Henderson's NEW EAKLY GIANT 



BUSH LIMA BEAN 



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, IJ^ 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 but- 

 tery, 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 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 of this most luscious of 

 Beans may be gathered. (See cut.) Price, per packet, 15c., 2 packets for 25c., 35c. pt,, 60c. 

 qt., $2.25 for four qts., $4.00 pk. 



A FEW OF MANY 

 REPORTS ABOUT 



Henderson's Early Giant Bush Lima 



ALL TELL THE 

 SAME STORY 



"The house of Henderson was indeed fortunate in introducing the Early Giant Bush Lima, a variety of fire-eminent 

 merit. It is a robust grower, a prolific and continuous bearer of large delicious limas. It is my prediction that 

 Henderson's Early Giant Bush Lima has a bright future." W. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 



" Your Bush Lima Beans — Early Giant — were excellent, fully equal to Pole Limas, 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 de- 

 licious." Mrs. CHARLES MORTON, 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. JOHN.SON, Springfield, Mass. 



The Improved "Henderson' 



BUSH LIMA BEAN 



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 

 " irush. There are several types of Bush Limas, all of which have their 

 particular merits, but all points considered, the type we introduced — 

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

 more largely grown than all others combined. All impartial critics 

 admit that it excels in all essential features. The 

 only adverse criticism made on the original varie- 

 ty was the small size of the individual Bean. In 

 the Improved "Henderson," this is entirely over- 

 come; the green Bean measures about 1 inch long, 

 by % of an inch in breadth, and, further they are 

 plump, very tender, and of exquisitely rich, true, but- 

 tery Lima flavor, whether used green or dried for winter. 

 For earliness and continuous productiveness the Improved "Hen- 

 derson" is a veritable "pick-and-come-again" Lirna Bean until 

 killed by frost. They are at least 10 to 12 days earlier than other 

 types of Bush Limas, and 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Pole Limas. 

 {See cut.) Price 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt.,$1.50 for 4 qts., $2.50 pk. 



"Last Spring we sent for a pint of Henderson's Bush Lima Beans and I want to say how delicious 

 they were and so prolific. I picked between 3 and 4 b us . of beans and when frost came they were still loaded 

 with small pods;I never saw anything to equal them." Mrs. D. B. P.ATTERSON , Massena, N.Y. 



PEAS, BEANS and CORN we do NOT deliver free, but will do so if 5c. per pt. or 10c. per qt. is added to prices
