King Horticultural —Harris’ Special Large Seeded Strain 
We are very proud of this special strain which we have bred from a single plant selected on 
our farm some years ago. The writer, like everyone else who saw our field this year, was greatly 
impressed by the earliness and enormous yield of pods. The pods are long for this variety 
(only an inch shorter than French Horticultural) straight, very attractive, heavily splashed 
with bright scarlet at the shell stage and entirely stringless. The seed is exceptionally large. These 
large attractive pods are sure to command highest prices on any market where the Horticul¬ 
tural type bean is wanted. We have a limited supply of seed to offer this year. See price below. 
Note—Although this is classed as a pole bean; when grown on good, well drained, sandy soil, 
it can be grown without supports. The pods grow just as long and straight and they can be picked 
as easily as the dwarf kinds. 
Scotia Beans 
This is one of the earliest pole beans and has long been a home garden and roadside market 
favorite because of the superior quality. It has been shown lately that if these beans are well 
grown on poles or trellises and picked at the right time (while the pods are bright green) they are in 
great demand as soon as people try them, and always command top prices. 
We know of one grower this last summer who sold his entire crop in New York at a substantial 
increase over the prevailing prices and at a time when green beans were very plentiful. 
The pods are long, round, slender, green in color and the vines wonderfully prolific. See price below.

BROCCOLI 
Italian Green Sprouting ( Calabrese ) 
Our stock is the true Italian Calabrese type which pro¬ 
duces the best broccoli we have ever seen. It is important 
to get seed which will produce large compact central heads 
and good solid side shoots after the center head is cut. 
You can depend on the Harris strain to do this. 
Oz. 50c; 34 lb- $1.50; 1 lb. $5.00. 
, BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Rosenkohl ( Ger .) Cavolo di Brussels (It.) 
1 oz. of seed will produce about 3000 plants. 
Long Island Improved Special Strain 
This is an outstanding strain of Long Island Improved Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 
Brussels Sprouts. The plants are not tall but the stems are 
completely covered with large and very firm sprouts. The high 
percentage of large sprouts and the high yield make this a 
most profitable strain to use. 
Oz. 50c; 14 lb. $1.35; 1 lb. $4.50. 
Use a non-poisonous insecticide to con¬ 
trol cabbage worms on Broccoli and 
Brussels Sprouts. We recommend 
Sulrote. See page 48.
