 borne in great abundance upon bushes two

 those of the popular Burpee's Bush Lima or 

 any strain of the large White Pole Lima.

Nothing like it has ever been seen before. It 

 is the first and only stiiifly erect Bush form of 

 the fat "Potato Lima." Both pods and beans 

 are twice the size of Dreer's and more than half 

 again as large as the Challenger Pole Lima.
