Green's Large-Seeded Mastodon Pole Lima. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds 

 tested: Burpee, 1906.) Trial too incomplete to fully describe type, but variety is 

 evidently a very fine selection of Salem Mammoth and probably deserving recog- 

 nition as an entirely new and distinct sort. Appeared in our trials to be of same 

 class as Salem Mammoth, but much larger podded, more even, and more productive 

 than that variety. The decidedly curved pods are apparently characteristic of 

 the type. Introduced in 1905 by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., who write the variety 

 originated with a Mr. Green, of Woodbury, N. J.
