"THE MOST REMARKABLE OF NEW VEGETABLES." BURPEE'S Bush Lima. THE ONLY BUSH FORM OF THE TRUE LARGE LIMA BEAN.
Text Appearing After Image:
BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA is nniversally conceded to be altogether unique and the most valuable novelty of the age. It is the first and only true bush form of the luscious large Lima Bean, and must not be confounded Trith Henderson^s Busk Lima, which is the small Carolina (Sieva or Sewee) Bean, nor with the Kumerle or Dreefs Bush Lima, which is a dwarf type of the small chubby Dreer's or Potato Lima. BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA comes absolutely true from seed. The bushes grow eighteen to twenty inches high, of stout growth and always erect, yet branching so vig- orously that each plant develops into a magnificent circular bush, from iwo feet to three feet in diameter. The leaves are of very large size and great substance. The bush character is thoroughly established, not one plant in a thousand showing any ^\ disposition to *'run." The thickness of the main stalk and branches of the /T T JTjk plant, as also the unusual size, healthy green color and thick leathery substance I of the leaves indicate the strong constitution of this variety, by which it is V WMmJ/ enabled to bear large crops, and is also a sure cropper. It is an immense yieJder, each bush bearing from 50 to 200 of the handsome large pods, well filled with very large beans, which are identical in size and luscious flavor to the well known large pole Limas. By the introduction of this most valuable novelty", the largest and best Lima Beans can now be raised in quantity' at small cost, without the expense and labor attached to the use of poles. BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA is sold only in sealed packets, each bearing our Trade- Mark Monogram, but we are pleased to announce that this season we are enabled to offer it in liberal packets at a price within the reach of all. Per pkt. 20 cts.; 3 pkts. 50 cts.; 7 pkts. for $1.00, postpaid by mail. See next page for particulars of Over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS in Cash Prizes. 3
