Great Northern Navy Bean. 
Great Northern Navy Bean — This variety seems to be espe- 
cially adapted to Montana soil and climate, and is being 
grown in increasing quantity each season. In our opin- 
ion it leads all other varieties of Navy Beans— when the 
real test comes— at the ti^le. Its flavor and tenderness 
as a baked bean are "par excellence." 
Sow to to 24 lbs. to the Acre. 
Improved White Navy— The result of years of careful 
growing and selecting. Far superior in both quality and 
proiluel i^ eness to the comlmon sorts. 'I'he vine is of 
rni-diuin size, erect, bearing a profusion of long pods 
well up from the ground. The dry beans are small, pure 
wliile and of fine appearance. 
Boston Yellow Eye — While much larger quantities of White 
Beans of t.he Navy type are used than of all olher varie- 
ties combined, those who know about the Boston Yellow 
Kye pi'etVr them to any other Bean for cooking as they 
possess a rjchn<'ss and flavor known to no other variety.
