BUSH LIMA BEAN 
This newest and best Bush Lima represents the highest achievement in Bean breeding. 
We—the pioneer introducers of the Bush Lima—have since been constantly improving them 
and we are now enabled to 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. The 
plants, of true bush form, 13 ^ 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 but¬ 
tery, 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 earlincss, 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 luscious of 
Beans may be gathered. {See cut.) Price, per packet, 15c., 2 packets for 25c., 35c. pt., 60c.

Delicious Green Limas 
a report° f about Henderson's Early Giant Bush Lima same e stoky 
From July Until Frost 
“The house of Henderson was indeed fortunate in introducing the Early Giant Bush Lima, a variety of pre-eminent 
merit. It is a robust grower, a prolific a7id continuous bearer of large delicious limas. It is my prediction that 
Henderson's Early Giant Bush Lima has a bright future." W. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 
“ Your Bush Luna Beans—Early Giant—were excellent, fully equal to Pole Limas, and so much earlier. Two 
rows 80 feel long gave us all we could use from July until frost and we gathered liberally. They were so de¬ 
licious.” Mrs. CHARLES MORTON, Chambersburg, Pa. 
*“/ must say the 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. 
The Improved "Henderson 
BUSH LIMA BEAN 
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 introduced— 
the “Henderson” Bush Lima — has stood the test of time, and is now 
more largely grown than all others combined. All impartial critics 
admit that it excels in all essential features. The 
only adverse criticism made on the original varie¬ 
ty was the small size of the individual Bean. In 
the Improved “Henderson,” this is entirely over¬ 
come; the green Bean measures about 1 inch long, 
by % of an inch in breadth, and, further they are 
plump, very tender, and of exquisitely rich, true, but¬ 
tery Lima flavor, whether used green or dried for winter. 
For earliness and continuous productiveness the Improved “Hen¬ 
derson” is a veritable “pick-and-come-again” Lima Bean until 
killed by frost. They are at least 10 to 12 days earlier than other 
types of Bush Limas, and 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Pole Limas.

“Last Spring we sent for a pint of Henderson's Bush Lima Beans a?id I want to say how delicious 
they were and so prolific. I picked between 3and4bus. of beans and when frost came they were stillloaded 
with small pods;I never saw anything to equal them." Mrs. I). B. PA TTERSON, Massena, N. Y
