McCREA’S LIMA 
Entirely new and different. Strong, stocky bush with big root- 
system. Small pod like a Baby Lima but Beani large, thick, Potato 
type. 
Will stand cold and wet weather in the spring much better than 
other large-seeded Limas. 
Will stand extreme heat in summer much better than other large- 
seeded Linms. 
Green-seeded, retaining a green tint when cooked. 
Dry seed small and shriveled, like a sugar pea, requiring less seed 
for planting than other large-seeded Limas. 
'^The New Bush Lima That Is Different, 
and Has Real Merit'^ 
By weight, larger percentage of Beans and less percentage 
of pods than other large-seeded Limas. 
Unusually sweet flavor, different from any other Lima. 
Very prolific—pods in a crown setting with three to five 
Beans in a pod. 
An ideal home-garden Lima. 
On account of the flavor and green tint when cooked, we 
believe this new Lima will be a popular market gardener's 
variety even though the pods are small. 
Dry Beans, when cooked, swell to same size as 
the green Beans, retaining the sweet flavor, thus 
being an exceptionally fine dry Lima for winter use. 
Tested and proved by canners, resulting in a 
sample “pack" of real merit. The largfe plump 
Bean, tender, thin-skinned, of very sweet flavor, re¬ 
tains the green color and does not break up in the 
can. A Bean that canners have wanted for years.
