POLE BEANS—Continued 
Kentucky Wonder. (Also called “Old Homestead.") The pods are 
very long, round, light green, entirely stringless and of high quality. The 
vines are enormously productive, the pods hanging in great clusters 
which can be gathered by the handful. These beans mature quite early, 
being among the earliest of the pole varieties. The quality is extremely 
fine but we think not quite equal to Scotia. This is a very popular bean 
for the home garden as well as for market.

KING HORTICULTURAL. (Called also Worcester Pole.) An improved 
Speckled Cranberry bean with larger beans and pods and matures earlier. 
We are pleased to offer a carefully selected strain that runs a high per¬ 
centage of large beans. The pods are 6 inches long, light green splashed 
with bright red, entirely stringless and of fine quality.

Kentucky Wonder Wax. Like the Kentucky Wonder except that the 
pods are yellow instead of green. This is the best pole bean with wax or 
yellow pods we know of. It is early, very prolific, and the pods are long, 
bright yellow, perfectly stringless when young, and of fine quality.

White Dutch Runner. The beans are very large, pure white and much 
resemble Limas. When picked while green they are used in the same way. 
They are much earlier and more productive than Limas, so are often 
grown as a substitute for them.

Field Beans 
A pound will plant from 100 to 150 feet of row, depending upon the size 
of the beans. Plant 60 to 75 lbs. to the acre. 
The following varieties of beans are used for baking, soup, etc. and are 
grown extensively as field crops. These beans should be planted in rows 
28 to 30 inches apart, dropping the seed about 10 to the foot of row. 
RED KIDNEY. California Strain. Large, red, kidney-shaped beans. 
Yields heavily on strong land. Considered one of the most profitable 
beans to raise for market. Our stock is of a very fine strain and was 
grown for us from California grown seed in fields which were practically 
100% disease free. It is hardy, rust resistant and very prolific having 
long straight pods which fill well.

Boston Marrow or White Marrowfat. ( Perry Strain). Large plump 
white beans of high quality, very productive on good soil. An exception¬ 
ally fine stock the beans being uniformly large and very plump.

produces large crops and matures early and is less subject to the diseases 
which often attack other kinds.

IMPERIAL or Prolific Tree Bean. White kidney-shaped beans much 
like White Kidney but slightly smaller. Like that variety the beans are 
of exceptionally fine quality for baking. We consider the Imperial makes 
the best baked beans of any kind we have tried. The vines are of strong, 
upright growth, resistant to disease and produce heavy crops. Hence the 
name “Prolific Tree” Bean. The pods are 4 to 5 inches long and well 
filled. We strongly advise raising these beans for home use, as they are 
of fine quality when baked.

ROBUST PEA BEAN. An improved strain of Marrow Pea beans which 
resists the Mosaic disease that is often very destructive to the ordinary 
types of this variety. We find that the yield from Robust is nearly twice 
as large as from common Marrow pea beans. In other respects the 
beans are the same. The beans are small, round, pure white.

BEETS 
Barbabietole (It.) 
One ounce of seed will sow 60 feet of row, a packet, 15 feet. 
Beets are one of the most satisfactory vege¬ 
tables to grow in the home garden. A few rows 
in the garden will give you fresh beets throughout 
the season. Beets can be sown in the spring, and 
again a few weeks later for a succession. It is an 
excellent plan to sow some in July for use in the 
fall. These young beets can be put in a pit or 
root cellar and covered with sand, and will keep 
tender condition for use in winter. 
Note—We do not supply half ounces of seed, the 
price of which is less than 30c per ounce. 
Ten pounds will sow an acre in rows 18 inches apart.

CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN. Harris' Special Strain. See page 7. This is 
the best beet for early use both for home and market. We are confident 
that ours is the finest bred strain of this variety.

CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN. Bright Red Strain. This strain is of lighter 
and brighter red than our Special Strain and is popular in some markets. 
The beets are of fine uniform shape and mature very early. The quality 
of these beets is very fine making them a most excellent kind for the 
home garden.

A Collection of Vegetables—For the Home Garden—$1.00 
Contains only high grade seeds which will give one an excellent variety 
of vegetables in the home garden. 
“Every time I have looked thru your catalogue I hatvpaused at Collection No. 1. It 
seems to me the best collection\that I have ever seen advertised. It not only has a gen¬ 
erous number of packets, but every variety included is a choice selection. Too often such 
collections have some very desirable items , but include a good percentage of poor vari¬ 
eties and slow sellers. Mrs. Wm. Cole, Williams, Arizona. Dec. II, 1933.
