This valuable variety is a perfected form of Dreer's Bush Lima, which variety it resembles in form of pod and shape of bean, but both are larger and the plant is of strong upright growth, protecting the pods from contact with the soil, thus preventing rust or rot.

It is now largely grown by market gardeners not only on account of its productiveness, but also because their customers call for it. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 85 cts. (if by Parcel Post add as stated at top of page 15); 10 lbs., $ Dreer's Bush Lima.
