Bush Lima Beans —continued 
66 Burpee’s Philadelphia Bush 
Of special value because it matures extremely early. The plants are of upright 
habit and produce pods with the greatest abundance. The earlier ones are 
set quite close to the ground. Clusters of 6 to 8 each are not unusual. The 
individual pods are 4>2 in. long and \yi in. wide, each containing four fair¬ 
sized beans of splendid quality. Pkt. 10^; 1/2 lb. 25 ^; lb. 45^; 
2 lbs. 80^; 5 lbs. $1.40; 10 lbs. or more @ 26fi per lb. 
60 Burpee’s Bush Lima 
This is the original dwarf, large-seeded Bush Lima as first introduced ex¬ 
clusively by Burpee in 1890. It is an immense 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^; lb. 25^; lb. 40^; 
2 lbs. 75^; 5 lbs. $1.35; 10 lbs. or more @ 25;^ per lb. 
68 Wood’s Prolific 
Improved Henderson Bush or Baby Lima. One of the earliest, maturing 
in from 65 to 75 days, so is especially desirable in northern states where 
growing seasons are short. Pods are small, each containing 3 or 4 plump 
beans of delicious, sweet, buttery Lima flavor. Pkt. 10^; Vi lb. 20^f; lb. 35ff; 
2 lbs. 60^; 5 lbs. $1.25; 10 lbs. or more @ 22^ per lb.

Lima Beans 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
Pole Lima Beans greatly outyield the bush varieties per square foot of garden, but they require 
poles or other supports, and mature considerably later. Place 6 to 8 seeds edgewise, with the 
eye downward, around each pole, which are set 4 ft. apart each way. Later thin to 2 or 3 plants 
to a pole. One pound of large-seeded varieties for 75 poles. Do not plant until ground is thor¬ 
oughly warm. Small plantings may be made along a fence or trellis.
