Henderson's NEW EARLY GIANT BUSH LIMA BEAN 



PLANTS TRUE BUSH 



No Poles, No Stakes 



TENDER, RICH and BUTTERY 

 Those of Pole Limas The True Lima Taste 



ENORMOUS BEANS 

 Equalling 



NEW EARLY GIANT. With great confidence -we urge our customers to 

 grow this Bean, the acme of perfection in a type of vegetable which we our- 

 selves introduced many years ago. 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 produces pods of enormous 

 size, which are well-filled with large, thick, fleshy Beans of perfect quality 

 just as good in flavor, just as tender, and just as numerous as any of the 

 climbing varieties. 



The pods are long, very Ijroad, and thick enough to keep the Beans tender 

 for a long period, and are produced in enormous quantities all through the 

 growing season. 



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 plant pro- 

 duces so freely and continuously that a small planting will ensure an abundant 

 supplv of the most delicious Beans right up to frost. (See engraving.) Price, 

 15c. pkt., 2 pkts. for 25c., 40c. pt., 75c. qt., $2.75 for 4 qts., $5.00 pk. 



"/ -wish to add a word of praise for your seeds, which 1 grow in my toivn garden of 20x30. 

 / have Early Giant Lima Beans to use before our city markets receive them and could retail

 March Sth, 1915. Mrs. W. E. L.A WRENCE. 281 5. Ohio Ave., Columbus, Ohio.

"I was very successful with your Early Giant Lima Beans last summer, the first time 

 I have grown them. If they were better known in this country, there would be a bie demand 

 for them." J.AMES HO.ARE, Gardener to Col. Cotin Campbell, Broadstairs, Eng.

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 earliness, thousands of our customers were 

 enabled to grow Lima Beans where none had grown before, the defect re- 

 mained 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 10 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 the only 

 one suitable for all sections.- The quality is excellent, possessing the rich, 

 buttery flavor common to all Limas. {See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 

 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.40 for 4 qts., $2.50 pk. 



"For your satisfaction let me say that I planted Henderson's Improved Bush Lima 

 Beans alongside of seed received from other firms, and it beats them both for earliness and 

 productiveness." -4. L. STOCKBRIDGE. Lewiston, Me.
