LANDRETHS’ SEEDS MAKE A GOOD FARMER BETTER 
DWARF or BUSH LIMA BEANS 
Two weeks earlier than Pole Limas. Average height of vine, 14 to 20 inches. Two pounds will 
plant 100 yards of row or 40 to 60 pounds to an acre. No one should be without one of the following 
varieties of Dwarf Limas in his garden. We cannot recommend them too highly. They are two weeks 
earlier than the Pole Limas and much easier to raise, as no poles or strings are required. Their flavor, 
liowevcr, is not as appetizing as the old-fashioned Pole Lima. Plant in drills 30 to 36 inches apart, dropping 
the beans 4 to 5 inclies apart. If too thick, they will not do well. Do not plant in cold ground as they are 
liable to rot. If possible plant Lima Beans with eyes down. Deeply rooted plants continue to grow after 
others stop. 
Fordhook Bush Lima 
Burpee’s Bush Lima—77 Days. Seed more 
nearly resembling the old Jersey Pole Lima than 
any other, but a trifle smaller. Flat, usually having 
the appearance of a cut on both sides ol the eye. 
This is a lima bean borne in full-sized pods on plants 
of a dwarf habit. The pods average 4 to 5 inches 
long and contain an average of 2 or 3 beans, although 
some pods contain 4 beans—maturing for the table 
about 10 days earlier than the earliest Pole Lima. 
Vines not averaging over 20 inches high. Not so 
Fordhook Bush Lima—76 Days. Seed large, 
oval, white with a green tinge, very plump like the 
Challenger Pole Lima. Potato lima type. Foliage 
dark green, bush habit, erect. Average height, 16 
to 20 inches, according to soil, quite bushy, branching 
freely. Pods 3 to 4 inches long, borne in clusters, 
averaging 3 or 4 thick-seeded beans. The most 
popular of all Bush Limas, both with family and 
market gardeners in all localities. When planted 
under unfavorable conditions germination is greatly 
effected. ^ lb. 20c lb. 36c 5 lbs. $1.46 10 lbs. $2.66 
Henderson’s Dwarf Lima; Dwarf Sewee or 
Dwarf Carolina — 72 Days. Seed small, flat, 
white wdth a tinge of yellow. Height of vine, 
about 14 inches, compact. Leaves, small and 
pointed, more of a metallic dark green than any 
other Bush Lima, a dwarf form of the Carolina or 
Pole Sewee from which it was originated. Early 
and very productive. Pods average 2| to 3 inches 
in length and contain 3 or 4 small beans. They 
are of fine quality for so early a bean. Sold years 
ago by us as Dwarf Carolina. Very popular with 
Commercial Canners who put up millions of cans of 
them for winter use. Commercially known as Baby 
Lima. Used extensively as a dry shell bean.
