$ Henderson’s New Bush Lima Bean. 
The Greatest Novelty of the 19th Century. 
♦ 
Thousands have been deterred from cultivating the most delicious of vegetables, the Lima Bean, from the 
great trouble and expense of procuring the unsightly poles which were required on which to grow them. 
This is now a thing of the past, as the New Bush Lima grows without the aid of stakes or poles, in compact 
bush form, about 18 inches high, and produces enormous crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be as 
easily gathered as the common garden Bush Bean. The 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 addition to this, we realize that it is a true Bush Bean, requiring no supports, some idea of its great 
value can be realized. 
The New Bush Lima produces a continuous crop from the time it comes in bearing (it is fit for the table 
in the latitude of New York, middle of July), until frost, and being very productive, a very small patch will 
keep a family supplied with this splendid vegetable through the season. Large pkt., 10 cts.; 3 for 25 cts. 
The standard winter and market squash, of good 
size, from seven to nine pounds in weight; shell hard 
and knotted, color olive green. Flesh rich deep 
yellow, thick, dry, of fine grain, sweet and delicious 
flavor. It is an ’excellent keeper and always com¬ 
mands the highest price in market, and will yield 
from three to eight tons per acre. When a vegetable 
like the Hubbard Squash has been before the public 
for a number of years, and every year increased in 
popularity with the people, it is 'safe to assume that, 
the Hubbard must possess merit of the highest order, 
or it would not be held in such esteem. Our seed is 
the very best strain, and saved with great care; the 
quality is always maintained at the highest standard 
of excellence. Price per large packet, 5 cents. 
Emerald Gem Musk Melon. 
EMERALD GEM. 
Few new vegetables have proved as worthy as this. 
It is indeed the finest of all Melons. Its color is dark 
green, with most beautiftil salmon-colored flesh. 
Medium size, round, and very prolific. Its flavor is 
delicious and sweet beyond description. It is so rich 
and juicy that it nearly drops to pieces, and is best 
eaten with a spoon. We can say nothing which will 
convey a true idea of its delicious quality. It must 
be eaten to be appreciated. Do not fail to plant this 
grand Melon. Large packet, 5 cts/,
