*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. Post- 
paid. Pkt. 10c; 2 lb. 35e; Ib. 65c. 
*SUPERGREEN — All-America bronze 
winner. Pods 7 inches long, slim, smooth, 
dark green and stringless in all stages. 
Vine is 17 inches upright with fairly con- 
centrated pod set. Compared to Tender- 
green the pods are slightly longer and 
more slender. This bean is ideal for 
home use, canning or freezing. 
TOPCROP (New) — All-America gold 
medal winner 1950. Pods medium light 
green, round, straight to slightly curved, 
51% to 6 inches long, fairly smooth, string- 
less, with no fiber. Vigorous plants pro- 
ducing heavy crops maturing in about 
00 days. Immune to bean mosaic. Rec-

for canning, freezing and shipping. Post- 
paid. Pkt. 15c; % Ib. 35c; Ib. 65c. 
*IMPROVED BURPEE’S STRINGLESS 
GREEN POD—One of the best early bush 
beans. The pods are green, of good length, 
entirely stringless, tender and brittle and 
remain so until nearly ripe. This brown- 
seeded bean is both early and hardy and 
one of the richest flavored beans of all. 
A popular market or garden bean and 
desirable for canning or freezing. 
*STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE 
—Very hardy; extremely early, with- 
standing cold, damp weather better than 
most sorts. Pods dark green, long, 
straight, stringless, and nearly round.

*GILL’S DELICIOUS GIANT — Every 
year this variety increases in popularity. 
In this cross between Oregon Giant and 
Kentucky Wonder, we originated a va- 
riety 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. Ideal for the table or for can- 
ning or freezing, so do not fail to order 
this. They are very meaty, mild and 
stringless with pods often 10 inches long. 
Our sales now exceed the popular Oregon 
Giant for home gardens. Crop very 
short. Pkt. 15¢e; % Ib. 45e. 
*BLUE VICTOR—A very popular bean. 
The pods are Jarge, long and somewhat 
flat in shape. The meat is thick, of finest 
quality, and stringless. The pods are red- 
dish purple but when cooked the color 
changes to light green. One of the finest 
high quality beans. You will like this. 
Crop very short. Pkts. only @ 15c. 
*QOREGON 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. 
*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 case it is very high in quality. 
Large, flat pods of medium length. 
Green, stringless pods of attractive ap- 
pearance. A vigorous pole bean produc- 
ing heavy yields. ns
