Improved “Henderson” Bush Lima Bean 
Yields Continuously from Early Summer to Frost — Suitable for Ail Sections of the North and South 
* Bush Lima Beans are now considered a necessity in almost every garden. This popularity is due to their dwarf, bushy growth, requiring no 
poles or brush. There are several types of Bush Limas, all of which have their particular merits, but all points considered, the type we intro¬ 
duced — the “ Henderson’’ Bush Lima — -has stood the test of time, and is now more largely grow„n than all others combined. The only adverse 
criticism made on the original variety was the small size of the individual bean. In the Improved “Henderson” this is entirely overcome, as 
it is at least ;>0% larger than the original, and, further, they are plump, very tender, and of exquisitely rich, true, buttery Lima flavor, whether 
used green, or dried for winter. 
For earliness and continuous productiveness the Improved “Henderson” is a'veritable “ pick-and-come-again” Lima Bean until killed by frost. 
It is at least 10 to 12 days earlier than other types of Bush Limas, and 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Pole Limas; this enables them to be grown in 
many sections of the country where the seasons are too short for other Limas. Because of this extreme earliness, thousands of our customers are 
enabled to grow Lima Beans where none have been grown before. (See opposite page.) Price, 15c. pkt., 50c. pt., 90c. qt., $3.25 for 4^ qts. 
DREER’S 
Bush Lima Bean 
This variety of Bush Lima Bean is desirable on account of earliness, 
productiveness and its fixed habit of growing in the dwarf or bush 
form. It is a bush form of Dreer’s.Pole Lima Bean The plants are 
of strong, upright growth, and are completely covered with large 
pods, many of which contain four beans. The beans are oval in 
shape, and thick, sweet and succulent. Price, 15c. pkt., 50c. pt., 
80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 
On page 11 will be found several delicious cooking recipes for Lima 
Beans in their dried state. Lima Beans are the best for either boiling, 
baking or canning, being far superior to the ordinary white bean of 
commerce. 9 
FORDHOOK 
Bush Lima Bean 
A stiffly erect Bush form of the “Potato” Lima Bean, bearing well 
above the ground, and branching freely, but with all the branches 
held strongly upright. Its ideal bush growth is strikingly in contrast 
to the low-spreading growth of the Kumcrle. Fordhook Bush Lima 
Bean has foliage like that of the large pole Limas; the leaves are 
large, smooth, and a dark rich green. The stalks that produce the 
blossoms arc thrown out from the lateral and main stalks and the 
pods are borne in “clusters” of from four to eight, arc of a medium 
green color, of a good size and contain three to five large beans of 
very good quality. The green beans, even when of full size, are 
tender, juicy and sweet in flavor when cooked. The seeds are oval 
in shape, and very thick, white with a greenish tinge. Price, 15c. 
pkt., 50c. pt., 90c. qt., $3.25 for 4 qts. 
Llenderson’s New Early Giant Bush Lima Bean 
PLANTS TRUE BUSH, ENORMOUS PODS AND BEANS, PRODIGIOUS YIELDERS UNTIL FROST 
This newest and best Bush Lima represents the highest achievement in bean breeding and we offer our patrons, in Henderson’s Early Giant 
a Bush Lima that has attained the acme of perfection, surpassing any other strain or type on the market. It is the best possible Bush Lima 
Bean, possessing every quality so long known and esteemed in the older pole varieties, and can be grown as easily as any Snap Bean. It is 
the earliest of the large bush sorts, and may therefore be had on the table weeks ahead of the old pole varieties. The strong, rugged plants 
of true bush form, 1>2 feet in height, are of healthy, sturdy, upright growth—requiring neither poles nor stakes—and bear, from July until frost, 
almost unbelievable quantities of 5 to 6 inch pods, each containing usually four large, thick beans averaging as large as those of the large pole 
Limas, and whether used green or cured, they are of superb quality—tender, rich and buttery, the true Lima flavor. In the green state their 
tender freshness is maintained beyond the ordinary, accounted for by the pods being unusually fleshy and thick and the foliage luxuriant and 
sheltering. Other merits of this phenomenal Bush Lima are earliness, abundance and continuity of yield. First pickings fit for the table may 
be .taken in the latitude of New York in July, and from that time until killed by frost a continuous supply of this most delicious of beans may 
be gathered. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 2 pkts. for 25c., 60c. pt., $1.00 qt., $3.50 for 4 qts. 
‘‘On A*pril 30 th I planted one quart of Henderson's New Early Giant Bush 
Lima Bean. There were three days of frost on them, but I now have, July 
Is/, six fine rows with pods on them four to five inches long.” 
FRANK E. DEI IIL, Flushing, N. Y. 
“ Your Bush Lima Beans — Henderson's Early Giant—were excellent, fully 
equal to Foie Limas, and so much earlier. Two rows 30 feet long gave us all 
we t could use from July until frost and we gathered liberally. They were so 
delicious.” 
Mrs. CHARLES MORTON, Chatnbersburg, Pa. 
“ I wish to add a word of praise for your seeds, which T grow in my town 
garden of 20x30. I have Henderson's Early Giant Lima Beans to use before 
our city markets receive them and could retail them at 00c. per quart.” 
Mrs. W. E. LAWRENCE, Columbus, ft. 
11 1 think I have tried all Bush Limas thus far introduced and give the palm 
for superiority to your Early Giant. It proved an early, prolific and continuous 
bearer of the largest limas, fully equalling in size those of my pole Limas.” 
JOHN L. PETERS, Topeka, Kan. 
“ Our order last season certainly brought us wonderful luck. Our gat den is a 
town back lot, but we raised our summer and winter sup ply of vegetables on it, 
including your Bush Lima Beans, also tomatoes, corn, peas, onions, lettuce, etc 
“/ am perfectly safe in saying that our garden will figure in value one hundred 
and twenty-five dollars. J had two dollars and fifty cents worth of seeds.” 
WILLARD DOWNS, Fredericksburg, Va. 
“I wish to slate that the seeds purchased of you last year proved faultless in 
every particular. 
“/ raised the finest Lima Beans I ever saw.” 
P.S. TAYLOR, Lafayrtio. 7nd.
