26 FORDHOOK U. S. 242. The Best Bush Lima. The 
finest and most popular lima bean 
in the country for both market and home use. It has entirely replaced 
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
