1945 All-America Selections Winner – a universal favorite wherever it's grown. A dwarf form of the Potato Lima that has continued to gain in popularity over the years because of its dwarf growth and great productiveness. Pods are produced in clusters and contain 4 to 5 large, fat beans that are packed closely together for easy shelling. Tender, juicy, sweet and buttery, they are outstanding as a freezing bean. Ideally suited to the small home garden, as well as to the large acreage of the market gardener. Plants have a sturdy, upright growth habit, thus keeping pods off the ground preventing injury by wind or rain and helping to avoid Rust and Rot. Always in heavy demand, so we suggest that you order early. Ready for table use in 75 days.
