 REPORTS ABOUT 



Henderson's Early Giant Bush Lima 



This newest and best Bush Lima represents the highest achievement in Bean breeding. 

 We — the pioneer introducers of the Bush Lima — ^have since been constantly improving them 

 and we are now enabled to 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. The 

 plants, of true bush form, 13^-2 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 cured they are of superb quality — tender, rich and but- 

 tery, the true Lima flavor. In the green state their tender freshness is maintained 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 luscious of 

 Beans may be gathered. {See cut.) Price, per packet, 15c., 2 packets for 25c., 35c. pint, 

 60c. qt., $4.00 peck. 



ALL TELL THE 

 SAME STOPvY 



"/ must say that your new Bush Lima Beans last year gave us supreme satisfaction. In my nineteen 

 years of gardening experience I have never tasted any that equaled them in flavor." 



CHARLES E. JONES, Lake View, III. 

 " Your Bush Lima Beans — Early Giant — were excellent, fully equal to Pole Limas, and so much earlier- 

 Two rows 30 feet long gave us all we could use from July until frost and we gathered liberally. They were so 

 delicious." Mrs. CHAS. MORTON, Chambersburg, Pa. 



"I must say the Early Giant are the best bush limas I ever grew for size — 

 bearing and flavor. The plants hung full all summer and fall." 



G. L. JOHNSON, Springfield, Mass. 



The Improved "HENDERSON" Bush Lima Bean 



Bush Lima Beans are now considered a necessity in almost 



every garden. This popularity is due to their dwarf, bushy growth, 



requiring no poles or brush. There are several types of Bush Limas, 



all of which have their particular merits, but all points considered, 



the tj'pe we introduced — the " Henderson " Bush Lima — has stood 



^ the test of time, and is now more largely grown than all others 



,<vl combined. All impartial critics admit that it excels in aU 



|^>M^ essential features. The only adverse criticism made on the 



original variety was the small size of the individual 



Bean. In the Improved "Henderson, " this is entirely 



overcome; the green Bean measures about 1 inch 



long, by % of an inch in breadth, and, further 



they are plump, ver\^ tender, and of exqui- 



^^ sitely rich, true, butterj' Lima flavor, 



^r^ whether used green or dried for winter. 



For earliness and continuous productive- 

 ness the Improved "Henderson " is a verit- 

 able " pick-and-come- again " Lima Bean 

 until killed by frost. They are at least 10 

 to 12 days earlier than other types of Bush 

 Limas, and 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Pole 

 Limas. (See cut.) Price 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 

 40c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bu. 



PEAS, BEANS and CORN we do NOT deliver free, but v^ill do so if 5c. per pt. or 10c. per qt. is added to prices
