POLE BEANS—Continued 
SCOTIA BEANS— Tender and Delicious 
Scotia Beans 
If you want the very best, most tender and delicious “string beans,” raise the Scotia. Many of our customers who 
have raised Scotia beans for years know how delicious they are, but those who have not tried them have a treat coming. 
The pods of the Scotia when cooked have a rich, melting buttery flavor possessed by no other beans. 
It is one of the earliest of the pole beans and commences to bear as soon as the early bush beans are gone. A few hills 
will produce enough for a family and if kept picked will bear through August and September when the earlier bush beans 
are gone. Plant enough to can—Scotia beans are delicious; far more rich and tender than any other canned beans we 
have ever eaten.

Kentucky Wonder. (Also called “Old Homestead.’’) 
Very long, round, light green pods, stringless and of ex¬ 
tremely high quality. The vines are enormously pro¬ 
ductive, the pods hanging in great clusters. These beans 
mature quite early, and are among the earliest of the pole 
varieties. A very popular bean for the home garden as 
well as for market.

Scarlet Runner. Grown principally as an ornamental 
vine. The flowers are large, bright scarlet and produced 
in attractive clusters. The pods somewhat resemble the 
limas in shape and can be used when very young. The 
beans in the green shell stage are of good quality. 
Pkt. 10c; x /i Lb. 25c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 80c. 
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. 
Field Beans quoted on this page are subject to market 
changes and to our stocks being unsold. Lowest prices 
quoted on large lots at any time. Please write. 
If your order including beans amounts to $20.00 or more 
we will pay transportation on beans listed “not paid.” 
IMPERIAL or Prolific Tree Bean. We consider the Im¬ 
perial makes the best baked beans of any kind we have 
tried. They are kidney-shaped much like White Kidney 
but slightly smaller. 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.

RED KIDNEY. 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. It is hardy, rust resistant and very pro¬ 
lific having long straight pods which fill shell.

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 Bobust is nearly twice as large as 
from common Marrow pea beans. In other respects the 
beans are the same. The beans are small, t round, pure 
white.

Rosenkohl (Ger.) BRUSSELS SPROUTS Cavalo di Brussels (It.) 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants, a packet 300 plants. 
This delicious vegetable has become very popular in this country. It should be more largely 
grown in home gardens, as it affords fresh green sprouts in the late fall and winter when other vege¬ 
tables are gone. It is easy to grow, being cultivated like cabbage. The sprouts that grow along the 
stem are picked off and cooked like cabbage or cauliflower and are of very delicate flavor. The 
sprouts are of better quality after having been frozen, so the plants may be left in the open 
ground until December in the north and all winter south of New Jersey. 
Plants. We can furnish Brussels Sprouts plants at proper time for transplanting. See under 
“Vegetable Plants,” page 47. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF, Special Stock. Our special stock is superior to most 
strains sold. This is the surest producing stock which we know and yields more than three times 
as many large solid sprouts than any other strain or variety we have grown. The plants of the 
Long Island strain do not grow very tall but they are covered from the ground up with large solid 
sprouts.

From an Appreciative Customer:— 
“Enclosed please find a couple of snapshots taken of cauliflower I raised from seed purchased of 
you. They were of the straight “Snowball” strain and were most satisfactory both as to quality of 
the crop, but also for fertility of the seed, as I realized about 50,000 plants per pound of seed, and 
I am prompted to do this because of my sincere appreciation of the. fine quality of the seeds pur¬ 
chased of you in 1933 and '39. Sorry I did not connect up with your firm sooner.” James W. 
Turner, Egypt, Mass. Dec. 11, 1939. See Cauliflower on page 22.
