POLE BEANS—Continued 
*KENTUCKY WONDER — A standard 
variety often called Asparagus Bean. It 
produces exceptional yields of long, 
green pods of fine quality. 
*BRILLIANT WONDER (New, 1951) — 
The White Seeded Brilliant Horticultural. 
Another introduction from Gill Bros. 
Seed Co. farm. This special selection was 
noticed and developed by Edward Gill. 
The ideal bean for use as a butter bean. 
Very mild white seeds, sometimes very 
faintly marked with light tints when 
near maturity. Pkt. 20c; % Ib. 50c. 
“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 snap bean or for shell or dry beans.

STRINGLESS BLUE LAKE, BLACK 
SEEDED—The pods are stringless; about

finest quality beans. For home gardens it 
is ideal and produces heavier crops than 
the White Seeded Stringless. Ideal for 
market gardeners.

CHRISTMAS LIMA (See cut) — This 
unusual 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 disap- 
pears. In the shell stage they are sweet 
as though they had been sugared lightly. 
In either dry or shell stage the skin 1s 
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. ~~ 
KING OF THE GARDEN—A large, flat 
lima of great vigor and heavy production. 
Seed white in dry stage but creamy 
green in shell condition. This variety 
also produces well in the Pacific North- 
west. A splendid sort for canning or 
freezing. Vines 7 to 9 feet, pods 5% to 6 
inches long with 4 to 5 thick, flat seeds. 
OREGON LIMA (White Seeded Run- 
ner)—A large pole lima, extra early and 
suited for Pacific Northwest culture. It 
ripens in about 75 days from planting. 
Excellent used as a shell bean or stored 
dry for winter use. Extra large, plump, 
pure white seed. In the milder climates 
it often lives through the winter and 
produces a crop the second year. Post- 
paid. Pkt. 10c; 1% Ib. 35c; Ib. 60c. 
Broad Windsor 
MAMMOTH LONG PODDEDB — The 
English Broad Beans or sometimes called 
‘Horse Beans.” Near the coast these can 
be planted in the Fall. Generally planted 
very early in the Spring. Green shell 
beans, large, broad, flat and light green.
