BUSH LIMA BEANS 



CULTURE — These dwarf or bush forms of pole limas 

 come into bearing much earlier and do not require poles or 

 other support to climb on; and they continue in bearing for 

 weeks. Being more tender than Dwarf Snap Beans the seed 

 cannot be soum as early. Sow about the middle to latter part 

 of May around New York. The rows should be two and one-half feet apait. the seed sown edgewise in the drills six to twelve inches apart in the rows and 

 be covered one inch and the plants thinned about sii inches apart. They commence bearing in from twelve to fifteen weeks according to the earliness of the 

 variety. Do not brush against bean folisge when wet. 



1 pint to 100 ft. of drill; 1 bushel per acre In rows 



The "Improved Henderson" 



Yields Continuously from Early Summer to Frost 

 — Suitable for all Sections North and South 



7Q 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 remained until the introduction of the Im- 

 proved "Henderson," which is at least 50 per cent, larger than the 

 original. Though a day or two later, it is still ten 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. 



It grows as freely and is just as dependable in the North as in the 

 South: in fact, it is suitable for all sections. The quality is excellent, 

 possessing the rich buttery flavor common to all Limas. (See illus- 

 tration.) Price, pkt. 10c.; pt. 45c.; qt. 85c: 4 qts. $3.00: peck $5.50; 

 transportation paid. 



"J appreciate your Bush Lima Beans very much. They are the best in 

 the world. I have tried all others but will plant only Henderson's for the 

 future:'— J. P.LINDSLEY. Newburgh, N. Y. 



Henderson's 

 New Early Giant 



True Bush, Enormous Pods and Beans 



CO This variety is the best possible Rush Lima Bean, possessing 

 every quality so long known and esteemed in the older pole 

 varieties, and can be drown as easily as any Snap Bean. It is 

 the earliest of the larde 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. l l/ 2 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 phenom- 

 enal 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 illustration.)

THE ORIGINAL "BABY" LIMA BEAN 



"Henderson" Bush Lima 



yC This wonderful innovation created a greater furore than any of 

 the famous vegetables we have introduced, with the exception 

 of the Ponderosa Tomato. Those who never had a vegetable garden 

 before were induced to plant the Henderson Bush Lima Bean because 

 it enabled them to have the most delicious of all vegetables without 

 the trouble or expense of the unsightly poles. 



Henderson's Bush Lima grows without the aid of stakes or poles in 

 compact bush form about 18 inches high, and produces enormous 

 crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be gathered as easily as the 

 common garden bush beans. Henderson's Bush Lima is at least 

 two weeks earlier than any of the climbing Limas. 



It produces a continuous crop from the time it comes into bearing 

 (it is fit for the table in the latitude of New York middle of July) until 

 frost, and being enormously productive, a very small patch will keep 

 a family supplied with this splendid vegetable through the season. 

 The Beans are the size of the Sieva or small Lima, and of delicious 

 quality. Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50;
