51 Burpee's Best (New)

 plump pods of Fordhook Bush Lima to which it is similar in quality and flavor. Burpee's 

 Best is e.\ceptionally vigorous, growing to a height of 10 to 12 feet with great clusters

57 Carolina or Sieva 



Baby Lima or Butter Bean of the South 



(75 days) Grows quickly, matures early, and is immensely productive. It is particularly 

 adapted for planting in the South; also it does equally well in the North, especially in 

 sections where early frosts will not permit other Lima Beans to mature a crop. An out- 

 standing and most desirable characteristic is the continuity with which the pods are 

 borne until frost. Pods are usually 3,^ in. long and J4 in. wide with 3 or 4 beans. The 

 green shell beans are small, flat, and of splendid quality. Pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 35c;

 in length, containing on the average 5 large, tender, buttery beans of extra large size 

 and superb flavor. The plants are vigorous and productive and grow so rapidly that 

 they make a quick growth of foliage which soon covers the poles. This is an out- 

 standing variety and is popular with home and market gardeners. Pkt. 10c;
