SHELL BEANS. 
*OREGON LIMA —Those who are fond of 
a good lima or butter bean will find nothing 
better than this for our Northwest climate. 
Last season this bean, planted May 20th, ma¬ 
tured ripe seed before frost. The large, 
plump white beans are excellent shelled 
green or used as dry beans. We recommend 
this bean as it is early, hardy and prolific. 
This bean is fully acclimated, as we have 
■grown it for years. Seed very scarce. Pkt., 
20c; lb., 50c; postpaid. E. or F. lb., 45c. 
*Boston Pea or Tree Bean —Very heavy 
yielding early variety that is especially 
adapted for growing in the Northwest. The 
pure white seeds are a little smaller than 
Lady Washington and more rounded. 
We have seen various sorts sold as White 
Wonder, Mexican Tree Bean, etc., all of 
which we believe are the same as this sort. 
Under various conditions last season it 
proved the most profitable of any of the 
small white beans. Seed planted near Port¬ 
land on June 25 matured thoroughly. The 
plants make little foliage and no runners, 
valuable traits when it comes to curing the 
eed. i-lb., 10c; lb., 25c; postpaid. E. or F., 
i>., 20c; 10 lbs., at 18c lb. 
SELF SEASONING —-We have been for¬ 
tunate in securing and growing a limited 
quantity of this very desirable bean. It is 
an old variety, in fact so old as to be nearly 
forgotten, but it has so many good qualities 
we wish to distribute it. The seed are of 
light greenish yellow color and a little 
larger than Lady Washington. The flavor 
when cooked without seasoning is very rich 
and delicious; in fact, they taste just like 
they had been seasoned with bacon. The 
only seasoning they require is salt. Pkt., 
only 20c each. 
White Navy —Small white beans. Heavy 
yieldcr and a great market favorite. J-lb., 
K)c; lb., 25c; postpaid. E. or F., lb., 20c; 10 
lbs. at 17c lb. 
WHITE LENTAL BEAN— The seed of 
this bean is pearly white and about the size 
of Pearl Vetch. They ripen even and early 
and produce good yields. For flavor thev 
are far ahead of any other kind we have 
tried, except the Self Seasoning. This is a 
grand bean for family use. Pkt., 15c; lb., 
35c; postpaid. E. or F., lb., 30c. 
Yellow Swedish —An exceptionally heavy 
yielder which matures early and even. Seed 
are about the size of Lady Washington and 
f a rich golden yellow color. They hold to¬ 
gether well when cooked making a splendid 
baking bean of rich flavor. Pkt., 15c; lb.; 
postpaid. E. or F., lb., 20c; 10 lbs., at 18c lb. 
SWISS CHARD. 
Lucullus—Grows about two and a half 
feet high. The heavy stalks are over an 
inch thick and bare for more than a foot of 
their length. Should be served as you would 
asparagus. The leaves make the finest of 
'‘greens.” Swiss Chard is hardy, easily 
grown and should be in every garden. Pkt., 
10c: oz, 25c; 1-lb., 75c. 
EARLY MODEL BEETS. 
TABLE BEETS. 
Plant in rows 3 feet wide, with drill, April 
1st to June 1st. Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart 
for table beets and. 8 to 12 inches for man¬ 
gels. For winter beets the later sowing is 
best. 
*EARLY MODEL — We consider this, af¬ 
ter several trials, to be the best all-around 
table beet for this section. Its extreme earli 
ness, perfect uniform shape and rich coloring 
throughout make it the best market and gar¬ 
den beet. Entirely free from strings or core. 
We have grown them for market and they 
have given fine satisfaction. By careful se¬ 
lection we have developed a strain of this 
beet that is more uniform than any we have 
ever seen and our seed of this sort is of our 
own growing and fully acclimated. While 
we are compelled to ask more for this seed, 
it will more than justify you in the quality 
and quantity of the crop. .Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
1 -lb.. 60c; lb., $1.90; postpaid. E. or F., 
lb., $1.85.
