the same time as Wax Beans, they mature a crop of shell beans by August.

beans of unusual thickness. The plants grow in stiff, erect bushes, holding the 



pods well off the ground. The beans are tender, sweet and juicy. 



Burpee's Improved Bush Lima (New Wonder)— The largest, earliest and best of all 



the large Dwarf Limas. Compared with the old Burpee Bush Lima, it is about 



ten days earlier, the pods and beans are much larger and the beans twice as 



thick.
