and thick of the potato type. Each pod contains 
four or five large seeds which retain a green tint 
when cooked. The dry seed is small and shriveled 
like a Sugar Pea and requires less seed per plant¬ 
ing. When cooked the bean swells to a very large, 
size. The flavor is unusually sweet and different 
from any other lima. It is an exceptionally fine 
dry lima for winter \ise. The large plump bean
