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 Challenger 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 run- 

 ning), 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 bl<^ssoins are thro^Yn 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 i to 5} inches long, about 1^ inches wide, by as much 

 as three-fourths of an inch thick. The pods contain three to live large 

 beans with an average of four. 



Fordhook Bush Lima is fully 33J per cent, heavier cropper, and, there- 

 fore, is Ijound 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, 30 cents; quart, 55 cents, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, quart, 40 cents; 4 quarts, $1.50; peck, $2.75; bushel, $10.00.

A dwarf or bush form of the large climbing lima. The pods and seeds are 

 of full lima size. The strain which I control is of uniformly dwarf or bushy 

 habit. The plant grows 18 or 20 inches high, and has an erect branching stem.

Henderson^ s Bush Lima 



The earliest of the bush limas; two weeks earlier than any of the climbing 

 limas. It is small in size, but of high table merit, and in favor with housekeep- 

 ers on account of its delicious flavor and great productiveness. It bears until 

 frost, and a small patch will supply a family. Its bearing ability was demon- 

 strated some years ago. A prize plant carried 323 well developed pods.

This bean produces a magnificent crop of pods, which measure from 5 to 6 

 Inches long by 1]4 inches wide; as compared with Burpee's Bush Lima, both pods 

 and beans are much larger, while the beaus either green or dry, are nearly twice 

 as thick. The sturdy bushes are loaded with pods that are truly enormous in 

 size. The luscious green beans are larger than any bush lima ever known before.
