Henderson’s New Early Giant Bush Lima Bean. 
This newest and best Bush Lima represents the highest achievement in bean breeding. 
AVc — 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, IJ feet in height, are of healthy, sturdy, 
upright growth—requiring neither ])oles nor stakes—and bear, from July until frost, almost 
unbelievable quantities of 5 to (> 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 ])ods 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 ijickings nt 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, 20c., 6 packets for $1.00. (Delivered free in 
the United States.) 
IMPROVE 
'“HENDERSON 
BUSH LIMA 
BEAN 
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 adverse 
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 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. 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. (See cut.) Price
