PLANTS TRUE BUSH ;

ENORMOUS PODS AND BEANS; 
A FEW OF MANY REPORTS ABOUT 
Henderson's Early Giant Bush Lima 
ALL TELL.THE SAME STORY; 
“ Your Bush Lima Beans—Early Giant—were ex¬ 
cellent, fully equal to Pole Limas, and 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. CHAS. MORTON, Chambersburg, Pa. 
“ 7 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. 
“7 think I have tried all Bush Limas thus far intro¬ 
duced and give the palm for superiority to your Early 
Giant. It proved an early, prolific and continuous 
bearer of the largest limas, fully equaling in size those 
of my pole limas. " 
JOHN L. PETERS, Topeka, Kansas.

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, H feet in height/are of healthv, 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 bevond the ordinarv, 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 con¬ 
tinuity 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.

“HENDERSON’ 
BUSH LIMA

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 “Hender¬ 
son ” 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 ad¬ 
verse criticism made on the original variety was the small 
size of the individual bean. In the Improved “Henderson,” 
this is entirely overcome; the green bean measures 
about 1 inch long, by $ of an inch in breadth, and, 
further, they are plump, very tender, and of ex¬ 
quisitely rich, true, buttery Lima flavor, 
whether used green or dried for winter. 
For earliness and continuous productive¬ 
ness the Improved “Henderson” is a veri¬ 
table “ 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; this enables them to be grown 
in many sections of the country where 
the seasons are too short for other Limas.
