 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.

Fordhook Bush Lima 



Both 



The only stiffly erect bush form of the popular "Potato" Lima, 

 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 imique. 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 2-1 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 5J 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 is fully 33J per cent, heavier crop per, and, 

 therefore, is bound to displace entirely the Kumerle (Dreer's or Thor- 

 burn'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 freight, not prepaid, qt., 60 cents; 4 qts., $2.00; pk., $3.50; bu., $13.00.
