THE AZTEC BEAN 
It is one of the largest beans known. It grows in 
bush form, just like the Lima Bean, and is peren¬ 
nial in places where it is not too cold or too frosty. 
It grows like any other bean, but stands a great deal 
of drought. Its flavor is unexcelled. Dry beans can 
be cooked just like Lima Beans. It is very prolific, 
and we recommend anyone who raises beans to give 
it a trial. Late frost in spring will not kill the young 
vines. Package 25c 5 packages $1.00 
1 lb. 40c —limit 5 lbs.
