IMPROVED "HENDERSON" 



Bush Lima Bean 



YIELDS CONTINUOUSLY FROM EARLY SUMMER TO FROST- 

 SUITABLE FOR ALL SECTIONS NORTH AND SOUTH 



The original Bush Lima Bean, the "Henderson," was defective in size, and 

 though, because of its extreme earhness, thousands of our customers were en- 

 abled to grow Lima Beans where none had grown before, the defect remained 

 until the introduction of the Improved "Henderson," which is at least 50 

 per cent, larger than the original. Though a day or two later, it is still ten 

 days earlier than other bush forms, and weeks earlier than any of the pole 

 varieties, yet retaining all the remarkable qualities of its predecessor, 

 which was, without doubt, the most remarkable vegetable novelty 

 of the last century. 



The Improved "Henderson" is a perfect all- 

 around variety. It grows as freely and is just as 

 dependable in the North as in the South; in fact, 

 it is suitable for all sections. The quality is 

 excellent, possessing the rich buttery flavor 

 common to all Limas. (See engraving.) 



Price, 15c. pkt.; 50c. pt.; 90c. qt.; $3.25 

 for half-peck. 



You may be pleased to hear that my exhibit of Henderson's Bush 



Ldmas at the recent InterstMe Fair at Trenton gained for me the Blue 



Ribbon, First Prize, also four other First Prizes for exhibits shown by 



me grown from Peter Henderson & Co.'s seeds, purchased this year."

 them."

Henderson's New Early Giant Bush Lima Bean 



PLANTS TRUE BUSH, ENORMOUS PODS AND BEANS, PRODIGIOUS YIELDERS UNTIL FROST 



This newest and best Bush Lima represents the highest achievement 

 in bean, breeding and v/e 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. It is the best possible Bush Lima 

 Bean, possessing every quality so long known and esteemed in the 

 older pole varieties, and can be grown as easily as any Snap Bean. It 

 is the earliest of the large bush sorts, and may therefore be had on the 

 table weeks ahead of the old pole varieties. The strong, rugged plants 

 of true bush form, 1 \4 feet in height, are of 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 contain- 

 ing usually four large, thick beans averaging as largo as those of the 



' "The success I have attained with your seeds this summer can hardly be described. 

 Your Catalogue does not praise enough the New Early Giant Bush Limas, 

 your Bountiful Bean, or the Hodson Wax."

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 tae ordinary, ac- 

 counted 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 delicious of beans may be gathered. (See engraving.) 

 Price, ISC. pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25c.; 55c. pt.; $1.00 qt.; $3.50 for 

 half peck. 



"The early Giant Bush Limas are some beans. I planted them too late, but in 

 spite of two severe frosts that killed the tops of the vines, we had a number of good 

 messes, and at the last picking, October 8th, I got seven quarts of fine Beans."
