BUSH LIMAS BEST KINDS 



THE earliest of all is Henderson s Improved- Bush Lima, 

 which is of the type known in the South as Sierra or 

 Butter Bean. Its one drawback is its exceptionally small 

 size, pods containing but three beans each. However, it 

 is most dependable under widely varying conditions of 

 soil and season. 



Burpeefs Bush Lima is the standard and most widely 

 pown sort in cultivation to-day, bearing large quantities 

 of pods with four beans each, in eighty-five days from 

 date seeds are sown. Dreer's Kumerle or Potato Lima is 

 a sort with short pods and thick beans. The plants are 

 of much more spreading habit than any others described 

 here. The prize for quality must be awarded to Ford- 

 book Bush Lima, however, which bears thick pods with 

 fat beans on the order of old-fashioned "potato lima" 

 which are fully as large as those of Burpee's Bush Lima, 

 much thicker through, and of green color. Burpee 

 Improved, as illustrated above, is the largest podded sort 

 of the dwarf type.
