McCaslan New Pole 
The Best Pole Bean in existence. A white seeded green pod 
snap or shell bean. Although only of recent introduction, 
the McCaslan Bean is already very popular and in many lo¬ 
calities has displaced the older pole varieties. It is earlier 
and more productive than Kentucky Wonder 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 mature 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 produce enormous 
quantities until frost. 
This is the one Pole Bean for every garden north and south; it stays with you all season, 
furnishing delicious Beans in Summer and Fall when this vegetable is always scarce. Postpaid,
