Hendersons NEW EARLY GIANT BUSH LIMA BEAN
PLANTS TRUE BUSH ENORMOUS BEANS TENDER, RICH and BUTTERY
No Poles, No Stakes Equalling Those of Pole Limas The True Lima Taste
NEW EARLY GIANT. With great confidence we urge our
customers to grow this Bean, the acme of perfection in a type of
vegetable which we ourselves introduced many years ago. It is
the best possible Bush Lima Bean, possessing every quality so long
known and esteemed in the older pole varieties, and can be grown
as easily as any Snap Bean. It produces pods of enormous size,
which are well-filled with large, thick, fleshy Beans of perfect quality,
just as good in flavor, just as tender, and just as numerous as any
of the climbing varieties.
The pods are long, very broad, and thick enough to keep the
Beans tender for a long period, and are produced in enormous
quantities all through the growing season.
It is the earliest of the large bush sorts, and may therefore be had
on the table weeks ahead of the old pole varieties. The strong,
rugged plant produces so freely and continuously that a small
planting will ensure an abundant supply of the most delicious
Beans right up to frost. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 2 pkts. for
25c, 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.25 for 4 qts., $4.00 pk.
"The house of Henderson was indeed fortunate in introducing the Early Giant
Bush Lima, a variety of pre-eminent merit. It is a robust grower, a prolific ana
continuous bearer of large delicious Limas. It is my prediction that Henderson's
Early Giant Bush Lima has a bright future."
W. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y.
"Your Bush Lima Beans — 'Early Giant — were excellent, fully equal to Pole
Limas, and so much earlier. Two rows 30 feet long gave us all we could use from
July until frost and we gathered liberally. They were so delicious."
Mrs. CHARLES MORTON, Chamber sburg. Pa.
"I must say the Early Giant are the best Bush Limas I ever grew for size, bearing
and flavor. The plants hung full all summer and fall."
G. L. JOHNSON, Springfield, Mass.
Improved "Henderson" Bush Lima Bean
YIELDS CONTINUOUSLY FROM EARLY SUMMER TO
FROST-SUITABLE FOR ALL SECTIONS, NORTH and SOUTH
The original Bush Lima Bean, the "Henderson," was defective in size, and though,
because of its extreme earliness, thousands of our customers were enabled to grow
Lima Beans where none had grown before, the defect remained until the introduc-
tion of the Improved "Henderson," which is at least 50 per cent, larger than the
original. Though a day or two later, it is still 10 days earlier than other bush
forms, and weeks earlier than any of the pole varieties, yet retaining all the
remarkable qualities of its predecessor, which was, without doubt, the most
^^ remarkable vegetable novelty of the last century.
Ilk The Improved "Henderson" is a perfect all-around variety, it grows ,as
Hk freely and is just as dependable in the North as in the South, in fact,
^^ it is the only one suitable for all sections. The quality is excellent,
)ssessing the rich, buttery flavor common to all Limas. (See
