 always borne in clusters of from 4 to (>. The well-filled pods contain from 4 to 6 thick 

 rne.\tv i)eans. The shelled beans are of the Potato Lima type and are always of the 

 nne-^t llavor. Our spfd has boon srrown from the finest selected stocks. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 pint, 30 cts.; quart, 60 cts.; peck, $4.25; bushel, $16.00.
