POLE LIMA AND BUTTER BEANS 
No. 57. Wood’s Improved Pole Lima (Rutter Bean) [75 Days]— An improvement 
r on the small Sieva Lima, the improvement 
being in the size of the beans and pods and in yield. It is remarkably prolific, a continu¬ 
ous bearer, producing its pods in clusters; it is not unusual to find clusters of pods 
ready to pull at a time, and it continues to bear over a long season. We recommend it 
in preference to all other butter bean varieties. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; y z lb. 20c;
