64— KENTUCKY WONDER WAX—This is one of the earliest of the wax podded sorts, 
and similar to the green-podded Kentucky Wonder, but the pods are broader. The 
'pods are very long, handsome light yellow, often over 8 inches long, very fleshy, 
brittle but stringy. Seed medium sized, oval, flattened, very irregular, usually some¬ 
what shriveled, dark brown. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c 
65— McCASLAN—An astonishing yielder of large, rich, deep green pods 8 to 10 
inches in length, slightly flattened, stringless, meaty, and of delicious flavor. When 
allowed to ripen, the Shell Beans are pure white. If kept closely picked, vines 
continue to bear until frost. The McCaslan is a Pole Snap Bean that no Southern 
home or farm garden can afford to be without. (See illustration.)

66— STRIPED SCOTIA OR CORNFIELD—A superb long green bean, suc¬ 
ceeding better when planted in cornfield than any other variety. The 
handsome green pods average 8 or 9 beans to the pod, grow very uniform, 
about 6 inches long, thick meated, rich and buttery. It continues in bear¬ 
ing so long it might be called “Everbearing.” Specially adapted to 
growing on corn, thus economizing space on valuable land, or where 
poles are scarce. Seed small-medium, kidney shaped, mottled putty color 
with dark striping. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c 
67— KENTUCKY WONDER POLE BEAN (Also called Old Homestead and 
Texas Prolific)—This superb pole snap bean is known under all three of 
these names. It is a most profitable pole, green, snap bean for you to plant 
any time from April to August. Bears in 60 to 70 days from planting, 
and if closely picked will continue bearing until frost. Pods are green, 
round, well rounded out, meaty, tender, practically stringless and grow 
6 to 12 inches long. Immensely prolific, a peck having often been picked 
from a single vine, our illustration giving a splendid idea of its pro¬ 
ductiveness. 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 certainly be pleased. Kentucky Wonder and McCaslan are the 
greatest beans in existence, and Kentucky Wonder is a great old standby 
and favorite. Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c
