Fordhook Bush Lima Beans

 Fordhook Bush Lima 



This splendid variety is well known 

 wherever Lima Beans can be grown because 

 it combines productiveness with choice 

 quality. The plants make a vigorous, up- 

 right growth so that the pods are held well 

 above the soil surface. This keeps them 

 clean and avoids rust and rot even during 

 wet seasons. The pods are borne in clusters 

 which accounts for the productiveness of 

 this splendid variety. Each pod is about 

 5 inches in length and contains 4 or 5 very 

 thick, light green, oval beans which have a 

 distinctive rich nut-like flavor quite unlike 

 any other variety. Fordhook Bush Lima is 

 a quick seller on all markets and home 

 gardeners favor it for the heavy yield it will 

 give and the exceptionally fine flavor of the 

 thick beans. Pkt. 10c; -| lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 

 2 lbs. 85c; 5 lbs. SI. 95, prepaid. 



109 Henderson's Bush Lima. This is 

 the popular Baby Lima Bean — a bush form 

 of the Small or Sieva Pole Lima. It is grown 

 extensively by those who prefer small sized 

 beans. Very productive bushes, 20 inches 

 high, bearing a magnificent crop of pods 

 3 inches long each containing 3 or 4 small 

 white beans. Pkt. 10c; J lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 

 2 lbs. 75c; 5 lbs. $1.65, prepaid. 



Bush Lima Beans 



Culture— Lima Beans are very susceptible to cold and seeds should not be 

 planted until the ground has become thoroughly warm. Sow about the same time 

 that late trees, like Oaks, unfold their first leaves. Being gross feeders, they should 

 be sown on well-enriched land, with the rows 22- feet apart, placing the beans six 

 inches apart in the row, eye down. The two halves of the Lima Bean seed become 

 its seedling leaves and unless the Beans are placed "eye down" the young plants 

 find it most difficult to push through the soil. In light soil, cover about one inch 

 deep, less on heavier soils. A good fertilizer applied at the rate of 20 pounds to 

 every hundred feet of row, when the plants 

 begin to bloom, will materially increase the 

 yields. Hill plants slightly earlier in the 

 season to hold the pods ofi the ground. One 

 pound will plant 50 feet of row.

Bush Lima Bean

This new variety is of considerable merit. The feature that will appeal to 

 most gardeners is the fact that it has a remarkably sweet flavor. The plants are 

 strong and upright carrying an abundance of heavy foliage. The light green, 

 short, but very thick pods are equally as abundant and each pod contains from 

 3 to 5 large plump rich green beans which are so tightly packed in the pod that 

 many of them are almost square. Highly recommended to the home gardener
