ANOTHER WORLD FAMOUS BURPEE INTRODUCTION 
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima is the best known and most generally grown of any Bush Lima Bean 
ever introduced, and has been steadily increasing its lead each year since 1907, when Burpee introduced 
and first offered it to the gardeners throughout the world. It is a wonderful improvement over the 
original Burpee Bush Lima—larger pods, bigger beans, greater yield, and fully 8 days earlier. The 
pods are enormous, borne profusely in clusters of from 5 to 8 , andcrowded with four or five appetizing 
Beans. Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima is the largest podded and most prolific of the Bush Limas. 
The pods are 5 to 6 in. long; \]/^ in. wide. Even when fully matured the beans are of luscious flavor. 
The plants make a uniform, vigorous, upright growth, with heavy foliage. The blossom-bearing stalks 
are thrown well out from the foliage; the pods are 
frequently borne in clusters of 4 or 5 held well 
above the foliage. We counted two “clusters” of 
which one had nine and the other ten large per¬ 
fect pods containing from four to eight Beans to 
the pod. In the same trials the green beans of 
Burpee’s Improved averaged yi in. longer, % in. 
wider, and yi in. thicker than adjoining fields of 
the regular Burpee’s Bush Lima. Full-grown 
bushes measure 30 in. in height and 24 in. across 
the top. Matures in 85 to 90 days after sowing.

60 Burpee’s Bush Lima 
This is the original dwarf, large-seeded Bush Lima as first 
introduced exclusively by Burpee in 1890. It is an im¬ 
mense yielder. The pods and beans, however, are not so 
large, nor are the bushes so prolific, as those of the Burpee 
Improved Bush Lima. The bushes, 18 to 24 in. tall, are 
of stout, erect growth, yet branching so vigorously that 
each plant develops into a rounded plant about 2 ft. in 
diameter. Pkt. 10(2; l / 2 lb. 25(2; lb. 35(2; 2 lbs. 65(2;

This excellent Burpee variety is of special value because it 
matures extremely early. The plants are of upright habit 
and produce pods with the greatest abundance. The 
earlier pods are set quite close to the ground. Clusters of

4K in. long and 1 % in. wide, each containing four fair¬ 
sized beans of splendid quality. Pkt. 15^; V 2 lb. 25(2;
