In the season of 1 885 1 first introduced 
this new bush bean to my customers, and 
since then it has proved to be a most val- 
uable and altogether desirable sort. For 
several years it has been sold in Boston 
markets with great success, its attractive 
appearance making a ready sale for it 
wherever it is seen. A few marketmen, 
well knowing its value, monopolized the 
trade, consequently it has been but very 
little known outside of its immediate neigh- 
borhood. Procuring a small quantity of 
the seed from a friend. I satisfied myself 
of its superiority, and fn consideration of 
its being so highly esteemed in Boston 
markets, 1 introduced it under the name 
of “Boston Favorite” in 1885. It is

“The Henderson’s New 
'■Bush Lima grows without 
the aid of stakes or poles, in 
compact bush form, about 18 
inches high, and produces enor- 
mous crops of delicious Lima 
Beans, which can be as easily 
gathered as the common gar- 
den Bush Beaus. Hender- 
son’s New Bush Lima is at 
least two weeks earlier than 
any of the climbing Limas. 
This fact alone would stamp it 
as the most valuable novelty of 
recent years, but when in ad- 
dition to this, we realize that it 
is a true Bush Bean, requir- 
ing no supports, some idea of 
its great value can be realized. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima 
produces a continuous crop 
from the time it comes into 
bearing (it is tit for the table in 
file latitude of New York, mid- 
dle 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 of the size 
of the Sieva or small Lima, find of that delicious quality that has made the Southern Lima 
so famous.” Price per pkt., I5c.; 1-2 pint, 40c.; pint, 75c,; quart, $1.25.
