63 Burpee's Improved Bush Lima BeanO 
Another World Famous Burpee Introduction 
75 days. The best of the flat-seeded bush limas, and a decided improvement over Burpee’s Bush 
The seeds and pods are larger, and the plants are more productive. 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-bearing branches which rarely exceed 18 in. in length 
and do not require support. Pods are 4^ to 5# in. long, and 1 to 1 yi in. broad, slightly curved and 
moderately thick, containing 4 or 5 very large beans of attractive appearance and fine quality. 
Burpee’s Improved 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. 10^; Burpee s Improved

60 Burpee's Bush Lima 
78 days. The original dwarf, large-seeded Bush Lima. First introduced exclusively 
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, Ji 8 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 \]/ 2 to 5 in. long 
and contain 3 or 4 large beans of excellent quality.

sweet, buttery lima flavor. Plants are very prolific, and while they begin to bear very 
early, they will continue to produce until killed by frost.

results under varied conditions of soil and climate. This mark O, usually called a bull’s eye, was used 
by the ancient alchemists to represent gold. It therefore is most appropriate for indicating the varieties 
which we consider the best of their class. If you are not thoroughly posted which varieties to choose 
as the most suitable for your particular section, we suggest that you make your selection from those 
marked with the bull’s eye. They have been found most reliable under all conditions.
