HENDERSON'S 



NEW EARLY GIANT BUSH LIMA BEAN 



(SHOWN IN COLORS ON PAGE 8) 

 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, li 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 bevond the ordinarv, 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 con- 

 tinuity of yield. First pickings fit for the 

 table may be taken in the latitude of Xew 

 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, 3 pkts. 

 for 35c, 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $4.50 pk. 



A FEW OF MANY REPORTS ABOUT 



Henderson's Early Giant Bush Lima 



ALL TELL THE SAME STORY: 



" Your Bush Lima Beans — Early Giant — were ex- 

 cellent, fully equal to Pole Li.r.as. 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. MORTOX, 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. JOHXSOX, Springfield, Mass. 



" I think I have tried all Bush Limas thus far intro- 

 duced and give tlie palm for superiority to your Early 

 Giant. It proved an early, prolific and continuous 

 bearer of the largest limas, fully equaling in size those 

 of my pole limas."

Improved "HENDERSON" Bush Lima 



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 type we introduced — the "Render- 

 son " Bush Lima — has stood the test of time, and is now more 

 largely grown than all others combined. All impartial critics 

 y. admit that it excels in all essential features. The only ad- 

 ^•"■L verse criticism made on the original variety was the small 

 fc^n^size of the individual bean. In the Improved "Henderson," 

 fc|^_ this is entirely overcome; the green bean measures 

 j^^^^ about 1 inch long, by \ of an inch in breadth, and, 

 further, they are plump, very tender, and of ex- 

 quisitely rich, true, buttery Lima flavor, 

 whether used green or dried for winter. 

 For earliness and continuous productive- 

 ly ness the Improved "Henderson" is a veri- 

 I table " pick-and -come-again" Lima Bean 



■ until killed by frost. They are at least 

 I 10 to 12 days earlier than other types of 



■ Bush Limas, and 2 to 3 weeks earlier than 



■ Pole Limas ; this enables them to be grown 

 f in many sections of the country where 



the seasons are too short for other Li
