Plant Plenty of Pole Beans { 
Singrle Matured Plant of New McCaslau Pole Beau 
Beans of all kinds, either green or dry, are one of the most nutritious and 
valuable human foods. With the great scarcity of bush snap beans you will 
find it well worth your while to plant more largely than ever before of the 
pole and cornfield beans found on this and the following page. 
McCaslan Pole Bean (No. 26) 
This superb pole bean 
of Georgia origin, in- 
troduced by us in 1912, 
has been acknowledged 
by every seed trade ex- 
pert who has seen it as 
the best pole bean 
in existence, the one 
pole bean, as one of 
them said that “beats 
Kentucky Wonder.” 
If you once plant it 
you will fully agree 
with Mr. J. H. Sheflield 
of Wingate, Miss., who 
wrote us : “McCaslan 
bean surpasses any- 
thing in the bean line 
I ever saw.” 
The illustration is a 
matured vine showing 
its immense prolific- 
ness. The large size 
pods fill perfectly and 
in the “snap” stage are 
deep green in color, 
meaty, stringless and 
of delicious flavor. 
Vines continue to bear 
throughout the season 
if kept closely picked. 
When allowed to ripen 
the shell beans of pure 
white color are most 
excellent for winter 
use. The McCaslan is 
a pole snap bean that 
no Southern home gar- 
den can afford to be 
without. It’s the one 
pole bean for any 
Southern garden and 
you will never regret 
planting it. Packet, 15 
cents ; Vz pint, 25 cents ; 
pint (15 ozs.), 45 cents; 
quart (30 ozs), 75 cents; 
postpaid. 
Texas Prolific, Old Homestead, Kentucky Wonder 
/Ma I I5\ This superb pole snap bean is known under all three of these names. It 
ynwi ivy ][g a most profitable pole, green, snap bean for you to plant any time 
from April to August. Bears in sixty to seventy days from planting, and if closely 
mcked will continue until frost. Pods are round, green and grow 6 to 12 inches long. 
Well rounded out, meaty, tender and practically stringless. Immensely prolific, a 
peck having often been picked from a single vine, our illustration giving a splendid 
idea of its productiveness. If you have grown it before you need not be told its value. 
If you have never grown it, plant, at least, a few of them this year, for you will cer- 
tainly be pleased. Here in the South with our long growing seasons, pole beans like 
this are very profitable. The genuine variety of this will pay you well, but look out 
for the seed of the short, tough, shucky. Southern Prolific that has been so often sold 
under these names in recent years. In appearance of the seed it is almost identical, 
but the Southern Prolific is not worth planting if you want good quality in your 
beans. Packet, 10 cents; Va pint, 20 cents; pint (15 ozs.), 35 cents; quart (30 ozs.), 60 
cents; postpaid. Not prepaid, peck (15 lbs.), $3.00; bushel (60 lbs.), $12.00. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax (No. 5) 
equal in every respect to that famous variety. Pods are long, very thick, meaty, 
deeply saddle-backed, entirely stringless and of bright yellow color. For those who 
prefer a wax pole bean this is the right variety to plant. Packet, 10 cents; Vz pint,
