Bush Lima. 



The "Burpee-Improved 



A Distinct "New Creation," the Largest and Best of All Bush Lima Beans! 

 It differs from the best strains of Burpee's Bush Lima in having 

 uniformly much larger pods, producing more beans, while both 

 pods and beans are not only larger in size but also considerably 

 thicker. The growth is even more vigorous, with heaver foliage. 

 The plants are uniformly upright. Even when of full size the 

 enormous beans are of the most luscious flavor; they are thin 

 skinned and truly delicious; they are ready to market eight to 

 ten days earlier. Per pkt. 15 cts.; Yi pint 25 cts.; pint 

 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight: per pint 30 cts.; 

 quart 50 cts.; 2 quarts 90 cts.; per peck $3.00.

 hardy character allows the seed to be planted earlier than any white-seeded sweet 

 corn, so that it gives the earliest ears possible to produce. For full description, —

 pkt. 15 cts.; l /2 pint 20 cts.; per pint 30 cts., postpaid. By express: Per pint
