New Early Giant Bush Lima Bean 
Plants True 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 Hender- 
son’s Early Giant a Bush Lima that has attained the acme of per- 
fection, 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, 11% 
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 buttery, 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 phenome- 
nal 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 en- 
graving.) 
Price, 15¢. pkt., 2 pkts. for 25¢., 55¢. pt., $1.00 qt., $3.75 for half 
peck.
