Henderson's 

 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, 1% 

 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.)
