POLE BEANS 
(26) McCASLAN POLE BEAN. We intro- 
duced this bean as the best pole bean in existence. 
It still is. It’s the heaviest bearing bean of all 
and if kept closely picked will bear until frost. 
The large pods fill perfectly and in ‘‘snap’’ stage 
are deep green, meaty, stringless and of delicious 
flavor. When allowed to ripen, the dry shell 
beans of pure white color are excellent for winter 
use. It’s the best pole bean for your garden and 
you will never regret planting it. McCaslan is 
unbeatable. See picture to left and on front 
cover. Packet, 15c; y 2 lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 2 
lbs., 90c.

Caslan and the standard pole bean all over the

well-filled, meaty, almost stringless pods 6 to 12 
inches long. Often a peck of snap beans are 
picked from a single vine. You cannot go wrong
