* co Improved Fordhook Green Seeded Bush Lim 
A True Bush Form of the Famous Fordhook Bush Lima Bean, Producing 
Larger and Plumper Pods with Thicker, More Meaty, Always P 
Green Beans. 75 days’ ake 
_This decided improvement of Fordhook Bush Lima is so fixed that it 
will supersede that sort either for the home garden or market. Its strong, 
erect, true bush-form plant produces a thicker growth of dark green foli- 
age, protecting the blossoms and pods from direct sun. The larger and 
plumper pods are produced in clusters of from five to eight. Each pod 
contains four to five thicker, more meaty, and plumper, always green 
beans. Improved Fordhook Bush Lima yields a very heavy crop in about 
75 days, just as early as the original stock. e
