Scotia Beans tor Quality 
GREEN BUSH BEANS 
Continued 
*xASGROW BLACK VALENTINE: 49 days, 81 seeds 
per oz. A green snap bean that has become very 
popular for market in some sections. While it 
should be classified as a flat podded variety, it is so 
thick that both flat and round podded markets will 
take it. Pods 6% to 7 inches long, nearly straight, 
dark green and stringless. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 20 
cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 Ibs. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.10; 15 lbs. 
$2.55; 100 Ibs. $14.25. 
LIMA BEANS 
Plant in mellow soil after danger of frost, 1 inch deep, 
4 inches apart in 3 to 3% foot rows. If possible plant 
after a rain rather than before. 
Limas, especially the large seeded varieties, require a 
lot of moisture to sprout them. In planting, many 
gardeners place each bean with the eye down. In doing 
this they shove the seed into the moist soil. We believe 
a firm contact with moist soil is more important than 
the position of the bean. 
BABY POTATO: 68 days. 
will plant 60 foot row. (All-America winner for 
1939.) A very prolific, small thick-seeded bush 
lima; very similar to “Baby Fordhook"’. A cross 
between Henderson and one of the large potato lima 
varieties. [he seeds are bright green in color when 
fresh and similar to Fordhook in taste. Baby Potato 
will probably be used largely for canning but, on ac- 
count of its great productivity, we believe it may be 
valuable for the home garden. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 
20 cts: 1b. 35) cts; 2 Lbs. 60) ctss; > lbse 91.25) 15 
Ibs. $3.00; 100 Ibs. $18.00. 
HENDERSON BUSH: 68 days, 90 seeds per oz. % lb. 
will sow 100 foot row. For home garden. Each year 
gardeners tell us that under their conditions it seems 
impossible to produce a satisfactory crop of lima 
beans of large seeded varieties. Henderson is a bush 
variety, earlier than the larger sorts and blossoms 
profusely over a much longer season. In spite of un- 
favorable growing conditions usually a good crop is 
set. Pods 3 to 3% inches long containing 3 to 4 small 
beans of excellent quality. If you have had trouble 
with lima beans, we suggest you try this variety.

ductive. Pods 5 to 6 inches long containing 4 to 5

ish tinge when ripe. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 20 cts.;

GREEN POLE BEANS 
¥% lb. will sow 100 ft. in hills 
*SCOTIA: 72 days, 84 seeds per oz. Because of un- 
usual quality we raise this variety for our own use 
and feel that, if it were better known, it would replace 
other snap beans for home use and market trade 
where quality counts. 
A few hills along a fence or with some other support 
will produce enough green beans, if kept picked, for 
the average family. The pod is 6% to 7 inches long, 
green, round and very fleshy. Scotia is ready about 
the time that the bush varieties are gone. Pkt. 10 
cts.; % lb. 20 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 Ibs. 65 cts.; 5 Ibs. 
$1.25; 15 Ibs. $3.00; 100 Ibs. $17.10. 

At our house I notice that company for dinner usually means a can 
of home canned Scotia Beans. They have a different flavor, a 
garden freshness, that invariably brings a compliment to the 
hostess. 2
