BEANS, BUSH LIMA. 



Early Giant, Henderson's. (See specialties page 2) 



Improved "Henderson" Bush Lima. About five days later than the Hender- 

 son, but the beans and pods are larger; it is not so prolific but equally good 

 in other respects. (See cut) 



"Henderson" Bush Lima. A true bush variety, requiring no support; enorm- 

 ously productive and extremely early, coming in weeks ahead of any other 

 Bush or Climbing Lima and bearing continuously until frost, succeeding 

 even in Northern States; the beans have the true Lima flavor. The surest 

 and most prolific cropper of all 



Burpee's Bush Lima. A bush form of the Large White Lima, growing about 

 20 inches high; the pods and beans are large. While not as early as the 

 "Henderson," its large size commends it to many 



Fordhook Bush Lima. Of true bush habit, growing stiffly erect. The pods 

 borne in clusters, are 4 to 5 inches in length and contain three to five splendid 

 plump beans, as large again as those of Dreer's or Kumerle Bush Lima. It 

 is also earlier and a much heavier cropper 



Dreer's Bush Lima. A most satisfactory variety for general crop for the 

 market gardener. Though not quite so compact as some other varieties 

 the habit of the plant is well fixed. It bears an enormous crop of very attrac- 

 tive beans of the same shape as the Dreer's Improved Pole Lima; just the 

 bean the market demands. The beans are produced near the centre of 

 the plant in enormous quantities and the plants bear clear up till frost. 

 Few crops are more profitable

Early Leviathan Lima, Henderson's. (See specialties page 2) 



Ideal, Henderson's. The largest pods, and the largest beans, a great acquisi'

 pole Beans; enormously productive, eaily and continuous bearer; large green 

 pods in great clusters, stringless and tender 



White Creaseback. One of thejfinest early pole Beans, bearing in profusion 

 clusters of fleshy green pods, 4 to o inches long, deeply creased, perfectly 

 stringless, tender and of superior quality used as a "snap" Bean. The 

 matured beans are pure white and excellent shelled 



Golden Champion, Henderson's. The leading wax-podded pole Bean, very 

 early, and a great and continuous bearer of light yellow waxy pods; string- 

 less, brittle and tender; a healthy grower, free from rust. (See cut) 



Early Golden Cluster. Begins bearing in July, continuing to produce abun- 

 dantly until frost large clusters of golden-yellow pods 5 to 6 inches long and 

 of delicious flavor. Valuable either as a shell or snap

 either as a green-podded snap Bean or when shelled

 grows about 10 feet high; large scarlet flowers, followed by large green- 

 podded beans; used either as a snap Bean or shelled. (Crop failed)
