HENDERSON BUSH (Baby Lima) HMCF BICEP 65 
Most widely used of the lima beans for home and market gardens, principal canner 
variety because of its productiveness, hardiness, resistance to disease. Our improved 
strain is very valuable for its earliness and uniformity in development of green shelled 
beans. Recommended as adapted to freezing preservation. 
VINE —l!6 inches tall, vigorous, productive, erect, very uniform growth. 
PODS —3 to 3!/4 inches long, dark green, broad-flat, slightly curved, 3 to 4 seeds 
per pod. 
SEED —Color, entirely creamy white, small flat. A fine dry shell bean. 
JACKSON WONDER SPECKLED or Calico H BIDET 68 
A popular bean in the South. Noted for its extreme hardiness. 
VINE —16 to 20 inches tall, spreading, glossy dark green, highly productive. 
PODS —3 to 3 inches long, dark green, broad-flat, somewhat curved, 3 to 4 seeds 
per pod. 
SEED —Color, buff field splashed with purplish black. 
PEERLESS (U. S. 243) CF BORSK 70 
This is a processing lima with the quality of Fordhook Bush, and’ a few days earlier 
and definitely more uniform in maturity of pods. Developed by Drs. Roy Maaruder 
and R. E. Wester, U. S. D. A. It is one of the best for cannina and freezing preserva- 
tion. 
VINE —I!I6 to 20 inches tall, erect, medium large, vigorous, dull dark areen leaflets 
of medium size, prolific with pods borne mostly close to the ground. 
PODS —3 to 3 inches long, broad-plump, slightly curved, 2 to 4 light to medium 
green beans per pod. 
SEED —Color, white, tinged with green, medium size and thickness. 
THOROGREEN or Green Seeded Henderson CF BRETT 66 
The original Green Seeded Lima, which has now been selected to a fine uniform 
stock. Supergreen, Clark's Bush, and Cangreen are all similar types and are being 
highly recommended. A valuable addition for canners and freezers as the green 
cotyledon eliminates the white seeds which appear from overmature pods in regular 
Hendersons at the processing stage. 
VINE —I6 inches tall, vigorous, productive, similar to Henderson. 
PODS —3 inches long, 3 to 4 seeds per pod, similar to Henderson. 
SEED —Has green cotyledon, giving dry seed a green color.
