26 FORDHOOK U. S. 242. The Best Bush Lima. Intro- 
duced only a couple of years 
ago but already the most popular lima bean in the country for both 
market and home use. It consistently out-yields the old Fordhook 
under almost all conditions, sets big crops even in hot dry weather and 
has proved a great boon to all lima bean growers. 
The plants are large and vigorous—only a few rows in the garden 
will give an ample supply for the average family. The pods set heavily 
early in the season and continue right through till frost. Good-sized, 
uniform and well-filled, they shell out plump, thick beans of the finest 
quality. The flavor is delicious and they are not only excellent to eat 
fresh but also the best for canning and freezing. We recommend this 
strain most highly.
