43 KENTUCKY WONDER OR OLD HOMESTEAD 
Most popular of all green-podded pole beans for home or market. Early and profuse bearer (65 days) 
Ever since the introduction of this variety in 1877, it has been a favorite among the gardeners of this and 
many other countries. Its adaptability to varying soil and climatic conditions has, no doubt, been largely 
responsible for this remarkable popularity. The variety can also meet every other requirement for a high 
quality bean, and it fully merits the position which it has created for itself. The plants are sturdy in their 
growth and very productive. The pods, which are borne in clusters, are from 7 to 8 in. in length, nearly 
round, fleshy and tender. When young, they are entirely free from string or fiber, although small strings 
develop later in the season. These strings do not impair the quality of the pods, and they can be eaten until 
late in the season. The light brown seeds have a fine and distinctive flavor which makes them suitable for 
use as shell beans.
