of the Small Pole Lima or Butter Bean. Valuable for its extreme earliness, yet it con¬ 
tinues to set pods right up to frost. Of the true bush type, growing 18 to 20 inches high*

46 JACKSON WONDER BUSH LIMA (Also known as Florida Bush Butter Bean, Calico 
Bean and Speckled Bush Butter Bean)—This bean originated in the South, where many 
gardeners prefer it to all other kinds of bush limas, claiming that it is the best bearer of 
them all, and that in dry seasons it is practically drouth-proof. The plants grow about 
2 feet high and carry quite a load of pods that contain 3 to 4 beans each. It begins 
bearing early and continues till killed by frost.

48—FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA—The dwarf form of the popular “potato lima.” The bush 
is of erect growth, holding the pods off the ground, so that they are not injured by being 
beaten to the ground by the wind or rain. Very prolific, the pods, which are produced in 
clusters, each contain four or five large, fat beans of exceptionally fine quality. They are 
packed so closely together in the pods that they are flattened on the ends, and are very 
easily shelled. The green beans, even when full size, are tender, juicy and sweet. They 
may be used either green or dried; either way they are tender, rich and buttery, with 
the real lima bean flavor. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c
