POLE, or RUNNING BEANS 



CULTURE — In common with Pole Limas (see culture direc- 

 tions on page 14), these are rank growers and consequently rank 

 feeders. Do not attempt to grow Pole Beans on poor, thin soil, but 

 enrich the hills well with liberal quantities of well-rotted manure 

 or humus. 



Green Pod Varieties 



Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead. Pronounced by ex- 

 perts the best flavored of all Beans in cultivation. Kentucky 

 Wonder combines size and quality in an extraordinary degree. 

 Pods are generally borne in clusters of 2 or 4, individual pods 

 averaging 7 to 8 inches long. They are deeply saddle backed, 

 very fleshy and perfectly stringless at all stages of development. 

 Kentucky Wonder matures the bulk of its crop in from 80 to 100 

 days. Seeds sown along with the earlier varieties of Bush Beans 

 will yield a crop just about the same time that the Bush Beans 



are through bearing. 

 Where poles are not 

 available, string sup- 

 ports shoidd be pro-

vided since the vines are exceedingly rank growers, bearing exceptionally heavy crops. Pkt., 

 10 cts., postpaid. 41b., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00. 



Lazy Wife's. A late variety, excellent for snap-shorts or shelled. Pods about 6 inches long 

 and are thick, meaty and of fine flavor. The very prolific character of this variety first 

 earned its rather misleading name. One can gather a great mess within a short time. Pkt., 

 10 cts., postpaid. J lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00. 



White Creaseback, or Best of All. Early, productive and fine quality; pods about 5 

 inches long and are produced in clusters. Should be gathered while young. Pkt., 10 cts., 

 postpaid. Jib, 20 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 65 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.75. 



White Dutch Case- Knife. Beans straight and flat, of fair quality. Good shell bean. 

 Pkt., 10 cts., postpaid. | lb., 20 cts.; lb., 30 cts.; 2 lbs., 55 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50. 



Horticultural, or Speckled Cranberry. Grown for shell beans exclusively, for, unless 

 used while quite young, pods show strings. Pods 5 inches long, pale green, but become 

 streaked with red when mature. The beans may be used either green or dry. Pkt., 10 cts. 

 postpaid. Jib., 20 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 65 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.75. 



Scarlet Runner. Largely grown as an ornamental, for its attractive flower clusters. The 

 shelled beans are quite palatable and serve the same purpose as shelled Limas in sections 

 too cold to produce Limas. Pkt., 10 cts, postpaid. ' lb, 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.;

Kentucky Wonder Wax. A yellow-podded "Kentucky Wonder," which bears a large 

 quantity of rich, golden-yellow pods from the time the plant is about half grown until it is 

 killed by frost in the fall. Pkt., 10 cts., postpaid. J lb., 25 cts.; lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 80 cts.; 

 10 lbs., $3.50. 



Dreer's Golden Cluster Wax. Except for the fact that the beans are flat and somewhat 

 shorter, this unique yellow-podded sort compares very favorable with Old Homestead, in 

 both quality and immensity of yield. The majority of the very handsome pods are 6 inches 

 long by J inch broad. They are borne in clusters of 4 to 6 and hang on the plants literally 

 by the handsful, making it very easy to gather a handsome mess within a short time. Those 

 pods that are not gathered while young will ripen a very useful white product of dry shell 

 beans. Ready for use within 70 days from time seeds are sown. Pkt., 10 cts., postpaid. 

 J lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 10 lbs., $3,25.
