A strong grower, productive, and ripening a large part of the crop 

 before frost, although not so early as two or tliree of the varieties of 

 the large Lima. This variety can be strongly recommended for its 

 quality and for the large yield of shelled beans in proportion to the 

 bulk of pods.
