffly erect, from two to two and one-half feet high, and from 

 this is thrown out a great number of lateral branches, closely resembling 

 Burpee's Bush Lima in this habit of growth. The foliage is much heavier 

 than Dreer's; the leaf is broader, resembling that of a large Pole Lima* 

 of heavy texture and dark green in color, while the pods are borne along 

 stalks thrown out from the lateral and main stalks in "clusters" of from 

 four to eight. The pods resemble Dreer's, but are much larger, measuring 

 from four to five and one-half inches long, one and one-eighth to one and 

 one-quarter inches wide, by as much as three-quarters of an inch thick. 



FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA is fully twenty-five to thirty-three and 

 one-third per cent, a heavier cropper. Both the green and the dried beans, 

 as compared with Dreer's, are truly enormous, being more than double 

 the size. On one bush we counted fifty-two pods, the majority containing 

 four beans, while a great number contained five. In a selected plant of 

 Dreer's there were not nearly so many well-formed pods, while a number 

 contained only two small beans. The flavor of the green beans is all that 

 can be desired in this chubby or potato lima type.

CARPINTERIA GREEN SEEDED 

 LARGE POLE LIMA 



These beans are the product of 

 two vines which appeared in 1906 in a 

 crop of the new Burpee's Improved 

 Bush Lima, on the seed farm of the 

 originator, our friend, Henry Fish, and 

 one of the largest seed Lima Bean 

 growers in this country, and who says 

 it is the most perfect Pole Lima Bean. 



Their superiority and wonderful 

 productiveness attracted his atten- 

 tion, and they were saved for stockseed. 



The vine is very strong, of vigorous 

 growth, with many large branches or 

 runners, as shown in our photograph 

 Alongside, and produce a great many 

 ane pods, which are closely filled with 

 very large, broad-seeded and plump, 

 thick, green, perfect beans.
