much heavier yielder. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c;

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 yaluable to use NITRAGIN. Our radio talk on 
beans sent free upon request. All white seeded beans need careful planting for eariy crops as they: do

GILL’S RELIABLE — A pioneer bean 
found under various names throughout 
the Pacific Northwest. This sirain 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. In the older stages they 
need stringing. Outstanding for canning 
and freezing. 
ay aia 
“LONGREEN—AI]l-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- 
sedes 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. 
“DROUGHT RESISTANT RELIABLE 
—FEspecially suited to dry sections where 
blight injures beans. Quite similar to 
Gill’s Reliable in other respects. 
KEYSTONIAN — All-America award 
for /1944..:,The: Jong;* round; <straigni 
stringless, green pods of finest quality, 
make this new bean ideal for canning,
