• This very desirable horticultural variety is earlier and has 
nanequin much longer and more attractive pods than the well known 
London Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry, also it is considered of better 
flavor. The beans of Harlequin are of large size, ovate in shape and 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 Horticultural: dry 
beans a trifle longer. We consider this the most attractive and finest bean of 
the Horticultural class. Pkt. 20c; Lb. 75c; 2 Lb*.$ 1 .40 postpaid; 1 00 Lbs. $50.00

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.
