SCOTIA 
Tender and Delicious. Introduced by 
Joseph Harris in 1892. “You don’t know 
beans” until you have tried this old time favorite. We 
have raised Scotia beans here in our own farm for nearly 
50 years and we have yet to taste a bean that is more 
delicious. Hundreds of our customers have told us this 
same thing. If you haven’t tried them do so; you have 
a real treat coming. The pods when cooked have a 
KING HORTICULTURAL. "«*’ 
Strain. A heavy 
rich melting butter flavor that is possessed by no other 
kind. 
This is one of the earliest of the pole beans and com¬ 
mences to bear only five or six days after Kentucky 
Wonder. A few hills will produce enough for a family 
and if kept picked will bear through August and Sep¬ 
tember when the earlier bush beans are gone. 
Plant enough to can—Scotia beans are far more rich 
and tender than any other canned beans we have eaten. 
Pkt. 10c; y Lb-25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; iy Lbs. $2.15 
transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.15; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $10.80. 
KENTUCKY WONDER. (White Seeded.) Special 
Stock. Heavy Yielder. This is the heaviest yielding 
stock of Kentucky Wonder we have ever seen. Bred on 
our own farm from a single high producing plant it has 
outyielded and outgrown three similar stocks nearly 
two to one. 
This is a real addition to the list of fine pole beans. 
The pods are exceptionally long and straight, of an 
attractive green color and are round and meaty like 
Kentucky Wonder. In addition they have white seed. 
This is an advantage as it not only improves the appear¬ 
ance of the pods when cooked or canned, but the dry 
beans can be used for baking if desired.

transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.15; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $10.80. 
KENTUCKY WONDER. (Also called “Old Homestead.”) We have a fine 
true stock of this old favorite. The pods are very long, round, light green, 
stringless when young and of extremely high quality. The vines are enormous¬ 
ly productive, the pods often hanging in great clusters. These beans mature 
very early, being among the earliest of the pole varieties. This is also a profitable 
market bean in many sections.

Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. White Seeds. Has immense pods seven inches long and y inch wide, golden 
yellow in color. They are thick, tender, brittle, stringless and of good quality. This is a very prolific bean, 
maturing in mid-season and does well under adverse conditions when many pole beans do not succeed. 
Pkt. 10c; y Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7 y Lbs. $2.30 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.45; 60 Lbs.

“We like your seeds and will use no other. We have bought seeds from the Harris Co. for 15 years and longer.” 
Carl D. Miller, Skowhegan, Me. May 16, 1939. 
yielding large seeded variety that we can very highly 
recommend both for home gardens and commercial 
growers who want a high class horticultural bean. The 
vines are vigorous and healthy and we particularly 
recommend this variety in places where French Horti¬ 
cultural does not do well. 
Our stock has been bred from a single early outstand¬ 
ing plant which we selected several years ago, so that 
it produces uniformly long, straight pods with the much 
wanted large seed. The pods are 6 inches long, heavily 
splashed with bright red, entirely stringless and of fine 
quality. 
Although a pole bean. King Horticultural can be 
grown successfully on light land without support.

(Bu.) $12.00. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax. A yellow Kentucky Wonder. 
This is the best pole bean with wax or yellow pods we 
know. It is early, very prolific, and the pods are long, 
brightyellow, stringless when young, and of fine quality.

Scarlet Runner. Grown principally as an ornamental 
vine. The flowers are 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 being of good quality.

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. 
Prices subject to market changes and stocks being unsold. Lowest prices quoted on larger lots. 
WHITE KIDNEY. Large, white, kidney-shaped beans of extremely fine quality for baking. The vines are 
vigorous and productive. A week or 10 days later than common pea beans.

BOSTON MARROW or WHITE MARROWFAT. (Perry Strain.) Large plump white beans of high quality, 
very productive on good soil. An exceptionally fine stock, the beans being uniformly large.

RED KIDNEY. Large, red, kidney-shaped beans. Yields heavily on strong land. This is considered one of the 
most profitable field beans to raise. Our.stock is of a very fine strain. It is hardy, rust resistant and very pro¬ 
lific with long, straight well filled pods.

ROBUST PEA BEAN. An improved mosaic resistant strain of Marrow Pea beans. We find that the yield from 
Robust is nearly twice as large as from common Marrow pea beans. In other respects the beans are the same. 
The beans are small, round, pure white. 
Pkt, 10c; y Lb. 20c; Lb. 30c; 2 Lbs. 50c; 7 y Lbs. $1.35 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $1.60; 60 Lbs.
