The “Burpee Improved” Bush 
Lima The pods are truly enormous in size— 
* borne abundantly and weil fiiled with 
handsome beans which are both larger and thicker 
than those of the popular Burpee’s Bush Lima,—and 
fully eight daysearlier. The “Burpee-Improved”’ is 
a distinct “New Creation”? by nature, and not mere- 
ly an improved selection developed by man. It 
differs fromthe best strains of Burpee’s Bush Lima 
in having uniformly much larger pods, producing 
more beans, while both pods and beans are notonly 
larger in size but aiso considerabiy thicker. The 
growth is even more vigorous, with heavier foliage. 
The plants are uniformly upright. Full grown 
bushes measure 30 inches in height and 23 inches 
across the top. The pods are frequently borne 
in what may be called ‘clusters’? of from 5 to 8.

form of the popular “Potato” Lima. Fordhook 
Lima is altegether unique, and has created the 
greatest sensation of any vegetable ever presented. 
VYordhnook Lima has an additional merit over all 
other varieties of the “Potato Lima’? type: The 
green beans, even when of full size, are tender, 
juicy and sweet in flavor when cooked, resembling 
the flavor of the finer varieties of large flat Lima— 
as distinct from the rather dry and mealy charac- 
ter of all other varieties of the Potato, Challenger 
or Lima type.
