Lima Beans - Henderson Heirloom

Debuting in 1889 by Peter Henderson Company of New York, the Henderson Bush Lima Bean is a small bean, fooling many into thinking that it was picked prematurely. In reality it is a dwarf bean which offers several distinctive advantages. It is an early and strong bean which can better withstand colder weather and attacking diseases then other members in its bean family. Yet the plants hardiness does not sacrifice its dinner table appeal, as this lima produces small creamy white beans which are excellent in taste.
