New and Better Vegetales 
Fordhook U. S. 242 Lima Bean 
All-America Bronze Medal Winner for 1945. This 
new heavy-yielding strain is a real improvement 
over the famous Fordhook Bush Lima. Years of 
careful breeding by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture 
at Beltsville, Md., have produced a strain that will 
consistently outyield Fordhook under average condi- 
tions and will produce much better crops in hot dry 
weather. The plants are somewhat larger and more 
' vigorous, and they produce a better set of pods on 
‘the early pickings. The pods are uniform, nearly 
. Straight, and well filled with 3 or 4 plump thick 
Beans of the finest type. The dry seeds average 
. Slightly smaller and the pods are a trifle narrower 
but otherwise they are identical to the best Ford- 
* hook. In addition they hold their fine uniform size 
and shape throughout the entire season. Pkt., 15c; 
1% Ih., 35c; 1 lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $3.00.
