BUSH BEANS 
CULTURE—Plant about May 1st for early beans, or as soon as the ground becomes warm, in rows 
24% to 3 feet apart except pole beans, 344 to 4 feet. 
Cover from 114 to 3 inches deep according to 
weather conditions. Large seeded beans require warmer weather to germinate than small beans. Never 
cultivate or hoe beans when the foliage is wet from dew or rains, as it will cause rust. Where beans 
have not previously been grown on the land it is valuable to use NITRAGIN.

Y, Ib. 25c; lb. 40c. For 4th zone and 
beyond. Lb. 45c. Not prepaid, Ib. 35c; 
10 lbs. of one variety @ 32¢ lb. Write for 
prices on larger quantities. 
GILL’S RELIABLE—A pioneer bean 
found under various names throughout 
the Pacific Northwest. This strain has 
been grown in our family for nearly 
50 years. A very popular bean and our 
customers familiar with this variety will 
rejoice to see it listed again. Remarkably 
hardy and prolific with very few super- 
iors either as a green or dry bean. The 
small white seeds are also fine for baking. 
Green pods without fiber, meaty and 
fine flavored. 
need stringing. Outstanding for canning. 
In the older stages they ' 
*LONGREEN—Al11-America winner for 
1946. More vigorous grower and with 
pods one inch longer than Tendergreen. 
Heavier producer than Tendergreen and 
equal in quality. This fine variety super- 
ceedes the New Long Pod Tendergreen ~ 
which we have discontinued. We believe 
this will command great favor from both 
home and market gardeners. It is of 
highest quality and really stringless, 
when either young or old. Pkt. 10c; 4% Ib. 
30c; lb. 50c. Postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 Ibs. 
@ 42c lb. 
*DROUGHT RESISTANT RELIABLE

Gill’s Reliable in other respects.
