GILL’S RELIABLE — A pioneer bean 
found under various names throughout 
the Pacific Northwest. This strain has 
been grown in our family for over 60 
years. A very popular bean with our cus- 
tomers. Remarkably hardy and prolific 
with very few superiors 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. Out- 
standing for canning and freezing. 
*SUPERGREEN — New. All America 
bronze winner. Pods 7 inches long, slim, 
smooth, dark green and stringless in all 
stages. Vine is 17 inches upright with 
fairly concentrated pod set. Compared 
to Tendergreen the pods are slightly 
longer and more slender. This bean 1s 
ideal for home use, canning or freezing. 
*LONGREEN—A more vigorous grow- 
er and with pods one inch longer than 
Tendergreen. Heavier producer than 
Tendergreen and equal in quality. This 
fine variety supersedes all of the Ten- 

dergreen types. It is commanding great 
favor from both home and market gar- 
deners. It is of highest quality and really 
Stringless, when either young or old. 
TENDERGREEN—See Longreen.
