BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. 

 The bushes grow 18 to 20 inches high, stout growth and always erect, yet branching so vigorously that 

 ^ch plant develops into a magnificent circular bush, from 2 to 3 feet in diameter. The bush character 

 is thoroughly established, not one plant in a thousand showing any disposition "to run." It is an im- 

 mense 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 

 tme introduction of this most valuable novelty the largest and best Lima Beans can now be raised in 

 quantity at little cost, without the expense and labor attached to the use of poles. Pint, 15c. Quart,
