EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable Seeds 



BUSH LIMA BEANS 



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



CULTURE — These dwarf or bush forms of the lull or 

 pole limas equal the taller in quality arid tenderness, either 

 ureen or dry shelled they come into bearing much earlier and 

 do not require poles or other support to climb on: moreover they 

 continue in bearing for weeks. Being more tender than Dwarf 

 Snap Beans the seed cannot be sown quite as early. Sdii> about 

 the middle to latter part of May around New York. Tlie rows 

 should be about two and one-half feet apart, the seed sown edgewise in the drills six to twelve inches apart in the rows and be covered one inch and the plants 

 thinned to grow about six inches apart. They commence bearing in from twelve to fifteen weeks according to the earliness of the variety. Do not brush against 

 bean foliage when wet. 



Henderson's 

 New Early Giant 



True Bush, Enormous Pods and Beans 



CO This variety 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 ] ■_> teet 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 or- 

 dinary, accounted for by the pods being unusually fleshy and thick and 

 the inliage luxuriant and sheltering. Other merits of this phenomenal 

 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 

 01 this most delicious of beans may be gathered. (See illustration.)

THE ORIGINAL 



"Henderson" Bush Lima 



THE "BABY" LIMA BEAN 



7C 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 bear- 

 ing (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 sea- 

 son. The Beans are the size of the Sieva or small Lima, and of deli- 

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

 peck $5.50; transportation paid. 



The "Improved Henderson" S 



Yields Continuously from Early Summer to Frost 

 — Suitable for all Sections North and South 



70 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. 



"I 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, Newburah. N. Y.
