Harlequin attractive pods than the well known London Horticultural or 
Speckled Cranberry, also hardier and a more reliable cropper. The large 
ovate beans are of the highest quality either green shelled or dry. The vines 
are vigorous with large light colored leaves. The pods are very long, six to 
seven inches, striped or splashed a deeper and more brilliant red than London

POLE LIMAS 
Of all the pole beans, limas are considered to have the greatest economic 
value. The culture is the same as for other pole beans except that being more 
tender, the seed is usually planted one to two weeks later. In firm soils it 
will be found of advantage to place the beans on edge with the eye down as 
when planted in this manner they germinate and come up more readily.
