 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

 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;
