Green Pod Pole or Corn Field Beans 



Old Homestead, or Improved Kentucky Wonder. — This is the earliest of all green- 

 podded pole beans. Enormously productive, bearing its pods in clusters. The pods 

 are long, crisp, tender and bright green in color. One of the best in our list. Qt. 

 25c; pck. $1.25; bush. $4.50. 



Lazy Wife's Pole Bean. — The pods are five to six inches long, broad, thick, very 

 fleshy and entirely stringless, far surpassing all other varieties in this respect, and 

 retaining these important qualities until almost ripe. Pods are exceedingly rich. 

 buttery and fine flavored. The vines cling well to the poles, a very important feature, 

 as, owing to its wonderful productiveness, the weight of a vine filled with such a 

 mass of large pods is very great. They commence bearing in great abundance when 

 the vines are quite young, and continue to bear profusely the entire sea- 

 son. The beans when dry are round, pure white, and also make a fine 

 shell or winter bean. Qt. 25c; peck $1.50; bush. $5.00. 



Horticultural, Cranberry, or Wren's Egg. — This is a popular old variety 

 for either snapshorts or dry shell beans, especially adapted for short 

 seasons and cool locations. The vines are of strong growth and produc- 

 tive; pods four to five inches in length, one-half inch broad, thick and 

 fleshy. As they mature, both the pods and dry beans become thickly J 

 striped with rich carmine markings. Qt. 20c; peck $1.25. 



Red Speckled, Cut Short, or Corn Hill. — An old variety, very popular 

 for planting among corn, and will give a good crop without poles. Vines 

 medium, not twining tightly, pods short, round and tender. Qt. 20c; peck 

 $1.00; bushel $4.00. 



■White Creaseback. — The best early green-podded pole bean for snap- 

 shorts; of rapid growth and very productive. Pods grow in clusters and 

 are from five to six inches in length, perfectly round, being deeply creased 

 or "saddle backed." They are solidly fleshy, entirely stringless and of fine 

 quality. Excellent for winter use. Qt. 25c; peck $1.50; bush. $5.00. 



Plant in rows 2 feet apart 

 and six inches apart in the 

 row, covering one and a-half 

 to two inches deep. The top 

 of the stalk should be nipped 

 off as soon as the plants begin 

 to flower, as this produces 

 earliness. 



Broad Erfurt. — The growth 

 of this Bean is entirely differ- 

 ent from any of the ordinary 

 varieties known. The plant is 

 of robust, upright, self-sup- 

 porting growth, reaching a 

 height of 30 to 40 inches, the 

 pods are thick and well filled 

 with 4 to 6 large beans in the 

 pod, somewhat larger than the 

 ordinary lima. They are more 

 hardy than most varieties of 

 Beans and can be planted earlier and withstand the drought well. Qt. 

 20c; peck $1.25.
