Improved Large Bush Lima Beans. This is one of the greatest of modern vegetable introductions and we have 

 secured for our customers some seed of it direct from the introducer. 



This bean produces magnificent crops of pods, which measure from five to six inches long by one and one-quarter inches 

 wide. As compared with the original Burpee Bush Lima, both pods and beans are very much larger, while the beans, either 

 green or dry, are nearly twice as thick. The beans have the same luscious flavor as the best flavored Limas, and are ready 

 to use six to eight days earlier. It will outyield the Burpee Bush Lima by fully one-third, this greater yield being due to the 

 increased size of both pod and beans. The dried beans are very handsome and generally show a greenish-white coloring.
