*GILL’S DELICIOUS GIANT—Every 
year this variety increases in popularity. 
In this cross between Oregon Giant and 
Kentucky Wonder, we’ have originated 
a variety twice as productive as Oregon 
Giant, of better 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 of foli- 
age. The pods are green, faintly striped 
with red lines which disappear when 
cooked. If you like green beans fresh 
for the table or for canning, do not fail to 
iorder these. They are very meaty, mild 
and stringless with pods often 10 inches 
long. Our sales now exceed the popular 
Oregon Giant for home gardens. 
*BLUE VICTOR—We can again offer 
this very popular bean. The pods are 
large, long and somewhat flat in shape. 
The meat is thick, of finest quality, and 
stringless. The pods are reddish purple 
but when cooked the color changes to 
light green. One of the finest high qual- 
ity beans. You will like its mild flavor. 
*OREGON GIANT—Giant pods a foot 
long; light green striped carmine. This 
wonderful bean is now sold by market 
gardeners at high prices. The quality is 
good even in the largest beans. Its giant 
size does not detract from its splendid 
quality. Pods thick meated, mild and free 
from fibre but the fully developed pods 
can be strung like the Kentucky Wonder. 
Pods often a foot long and with large 
seeds developed are still good to use. 
*BLUE LAKE STRINGLESS — White 
seeded like the original Blue Lake, dis- 
2ontinued in favor of this better type. The 
pods differ from Blue Lake, being string- 
less at all stages, fully round, somewhat 
longer and of darker green color. White 
seeds, oval and small. Blue Lake beans 
are today rated as one of the finest com- 
mercial canned and frozen beans and this 
stringless type far excels the old strain. 
“BRILLIANT HORTICULTURAL 
(Cranberry)—This special stock has a 
much brighter stripe than the old strains. 
This type of shell bean is becoming more 
popular each year. Two weeks earlier 
than the old strains. Pods green, streaked 
with red, changing lighter at shell stage 
with bright red stripes. Excellent used 
as a green snap bean or for shell or 
dry beans. 
ITALIAN or ROMAN—Crop failed. 
*WHITE SEEDED KENTUCKY WON- 
DER — Many gardeners prefer this to 
Kentucky Wonder. Earlier, more pro- 
ductive; stringless and good quality. 
*KENTUCKY WONDER — A standard 
variety often called Asparagus Bean. It 
produces exceptional yields of long, 
green pods of fine quality. We carry a 
true strain from careful selection. 
*KENTUCKY WONDER WAX — Vig- 
orous and productive. Pods waxy yellow, 
large, stringless and of excellent quality. 
Best yellow pole bean. 
STRINGLESS BLUE LAKE, BLACK 
SEEDED—The pods are stringless; about 
7 inches long, straight and round. Hardy 
and vigorous and a heavy producer of the 
finest quality beans. For home gardens it 
is ideal and produces heavier crops than 
the White Seeded Stringless. Ideal for 
market gardeners. 
YARD LONG—Vigorous vine 6’ tall 
with rank, dark green foliage. Very 
slender pods, 18” to 26” long. Small seed 
of reddish brown. The pods are so long 
they are often sold in bunches. Pkt. 10c; 
VY Ib. 35e; Ib. 65c.

FORDHOOK No. 242 — Developed by 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. Plants 
tall as regular Fordhook but with greater 
spreading habit. Pods slightly curved 
with thinner walls than Fordhook, con- 
taining 3 to 4 light green beans of same 
excellent quality. Yields well under 
conditions of high temperature. Dry 
beans, greenish cream and light green.

*HENDERSON’S BUSH (Baby. Lima) 
—Early and heavily productive. Thrives 
in ordinary soil. Adapted for home use, 
canning and freezing. Early, small lima 
of high quality. Pkt. 10c; 1% Ib. 30c; Ib. 50c. 
Postpaid. 
IMPROVED BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA 
—Large seeded; very productive. One of 
the best large types. 
CONCENTRATED FORDHOOK LIMA 
—Potato Lima type. Plants large and 
very productive. The seeds are very 
large and flat and are ideal as butter 
limas or for use when ripe. 
Many varieties of beans are short this 
year and we suggest early orders. Because 
of increased costs we have made slight in- 
creases in bean prices; however, some vege- 
table prices have been reduced.
