DWARF BUSH LIMA 
I consider the Henderson’s Bush Lima the best for the Corn 
Belt. Burpee’s and Fordhook are both good ones and are large 
varieties. Henderson’s is a little smaller, and sometimes called 
Baby Lima. 
One pound will plant 40 feet of drill. 
Culture: Sow after danger of frost is over. Sow in rows 2 feet 
apart', 3 inches deep; beans 2 inches apart in the row. Later 
thin, so plants stand 6 to 8 inches apart. 
116—HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA or Baby Lima. This is 
the popular Baby Lima Bean. It is the small Lima type 
for the home garden, and is also in big demand for can¬ 
ning. Very productive, bearing well filled pods throughout 
the entire season. By all means plant some of this great 
little bean. Pkt., 5c; Vi lb.. 18c; lb., 30c; 3 lbs., 80c; 
5 lbs., $1.20, postpaid. (See colored picture, Page 47.) 
114—BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH DIMA. Vigorous, large size, 
the single beans of Burpee’s Improved are larger and of better 
quality than the original Burpee’s Bush Lima. An immense 
yielder. The pods are 5 to 6 inches long. Pkt., 5c; Vi lb., 20c; 
lb., 35c; 3 lbs., 90c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
112—FORDHOOK. An improved form of the popular Potato 
Lima. Big pods and large beans. Pods measure 4 to 5 inches. 
Dependable yielder for the middle west. Fine beans of the 
finest flavor. Pkt., 5c; Vi lb., 18c; lb., 30c; 3 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1.20, 
postpaid- 
Culture: Put 6 seeds in each hill; hills 3 feet apart each way. 
Require a pole 7 feet high. When vines reach top, pinch them 
to increase the yield. 
122 — CHIEF HOPI DIMA BEAN. This is a new Lima Bean grown 
by Hopi (Snake Dancing) Indians of Arizona. Heavy yielder, 
resistant to drought. A trifle larger than the Henderson’s Baby 
Lima. Try this one, it has the genuine Big Lima flavor. 
Pkt., 5c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 35o; 3 lbs., 95c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
120 — KINO OF THE GARDEN. This standard market sort is one
