BEANS 
For years the buying of seed beans for distribution to 
our customers has been one of careful consideration as to 
type and quality. For the most part, this seed, which in- 
cludes most of the green pod and wax varieties, has been 
grown in Idaho, where the soil and climate have been 
adaptable to growing crops of an excellent quality. We 
are pleased to offer our beans, feeling sure that they are 
the best obtainable, both from a standpoint of purity 
and high germination available. For your benefit we are 
listing the maturity of the following varieties, which in 
the case of the wax and green sorts, indicates the number 
of days necessary to produce snap pods, and in the lima 
bean class, the number of days in which to produce green 
shell beans. The field class designates the time required 
to produce fully matured dry shell beans.
