DWARF LIMA and DWARF WHITE BEANS 
The dwarf lima class cannot be recommended too highly. The 
beans can be grown and gathered much more easily than the pole 
limas, as the vines require no support. They can also be grown 
closer together than those of any pole variety. Dwarf limas are 
fully equal in quality to pole limas and as a rule are earlier 
maturing.
