Ed. as near as can I can tell China Doll is a trade name, of the China Doll/ Dixie Lily company
https://dixielily.com/about-us... They will be standard American limas grown in The USA. May be several varieties. I have grown store bought dry beans with no problems. I have become more variety specific in my old age, but when I just need to fill in with with an unknown variety I will use store bought dry beans. In recent years they have all been bush beans. But in my youth many of the baby limas were pole beans. Today with mechanical harvesting a necessity all bush. They also have dry giant limas under the China doll label as well multiple other beans , rice, lentils etc. Dixie Lily and China Doll products are the same just different labels.
