BEANS— Bush Lima 



Eolgriano's Unormous Bush. Iiiiua.

earliest, largest and best of all bush 



limas ; the vigorous bushes are crowded with enormous pods. The delicious 

 green beans are larger than any other Lima Beans. It yields continuously 

 from June until frost. Both the pods and the luscious flavored beans are much 

 larger and considerably thicker than the large bush lima. The seed beans are 

 Lireeuish and very handsome, while the dried beans of the large bush limas are 

 pure white. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; pk. $3.85; bus. $14.50. 



Fordhook Bush Lima. The Fordhook produces a stiffly erect bush form 

 of growth, and therefore the pods rarely come in contact with the soil, and 

 thus are always clean in appearance. The stalks which produce the blossoms 

 are immense, and pods are almost always borne in clusters of from 4 to 6. 

 The well-fllled pods contain from 4 to 6 thick, meaty beans. The shelled 

 beans are of the Potato Lima type and are always of the finest flavor. Our 

 seed has been grown from the finest selected stocks. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 

 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; peck, $3.60; bushel, $13.00.

 dry, are nearly twice as thick. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 40 cts.; qt. 70 cts.;
