implies, attains a great size. It is the largest of all 
the limas and is exceedingly prolific as by pruning 
the bushes at the right season, they can be made to 
bear at least two crops a year for several years. The 
beans are exceptionally fine flavored and considered 
by many to be better than any other lima bean grown. 
Plant 6 ft. by 6 ft. about the 1st of April, leaving 
one plant to the hill. After they come into bearing, 
they will continue until frost cuts down the tender 
growth, when they should be pruned similarly to grape 
vines. Shortly after, new growth will appear which, 
by early summer, will be producing another crop. In 
July the vines will become mildewed. They should be 
pruned as before and by October the 3rd crop will be 
ready to pick. Pkt. 10c, % lb. 25c, lb. 60c, postpaid;
