SU RrPEe’s BW Sse LIMA. 
THE ONLY BUSH FORM OF THE TRUE LARGE LIMA BEAN.

and only true bush form of the luscious 
large Lima Bean. 
BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA 
comes absolutely true from seed. 
The bushes grow eighteen to twenty 
inches high, of stout growth and 
alwayserect, yet branching so vigor- 
ously that each plant develops into a 
magnificient circular bush, from two | 
feet to three feet in diameter. ‘The 
leaves, are of very large size and great 
substance. The bush character is 
thoroughly established, not one plant 
in a thousand showing any disposition 
to ‘“‘run.” The thickness of the main 
stalk and branches of the plant, as also 
the unusual size, healthy green color 
and thick leathery substance of the 
leaves indicate the strong constitution 
of this variety, by which it is enabled 
to bear large crops, and is also a sure 
cropper. It is an zmmense yielder, 
each bush bearing from 50 to 200 of 
the handsome large pods, well filled 
with very large beans, which are 
identical in size and luscious flavor to 
the well known large pole Limas, By 2 : :
