Henderson's New Early Giant Bush Lima Bean. 



This newest and best Bush Lima represents the highest achievement in bean breeding. 

 We — the pioneer introducers of the Bush Lima — have since been constantly improving 

 them and we are now enabled to offer our patrons, in Henderson's Early Giant, a Bush 

 Lima that has attained the acme of perfection, surpassing any other strain or type 

 on the market. The plants, of true bush form, 14 feet in height, are cf healthy, sturdy, 

 upright growth — requiring neither poles nor stakes — and bear, from July until frost, almost 

 unbelievable quantities of 5 to 6 inch pods, each containing usually four large, thick 

 beans averaging as large as those of the large pole Limas, and whether used green or 

 cured they are of superb quality — tender, rich and buttery, the true Lima flavor. In 

 the green state their tender freshness is maintained beyond the ordinary, accounted for by 

 the pods being unusually fleshy and thick and the foliage luxuriant and sheltering. Other 

 merits of this phenomenal Bush Lima are earliness, abundance and continuity of yield. 

 First pickings fit for the table may be taken in the latitude of New York in July, and from 

 that time until killed by frost a continuous supply of this most luscious of beans may be 

 gathered. {See cut.) ' Price, per packet, 20c, 6 packets for $1.00. {Delivered free in

IMPROVE 

 ("HENDERSON 

 BUSH LIMA 

 I BEAN / 



The Improved "HENDERSON" Bush Lima Bean. 



Bush Lima Beans are now considered a necessity in 

 almost even' garden. This popularity is due to their dwarf, 

 bushy growth, requiring no poles or brush. There are several 

 types of Bush Limas, all of which have their particular merits, 

 but all points considered, the type we introduced — the "Hender- 

 son" Bush Lima — has stood the test of time, and is now more 

 largely grown than all others combined. All impartial critics 

 admit that it excels in all essential features. The only adverse 

 criticism made on the original variety was the small size of the 

 individual bean. In the Improved "Henderson," this is entirely 

 overcome; the green bean measures about 1 inch long, by J of 

 an inch in breadth, and, further, they are plump, very tender, and 

 of exquisitely rich, true, buttery Lima flavor, whether used 

 green or dried for winter. 



For earliness and continuous productiveness the Improved 



" Henderson " is a veritable " pick-and-come-again " Lima Bean 



until killed by frost. They are at least 10 to 12 days 



earlier than other types of Bush Limas. and 2 to 3 weeks 



earlier than Pole Limas; this enables them to be grown 



in many sections of the country where the seasons 



aretoo short for other Limas. {See cut.) Price

" Your Bush Limas. I must say, are tilt best I ever 

 hod. both for bearing ami taste; the vines hunp full from 

 July until frost. " jfrs. E. S. ROOT. Westfield, Mass.
