King Horticultural —Harris’ Special Large Seeded Strain 
There is really no comparison between this and ordinary strains of King Horticultural. All 
who saw our seed crops this year were greatly surprised with the enormous yield of uniform large 
heavily colored pods. The seed is exceptionally large. 
This variety is superior to French Horticultural both for yield and disease resistance. The 
pods are only an inch shorter than French Horticultural, straight, very attractive, heavily splashed 
with bright scarlet at the shell stage and entirely stringless. 
When grown on good, well drained soil, they can be grown just as well without supports. 
The pods grow just as long and straight and they can be picked as easily as the dwarf kinds. 
See price below.
