Nature's Two Unique and Wonderful 



"New Creations'' in Bush 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-Improved 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 

 study pages 10 to 15 of 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 Age. ' ' 



is an entirely " New Crea- 

 tion." The pods are truly enor- 

 mous m 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 1 s Bush Lima or any strain of the large White Pole Lima. 



This is altogether unique. Nothing 



like it has ever been seen before. 



It is the first and only stiffly 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.
