DWARF OR BUSH LIMA AND BUTTER BEANS 
Xiima beans are not as hardy as snap beans and should not be planted before the 
ground is warm and frost is over. Plant bush limas in 3-foot rows, dropping- three 
beans 15 inches apart in the row, eyes downward. For the tall varieties, set 6 to 8- 
foot poles firmly in the center of the hills 3 feet apart in 4-foot rows before the seeds 
are planted. Cover the beans \y 2 inches deep; cultivate only when the vines are dry. 
One pound of the larg-e seeded varieties plants 60 hills; 60 pounds to the acre. One 
pound of the small seeded varieties plants 100 hills; 30 pounds to the acre. 
Small Seeded or Butter Bean Varieties 
ivt o *7 \t/_ _ d O i f • [65 Days]. — Since we introduced this 
liO. *3 /. WOOa S r rOililC uusn Lima bean several years ago, it has so rapidly 
grown in popular favor that our sales far exceed all other bush lima varieties. It is 
a distinct and valuable improvement over the original bush lima, the beans being 
larger and thicker and there are more beans to the pod; makes a larger growth— 
so much so that at first it seems as if it would put out runners. It is, however, of 
the true bush form. It is a larger yielder than other bush limas, being practically 
loaded down with pods, which are borne from early in the season continuously till 
frost. Also valuable as a shell bean for winter use. We do not hesitate to recom¬ 
mend it as in every way the best and most prolific of all the bush lima varieties.

No. 42. Jackson Wonder Bush Lima Do Days].—Also known as Florida Bush 
Butter 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 drought 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. Pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs.

Wood’s Prolific Bush Lima Beans 
No. 39. Fordhook Bush Lima [75 Days] —Fordhook is the big nearly round seeded bush lima that bears in clusters of four to 
six pods. The beans are fat, meaty, tender and juicy, and of that dark-green color that indicates 
fine quality. The beans are packed so closely in the pods that they are flattened at the ends and are easily shelled. The green beans, 
even when full size, are tender, juicy and sweet; they may be used either green or dried; either wav they are rich and buttery, with the 
real lima bean flavor. The growth is upright, about twenty inches, holding the pods off the ground so that they are not injured by be¬ 
ing beaten to the ground by wind or rain. Fordhook is the most popular of all the large-seeded limas. Pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c;

Wilson Bush Dima 
No. 41. Wilson Bush Lima [75 Days] —Wilson is the latest improvement in the large 
type of bush lima beans. We have reproduced a photo¬ 
graph of a single plant to show how wonderfully it yields, more than 20 pods can be 
counted on one side of the plant. These pods will average more than five inches long and 
are filled with large, buttery beans that for flavor are not surpassed by any large lima 
beans. The plant is strong and holds the pods well off the ground, preventing rotting dur¬ 
ing wet weather. In the trial grounds, when grown alongside other large bush limas, it 
was ready for picking nearly ten days earlier than any other, yet it continued in bearing 
for a long season. In earliness, abundance of yield and long bearing season, the Wilson 
is not equalled by any other large bush lima, and in quality none is better.
