Burpee'5 

 Bush Lima 



The ONLY BUSH form of the TRUE LARGE 

 Lima Bean. 



Needs no stakes, trellises, or other support. 



Undoubtedly the most remarkable novelty in Vege- 

 tables. It beKius bearing as early as the large Lima 

 Pole Bean, and its proliflcness is sliown b}- the fact 

 that a single plant last season gave 358 pods. The 

 illustrafiou lierewith is not exaggerated, but has been 

 accurately reproduced from nature — natural size. 



It comes Absolutely True from Seed, 



and creates a sensation wherever grown. 



Priceof THE GENUINE SEED: 



Per liberal packet, 15 cents ; 2 packets 25 cts. ; J4pint 

 tOcts.; pint 75 cts.; quart SI. JO; postpaid by mail. 

 By express $1.25 per quart; four quarts or more,
