Nature's Two Unique and ViondeHul 



"New Creations" in Busii Limas! 



Nature has surely surpassed herself! In a single season she has outstripped all 



efforts of man. In fact, such distinct new types have never even been dreamed of 



before. 



Look at the illustrations shown of the Burpee-Lmproved and Fordhook Bush 



Limas, recall to mind the largest and best pods of Lima Beans you have ever 



seen, and you must agree with us that this is a most remarkable find To 



learn just what they really are and how they were discovered, kindly %\.\xA^ pages 



jc to i§ ^/ The Farm Annual for 1907. These two most unique new Bush 



Limas will be worth many thousands of dollars annually to the gardeners of 



America. They are undoubtedly the "Greatest Novelties of the 



Ase." 



The Burpee-Improved :!NeJcre£ 



tion." The pods are truly enormous in size, 

 borne in great abundance upon bushes two 

 and one-half feet high by two feet across. 

 The beans are both larger and thicker than 

 those of the popular Burpee's Bush Lima or 

 any strain of the large White Pole Lima. 



Fordhook Bush Lima Xti. 



Nothing like it has ever been secu beiore. It 



IS the first and only stiffly erect Bush form of 

 the fat "Potato Lima." Both pods and beans 

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

 again as large as the Challenger Pole Lima.
