24 Giant Butter or

85 days. Giant Butter or Fava Beans are much 
hardier than other beans and should be planted 
as early in the spring as the ground can be worked; 
they will not thrive in summer heat. Plants are 
large and erect, true bush form, and heavy yield- 
ers. Pods are glossy green, 7 in. long, and quite 
broad, and contain 5 to 7 large, broad, flat, light

a winter shell bean. Flavor is somewhat like that 
of the pea. Becoming very popular. One pkt.
