BEANS— Bush Lima 



Bolgiano's Enormous Bush Lima. 



Bolgiano's Enormous Bush Lima. (SPECIALTY, see page 6.) This 

 — wonderful Bush Lima is the earli- 

 est, largest and best of all bush limas; the vigorous bushes are crowded with 

 enormous pods. The delicious green beans are larger than any other Lima 

 Beans. 11 yields continuously from June until frost. Both the pods and the 

 luscious flavored beans are much larger and considerably thicker than the 

 large bush lima. The seed beans are greenish and very handsome, while the 

 dried beans of the large bush limas are pure white. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 

 60 cts.; peck, $3.85; bushel, $14.50. 



Fordhook Bush Lima. The Fordhook produces a stiffly erect bush form 

 of growth, and therefore the pods rarely come in contact with the soil, and 

 thus are always clean in appearance. The stalks which produce the blossoms 

 are immense, and pods are almost always borne in clusters of from 4 to 6. 

 The well-filled pods contain from 4 to 6 thick, meaty beans. The shelled 

 beans are of the Potato Lima type and are always of the finest flavor. Our 

 seed has been grown from the finest selected stocks. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; 

 qt. 60 cts.; peck, $4.00; bushel, $15.00.

CULTURE. Choose light soil and make small hills 3 feet apart, 

 having previously spaded deeply and fertilized. Plant long poles 

 2 feet deep in the center of the hills. Allow 6 beans to each hill, 

 covering them barely beneath the surface, their eyes down- 

 ward. Do not allow more than 3 to climb a pole, but remove 

 extra plants to hills where less than 3 have sprouted. The lima 

 bean is very delicate, and often from slight causes fails to sprout. 

 They should not be planted until the ground is warm.
