POLE BEANS—Continued 
“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 a foot long and with large seeds 
developed are still good to use. 
“BLUE LAKE STRINGLESS — White 
seeded like the original Blue Lake, dis- 
continued 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 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 snep bean or for shell or dry beans. 
“ITALIAN OR ROMAN—An old favor- 
ite with Italian people. It can be used as 
a green snap bean or as a shell bean. In 
either cese it is very high in quality. 
Large, flat pods of medium length. Green, 
stringless pods of attractive appearance. 
A vigorous pole bean producing heavy 
yields. Crop short. Pkt. 15¢e; % Ib. 35c. 
“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—tThe 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. 15e; 
1% ib. 35c¢; Ib. 65c. 
Northwest grown seeds are indicated in this 
catalog with a star (*). Quality, not price, is

sidering quality,.our prices are reasonable.

CHRISTMAS LIMA (See cut) — This 
unusual new pole lima excels for quality 
and production. When cooked in either 
dry or green shell stage the seed turns 
to a pink-brown color and the stripe dis- 
appears. In the shell stage they are sweet 
as though they had been sugared lightly. 
In either dry or shell stage the skin is 
thin and tender. We have tested many 
lima varieties but none equals this for 
high quality and production, so we be- 
lieve it is the best for our Pacific North- 
west states where cool summer nights 
usually prevail during the growing sea- 
son. The seeds are very flat but quite 
large and every seed is white, striped 
with deep crimson as shown in the illus- 
tration. Vigorous vines 7 to 9 feet tall, 
foliage rather thin and of medium size. 
Pods 5 to 5% inches long and about one 
inch wide, usually carrying 3 beans to the 
pod. We urge our home garden customers 
to try this grand lima. Commercial gar- 
deners who contact their customers at 
roadside stands or public markets should 
introduce it to their trade.
