BEANS—BUSH LIMA 
_ PEERLESS LIMA 69 Days 
A bush lima, developed and released by 
U.S.D.A., primarily for canning and freezing 
trade. 
The bush is distinctly different from other lima 
types (with exception of Fordhook 242) in that 
main stem is very short, supporting many erect 
branches. 
Pods are set at base of branches in a cluster 
like manner, being difficult to pick by hand, 
but ideally suited to vining. Pods are shorter 
than 242, curved, containing 2-3 beans. 
Beans at table maturity are excellent green, 
flavor and quality unexcelled, prolific, particu- 
larly in eastern part of U.S. Variety has same 
excellent ability to set under adverse weather 
conditions. Dry seed slightly smaller than Ford- 
hook 242—and very uniform CANNER and 
FREEZER.
