Delicious Cooking Recipes for the Original 



Henderson Bush Lima Bean 



The "Baby" Lima 

 BAKED "BABY" LIMA BEANS 

 Soak a quart overnight or for a few hours, with a piece of fat pork. Grease around 

 inner edge of kettle to prevent boiling over. Soak three dried ChiU peppers, pouring off 

 water twice. Mash peppers well with a pint of canned tomatoes. Cut up an onion and fry 

 slightly, adding it to the Chili and tomatoes. Pour the beans when done into a shallow 

 mixing pan. Cut the pork in small pieces, distribute it evenly over the top of the beans. 

 Pour tomatoes and onions over all. Scrape off inner lining of peppers, throwing the 

 pods aside. This makes a fine dish, and may be heated over and eaten as long as it lasts. 



SALAD OF "BABY" LIMA BEANS 

 Put some lima beans over to cook and let them cook until done, but do not mash them 

 up. Have some beets cooked and when cold scoop out inside part of beets, being care- 

 ful not to break the outer shell. Fill the shell with lima beans, pour mayonnaise dressing 

 over the beans and garnish with lettuce leaves. 



SOUP OF "BABY" LIMA BEANS 



Cook one pint of lima beans one hour in plenty of water and add a pinch of baking soda 

 while boiling. Cook fifteen minutes more and drain off the water. 



Put to cooking again in plenty of water until soft, then put beans and liquid through a 

 colander to remove the skins. Then add a pint of sweet milk and a piece of butter the 

 size of an egg. Salt and pepper to taste. Do not let it boil after Uie milk is added, 

 but keep good and hot. It has the flavor of oyster soup.

THE ORIGINAL 



Henderson Bush Lima Bean 



THE "BABY" LIMA BEAN 



> This wonderful innovation created a greater furore than any 

 of the famous vegetables we have introduced, with the excep- 

 tion of the Ponderosa Tomato. Those who never had a 

 vegetable garden before were induced to plant the Henderson' 

 Bush Lima Bean, because it enabled them to have the most de- 

 licious of all vegetables without the trouble or expense of the 

 unsightly poles. 



Henderson's Bush Lima grows without the aid of stakes or 

 poles in compact bush form about 18 inches high, and produces 

 enormous crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be gathered 

 as easily as the common garden bush beans. Henderson's Bush 

 Lima is at least two weeks earlier than any of the climbing 

 Limas. " ' .. . 



Lt produces a continuous crop from the time it comes into 

 bearing (it is fit for the table in the latitude of New York 

 middle of July) until frost, and being enormously productive, 

 a very small patch will keep a family supplied with this 

 splendid vegetable through the season. The Beans are the 

 size of the Sieva or Small Lima, and of delicious quality. 



They are very desirable served as green beans, either alone 

 or eaten with sweet corn in the form of succotash. 



Lima Beans are not used as largely as they should be, be- 

 cause it is not generally known that in a dry state they can be 

 used in the same manner as the common beans, and keep 

 equally well. Lima Beans are much richer and more delicate 

 in flavor than ordinary beans, and are unexcelled for either 

 boDing, baking, or canning. The nutritive element in meat 

 is protein. The same element in Henderson's Original Bush 

 Lima Beans (the "Baby" Lima) costs only one-third as much 

 as it costs in meat. (See engraving.)

THE LIMA BEAN IS THE GREAT FOOD BEAN FOR AMERICANS 



"Approximately 10,000 acres of Beans will he planted this year in the 

 valley, and there is no feeling of depression among farmers in this terri- 

 tory. This acerage will be planted to the original HENDERSON 

 BUSH LIMA, which are commanding a higher price for canning 

 purposes than the large Lima Beans." 



From Local Newspaper, Van Nuya, Cal., Feb. 17. 



"Limas produced from the Henderson Bush Lima seed are the finest I 

 have ever had in my garden." MRS. MAR Y B. S VTHERLAND, 



Nashville, Tenn. 



" The seeds purchased from you this spring are doing fine. I planted 

 2 quarts of your Bush Limas and 95 per cent of them are at least 1 ft. high 

 planted May 27th." MRS. THOMAS J. HIGGINS, Danbury, Conn. 



" . . , Henderson's Original Bush Lima. The best Lima I ever 

 tasted." MISS CAROL YN TA YLOR, Augusta, Ky.

FOR 



BAKING 



Dreer's Bush Lima Bean 



This variety of Bush Lima Bean is desirable on account of earliness, 

 productiveness, and its fixed habit of growing in the dwarf or bush 

 form. It is a bush form of Dreer's Pole Lima Bean. The plants are 

 of strong, upright growth, and are completely covered with large 

 pods, many of which contain four beans. The beans are oval in 

 shape, and thick, sweet and succulent. Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 

 80c. qt., S2.8S half peck. 



"Henderson's Garden Culture of Beans" is the name of our pamph- 

 let which gives complete instructions for growing to perfection all 

 the beans offered in this catalog. Sent free on request. 



Fordhook Bush Lima Bean- 



A stiffly erect Bush form of the "Potato" Lima Bean, bearing well 

 above the ground, and branching freely, but with all the branches 

 held strongly upright. Its ideal bush growth is strikingly in contrast 

 to the low spreading growth of the Kumerle. Fordhook Bush Lima 

 Bean has foliage like that of the large pole Limaa; the leaves are 

 large, smooth, and a dark rich green. The stalks that produce the 

 blossoms are thrown out from the lateral and main stalks and the 

 pods are borne in "clusters" of from four to eight, are of a medium 

 green color, of a good size and contain three to five large beans of 

 very good quality. The green beans, even when of full size, are 

 tender, juicy and sweet in flavor when cooked. The seeds are oval 

 in shape, and very thick, white with a greenish tinge. Price, 15c. 

 pkt, 50C. pt., 90C. qt., $3.25 for half peck.
