ALL TELL THE SAME STORY 
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, \ l A feet in height, are of healthy, sturdy, upright 
growth — requiring neither poles nor stakes — and bear, from July until frost, almost un¬ 
believable 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, b — - - - 1 ~ . — - - - - - —

age 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 sup¬ 
ply of this most luscious of beans may be 
gathered. Price, 15c. pkt., 2 pkts. for 25c., 
60c. pt., $1.00 qt. 
DREER’S 
Bush Lima Bean 
(See Colored Illustration on Opposite Page) 
This variety of Bush Lima Bean is de¬ 
sirable on account of earliness, productive¬ 
ness 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, 
16c. pkt., 60c. pt., $1.00 qt. 
FORDHOOK 
Bush Lima Bean 
(See Colored Illustration on Opposite Page) 
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 Kum- 
erle. 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 
are thrown out from the lateral and main 
stalks and the.pods are borne in “clusters" of 
from four to eight, are 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., 60c. pt., $1.00 qt. 
“All those who have tried Henderson's Early 
Giant Bush Lima Bean recommend it with the 
fullest confidence, knowing that it has given entire- 
satisfaction ever since it was sent out by the house of 
HENDERSON. The plants are completely loaded 
with large pods, and this peerless variety should be 
in the gardens of all lovers of Bush Limas, either for 
home or market purposes." 
WILLIAM E. VAIL, 
Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 
“On April 30 th I planted one quart of Hender¬ 
son's New Early Giant Bush Lima Bean. There 
were three days of frost on them, but I now have, 
July 1st, six fine rows with pods on them four to five 
inches long." 
FRANK E. DEIIIL, Flushing, N. Y. 
“ Your Bush Lima Beans — Henderson's Early 
Giant—were excellent, fully equal to Pole Limas, 
■ind so much earlier. Two rows 30 feet long gave us 
all we could use from July until frost and we 
gathered liberally. They were so delicious." 
Mrs. CHARLES MORTON, 
Chambcrsburg, Pa. 
“ I wish to add a word of Praise for your seeds, 
which I 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 
60c. per quart." 
Mrs. W. E. LA WRENCE, 
Columbus, O. 
“7 must say the Henderson's Early Giant are the 
best Bush Limas I ever grew for size, bearing and 
flavor. The plants hung full all summer and fall." 
G. L. JOHNSON, Springfield, Mass. 
“ Your Early Giant Lima Beans turned out 
splendidly last year. We are very pleased with 
them. j p CRANST0Nt Smithfield, Pa. 
“I 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 con¬ 
tinuous bearer of the largest limas, fully equaling in 
size those of my pole Limas." 
JOHN L. PETERS, Topeka, Kans. 
“Our order last season certainly brought us 
wonderful luck. Our garden is a town back lot, but 
we raised our summer and winter supply of veg¬ 
etables on it, including your Bush Lima Beans, also 
tomatoes, corn, peas, onions, lettuce, etc. 
“7 am perfectly safe in saying that our garden will 
figure in value one hundred and twenty-five dollars. 
I had two dollars and fifty cents worth of seeds." 
WILLARD DOWNS, Fredericksburg, Va. 
"I wish to state that the seeds purchased of you 
last year proved faultless in every particular. 
I raised the finest Lima Beans 1 ever saw."
