DWARF OR BUSH LIMA AND BUTTER BEANS 
Lima 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 iy 2 inches deep; cultivate only when the vines are dry. 
One pound of the large 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 
_ o >7 r» i i: [65 Days]. — Since we introduced this 
1NO. o/. Woods rrontic Bush 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.

Wood’s Prolific Bush Lima Beans 
Large Seeded Bush Limas 
No. 39. Fordhook Bush Lima [ 7 * SrTySfee^ 
ed 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 close¬ 
ly 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 way 
they are rich and buttery, with the real lima bean flavor. The 
growth in upright, about twenty inches, holding the pods off 
the ground so that they are not injured by being beaten to the 
ground by wind or rain. Fordhook is the most popular of all 
the large-seeded limas. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 20c;

No. 41. McCrea’s Bush Lima f 75 Days].—The latest addi¬ 
tion to the large seeded bush 
lima family and a worthy one. It has a sweet flavor not found 
in other bush limas, so much so that the dry beans are wrinkled 
like a sugar pea. The plants are strong and upright with an 
abundance of foliage, and bears its pods equally abundantly. 
Each pod contains from three to five large plump beans that 
are so tightly packed in the pod that the pressure flattens the 
ends of the beans. It has the further advantage that it will 
stand cold and wet weather in the spring and extreme summer 
heat better than other large seeded limas. We recommend it 
for the home garden and for markets; for canning it is dis¬ 
tinctly superior. By mail postpaid, pkt. 15c; y 2 lb. 25c; lb. 45c;

No. 40. Burpee’s Bush Lima uZ 
and of equally good quality. The plants are uniformly dwarf 
McCrea’s Bush. Lima and erect, branch vigorously and are immense yielders, the 
. pods carrying three to five large beans. The pods are well filled 
with very large beans identical in size and buttery, luscious flavor that has made the large white pole lima 
so universally popular. It is ready for the table about a week earlier than the large pole limits.
