Lima Beans are One of Our Most Delicious Vegetables 
Large White Lima Beans. 
Dwarf or Bush Lima Beans 
One pound will plant 50 to 100 feet of drill. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima. A good standard variety that 
grows 18 to 20 inches high. The Beans are large 
and luscious, and the plants are immense yielders. 
First introduced in 1890 and still one of the most 
popular varieties. Dry beans large and flat. 
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima. An improved form of 
the preceding. The growth is more vigorous, the 
plants often reaching 30 inches in height, and the 
pods average 6 inches long by l*/4 inches wide. Not 
only are the pods and beans larger, but they pro¬ 
duce more beans to the pod, and, most important, 
fully eight days earlier. The pods are frequently 
borne in clusters of five to eight, and much more pro¬ 
fusely than on the preceding variety. The best Lima 
to date. Not quite so large but much thicker when 
dry than the Burpee’s Bush Lima. 
Fordhook Bush Lima. The “Potato Lima” which has 
been growing in popularity since its introduction 
in 1907. The bushes are of stiffly erect habit, bear¬ 
ing the very large pods in clusters of from four to 
eight. It is four to six days earlier than the average 
Bush Lima, and its green Beans, even when mature, 
are tender, juicy, and sweet when cooked, a great 
improvement on the dry, mealy character of othei 
varieties of the Pole Lima type. Dry beans are me¬ 
dium size, very thick, and almost round. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima (Sieva or Butter Bean). Ap¬ 
pearing two to three weeks ahead of other Pole 
Limas, it produces an abundance of small, tender 
Beans of delicious, rich, buttery Lima flavor until 
frost. It also retains this exquisite flavor when dried, 
making it very desirable for the home garden. Dry 
beans are very small for Lima Beans and rather thin. 
Used by canners to some extent. 
Carolina Sieva or Small Lima. This is the true Butter 
Lima. The Beans are very small and white, on the 
order of Henderson’s Bush Lima, and the plants are 
of large growth, very early, vigorous, and produc¬ 
tive, standing more heat and drought than any other 
of the Limas. Truly a southern favorite. 
Brussels Sprouts 
One ounce will produce 
about 3,000 plants. 
A delicate flavored variety 
of Cabbage having small, 
solid, tender heads, clustered 
thickly along the main stem. 
They form a very delicious 
dish when properly cooked, 
literally melting in the mouth, 
like cauliflower. Sow seed in 
April or May, and cultivate 
like cabbage. Seed apparently 
Brussels Sprouts. same as that of cabbage. 
Pole Lima Beans 
One pound will plant about 50 hills. 
King of the Garden. A vigorous grower, producing an 
abundance of large, dark green pods which frequent¬ 
ly contain five or six very large beans. These Beans 
are of excellent quality. One of "the best of the Pole 
Limas. Dry beans large and flat. 
Large White Lima. The old-fashioned Pole Lima. 
Long, thick pods and large, meaty beans of good 
quality. Dry beans resemble King of the Garden 
very closely. 
Early Jersey (Siebert’s). Matures ten to fifteen days 
earlier than other Pole Limas, making it a good va¬ 
riety to plant where the season is too short to produce 
later sorts. It is a very heavy yielder of fine quality 
Beans. Dry beans slightly smaller than the Large 
White Lima. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima.
