Mammoth Podded Lima Bean
There are so many new “Bush” Limas coming out that a grand sort like this is likely to be overlooked. As a rule a bush sort will not produce one-third the crop of a good pole variety, and is also greatly inferior in size, quality and other respects. This new mammoth podded variety is by far the finest of Limas. It is a great cropper, the enormous pods containing 4, 5 or 6 beans each, which are also very large. Its quality is the best, and if you grow Limas this is the best for you to have above all others. Pkt., 15c; pt., 50c.
