63 Burpee’s Improved Bush LimaO 
Another World Famous Burpee Introduction 
75 days. The best of the flat-seeded Bush Limas, and a decided improve¬ 
ment over Burpee’s Bush. The seeds and pods are larger, and the plants 
are more productive. The Beans are considerably thicker and retain their 
fresh green color for a longer time. Plants of Burpee’s Improved are large 
and vigorous, meeting in a three foot row under average conditions. They 
are of true bush habit, but when well grown will send out lateral, pod bear¬ 
ing branches which rarely exceed 18 in. in length and do not require 
support. Pods are 4^ to in. long, and 1 to in. broad, slightly curved 
and moderately thick, containing 4 or 5 very large beans of attractive ap¬ 
pearance and fine quality. Burpee’s Iifiproved is popular where a lima with 
a somewhat flatter seed than Fordhook is demanded. It is easy to shell. 
Distinct enough from Fordhook in shape and flavor, it supplements rather 
than competes with that excellent variety. Try both kinds in your garden 
this season. You can’t go wrong with either. Pkt. lOjzf; lb. 25}zf;

Burpee’s Improved 
Bush Lima Bean 
60 Burpee’s Bush Lima 
78 days. The original dwarf, large-seeded Bush Lima. 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. 
Pods grow to 5 in. long and contain 3 or 4 large beans of excellent quality.

delicious, sweet, buttery Lima flavor. Plants are very prolific.
