LIMA 

58 FORDHOOK * 
The most popular lima bean of all (75 days) 
This most famous of all lima beans has short, erect, and bushy plants which produce 
a thick growth of dark green foliage, protecting the blossoms and pods from direct 
sunlight. The large, thick pods are produced in clusters of from 5 to 8, and contain 
3 to 5 thick, meaty, plump, always green beans of excellent flavor. The sturdy, vigor- 
ous plants grow 24 to 30 inches high, spread out nearly 2 feet, and stand up well 
against wind and rain. They begin to bear early and continue to produce for a long 
time. Because of its earliness, the large size of the bean, and the long bearing season 
this strain is most popular, and is especially appreciated in sections where the sum- 
mers are comparatively short. Our seed stock is of a specially selected strain formerly 
known as Improved Fordhook, and is the best you've ever seen.
