Dreer's Bush Lima Bean 



66. 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 succiilent.

THE ORIGINAL 



Henderson Bush Lima Bean 



THE "B.ABY" LIMA BEAN 



75. This wonderful innovation created a greater furore than any of the 

 famous vegetables we have introduced, -nith the exception 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 avoid the 

 trouble or expense of unsightly poles. 



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

 bush form about 18 in- 

 ches high, and produces r 

 enormous crops of deli- 

 cious Lima Beans, which 

 can be gathered as easily 

 as the common garden 

 bush beans. Hender- 

 son's Bush Lima is at 

 least two weeks earlier 

 than any of the climb- 

 ing Limas. It 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 pro- 

 ductive, a very small 

 patch will keep a family 

 supplied with this splen- 

 did vegetable through 

 the season. The Beans 

 are the size of the Sieva 

 or small Lima, and of 

 delicious quality.

YIELDS CONTINUOUSLY FROJI EARLY SUiMMER TO FROST- 

 SUITABLE FOR ALL SECTIONS NORTH AND SOUTH 

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

 because of its extreme earhness, thousands of our customers were enabled 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 

 . quaUties 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.

Henderson's 

 New Early Giant 



Bush Lima Bean 



PLANTS TRU*E BUSH, ENORMOUS PODS AND BEANS 

 69. This newest and best Bush Lima represents the highest achievement 

 in bean breeding, and we offer our patrons in Henderson's Early Giant a Bush 

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

 tj-pe 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 begrown 

 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, IV^ 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 containing usually 

 four large, thick beans averaging as large as those of the large pole Limas, and 

 whether used green or ciired, they are of superb quality — tender, rich and 

 butter}-, the true Lima flavor. In the green state their tender freshness is main- 

 tained 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 deU- 

 cious of beans may be gathered. {See engraving.) 



Price, 15c. pkt., 2 pkts. for 25c., 55c. pt., $1.00 qt., $3.50 for half peck. 



"On April 30th I planted one quart of Hendersoyi's A'ew Early Giant Bush 

 Lima Bean. There were Ihrze days of frost on them, but I now have July 1st, six 

 fine rows with pods on them four to five inches long."
