POLE BEANS 
See bean prices on preceding page. 
♦GILL’S DELICIOUS GIANT—When we intro¬ 
duced the Oregon Giant bean we felt it could not be 
surpassed for size and quality, but in this cross 
between Oregon Giant and Kentucky Wonder we 
have originated a variety twice as productive, equal 
in size and quality—and we believe the easiest bean 
of all to pick. The beans are produced in clusters 
of 4 to 6, the stems of which protrude outside the 
foliage. We tested seven bean pods that weighed 
one-half pound. It is therefore easily possible to 
pick a pound of beans from three clusters. The 
flavor is unsurpassed and the pods are so meaty 
that they shrink very little when cooked. The pods 
are green, faintly striped with red lines which dis¬ 
appear when cooked. The vines are very vigorous 
and the pods are more rounded than the Oregon 
Giant but fully as long. If you like green beans 
fresh for the table or for canning, do not fail to 
order this. Pkt. 10c; y z lb. 20c; lb. 35c. 
♦OREGON GIANT—Giant pods a foot long; light 
green striped carmine. This wonderful bean is now 
sold by market gardeners at high prices. The qual¬ 
ity is good even in the largest beans. Pkt. 10c; 
V 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c. 
♦KENTUCKY WONDER WAX—This is a wax 
podded Kentucky Wonder and many think it is of 
better flavor. It is a more vigorous grower and 
will yield fully as heavy as the Kentucky Wonder. 
The pods are a light yellow, extra large, broad 
and long and cook very tender. Matures quite early. 
♦WHITE SEEDED KENTUCKY WONDER—Sim¬ 
ilar to Kentucky Wonder with white seed. Many 
gardeners prefer this to Kentucky Wonder. It pro¬ 
duces heavier and is freer from strings. Being 
white seeded, it is valuable for winter use. 
♦KENTUCKY WONDER — A standard variety 
often called Asparagus Bean. It produces excep¬ 
tional yields of long, green pods of fine quality. 
We carry a true strain from careful selection. 
♦LONDON HORTICULTURAL. (Cranberry) — 
Pods green streaked with red. Excellent used 
green, shelled or dry.

cellent used as a butter bean or stored dry for

growth. Pkt. 10c; y z lb. 20c; lb. 35c. 
♦BOSTON PEA BEAN—The plants do not run to 
vine; they ripen early, producing a heavy yield of 
pure white beans slightly smaller than Lady Wash¬ 
ington, but much earlier. The best small white 
bean for commercial growing in the Northwest.
