ii ii ii =11 =11 ni Bolgiano's "Enormous" Early Bush Limas 1035. This wonderful new Bush Lima is the earliest, largest and best of all large Limas: the vigorous bushes are crowded with enormous pods. The delicious green beans are larger than any other Lima Bean. It yields continuously from June until frost. Both the pods and the luscious flavored beans are much larger and considerably thicker than the Large Bush Lima. The plants grow upright about 30 inches high and 24 inches across, with luxuriant sheltering foliage, and are very sturdy. Often five to eight pods, measuring 5 to 6 inches long by 1J4 inches wide, are borne in clusters on one stalk. The shelled beans, either green or dry, are nearly twice as thick as the large Bush Limas. "Enormous" Bush Limas will outyield Large Bush Limas by 33)^ per cent, on account of the greater size of both pods and beans. The Seed Beans are greenish and very hand- some, while the dried beans of the Large Bush Limas are pure white. Pkt. 10c. y2 Pt. 25c. Pt. 40c. Qt. 75c. 2 Qts. SI.30. 4 Qts. $2.35. Pk. $4.25. Bu. $16.00. "Fordhook" Bush Lima The only stiffly erect bush form of the popular "Potato" Lima Both pods and beans are twice the size of Dreer's Bush Lima and more than half again as large as the Dreer's Pole Lima sSl 1119. Fordhook, Bush Lima is altogether unique. Nothing like it has ever been seen before. Of strong, erect, true bushlike growth, never run- ning, the bushes averaging 20 to 30 inches in height by 20 to 24 inches across the top. The foliage is of heavy texture and very dark green in color. The stalks that produce the blossoms are thrown out from the lateral and main stalks; the pods are borne in "clusters" of from four to eight. The pods resemble those of the Dreer's Bush Lima, but. average more than double the size, measuring from 4 to 5)-^ inches long, about 1 l/i inches wide, by as much as three-fourths of an inch thick. The pods con- tain three to five large beans, with an average of four. Fordhook Bush Lima is fully 33 J^ per cent heavier cropper and there- fore is bound to entirely displace the Dreer's Bush Lima. In season it is from four to six days earlier. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 40c. Qt. 75c. 2 Qts. $1.30. 1 Qts. $2.35. Pk. $4.25. Bu. $16.00. Gianl Podded "Emerald Isle" Pole Lima 1032. A marvelous yielder of great clusters of gigantic pods filled with extra large, thick, most deliciously flavored green Lima Beans. The skin is thin and tender, but will not crack when shipped to market. Emerald Isle Limas are the largest podded, largest seeded, heaviest cropper of all Limas. They are earlier, more prolific, and much larger podded than the King of the Garden. The mammoth pods measure 7 to 8Yi inches in length and 1 )<i to 2 inches in width, and are borne in great clusters which stand out from the foliage. The vines branch or stool out from the main stalk close to the ground, each vein producing 10 to 15 lateral branches. These produce tremendous growth of exceptionally vigorous vines, which grow 10 to 12 feet in height and produce tremendous crops of immense well-filled pods from the bottom to the top. Emerald Isle Pole Lima Beans continue to bear most abundantly until killed by frost. This is the most perfect Pole Lima Bean in- troduced. It grows green; it dries green; it stays green. It excels all others. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 30c. Qt. 60c. 4 Qts. $2.00. Pk. $3.60. Bu. $14.00.
