*GILL’S DELICIOUS GIANT — Every year 
this variety increases in popularity. In this cross 
between Oregon ‘Giant and Kentucky Wonder, 
we originated a variety twice as productive as 
Oregon Giant, of better quality. The beans are 
produced in clusters of 4 to 6, the stems of 
which protrude outside of foliage. The pods are 
green, faintly striped with red lines which dis- 
appear when cooked. Ideal for the table or for 
canning or freezing. They are very meaty, mild 
and stringless with pods often 10 inches long.

high quality beans. You will like this. Seed crop 
very short. Pkt. 20c; 3 Pkts. for 50c; 7 Pkts. $1.00. 
*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 qual- 
ity. 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, discontinued in favor 
of this better type. The pods differ from Blue 
Lake, being stringless at all stages, fully round, 
somewhat longer and of darker green color. White

rated as the finest canned and frozen beans and

Ib. 80c. Postpaid. Write for quantity prices.

pearance. A vigorous pole bean producing heavy
