Best POLE or CLIMBING BEANS 
The Best Pole Bean in Existence. A White Seeded 
Green Pod Snap or Shell Bean. 
Although only of recent introduction, the Mc- 
Caslan Bean is already very popular and in many 
localities has displaced the older pole varieties. It 
is earlier and more productive than Kentucky Won¬ 
der and Golden Cluster and is fully equal to them 
in quality. 
It is the earliest Pole Bean in cultivation. The 
illustration on this page is taken from a photograph 
of a single matured plant and shows its immense 
prolificness. The pods are of dark green color, 10 
to 11 Inches long, and fill perfectly, containing ten 
and more seeds. They are fine for use as snap 
sorts, being entirely stringless, meaty and of the 
finest flavor and quality. When allowed to ma¬ 
ture the shelled beans are of pure white color, good 
sized and most excellent for Winter use. The vines 
begin to bear pods quite early and continue to pro¬ 
duce enormous quantities until frost. 
This is the one Pole Bean for every garden north 
and south; it stays with you all season, furnish¬ 
ing delicious Beans in Summer and Fall when this 
vegetable is always scarce. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 
18c; lb. 33c; 2 lb. 60c. Postpaid.
