“Baby Potato” Bush Lima Bean. (60 days.) 
You probably remember the desirable quali- 
ties of Henderson’s ‘’Baby’’ Lima. This new 
baby, which received the highest points in 
1939 cémpetition and was awarded a Silver 
Medal, resembles the 12- to 16-inch bush de- 
velopment of Henderson. Its pods are really 
large, very freely produced and filled with 
chubby little beans of delicious Lima flavor. 
Because of its unmatched earliness; the ten- 
der, green eating stage, and the creamy 
white matured dry stage, both occur safely 
before injury by the cold which menaces 
such crops.
