Pele Beans 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 1b. will plant 100 hills. 
Although not always necessary most of these varieties do best if given some support for the vines. Rough poles 
7 or more feet long answer very well. These are sunk well into the ground and 5 or 6 beans planted around each pole, 
thinning later to 3 of the strongest plants. Pole beans may also be grown on a fence or trellis and the seed sown in a 
row, thinning the plants to about 8 inches apart. 
40 KENTUCKY WONDER. HARRIS’ sPE- 

75 SCOTIA. Tender and Delicious. Introduced 
‘CIAL STRAIN. 
White Seeded. This is by far the best strain of Ken- 
tucky Wonder beans. It was developed here on our 
own farm and has proved to have greater vigor, yield 
and better quality than any strain we have ever seen. 
The vines are strong and healthy and enormously 
productive. The pods are exceptionally long and 
straight, with very thick delicious meat, and they hold 
their quality longer and do not become lumpy as soon 
as Kentucky Wonder. 
In addition they have white seed. This is an ad- 
vantage as it not only improves the appearance of the 
pods when cooked or canned, but the dry beans are 
excellent for baking. 
We highly recommend this strain to all growers of 
green pole beans.

38 KENTUCKY WONDER. (Also called ‘‘Old Home- 
stead’’.) We have a fine true stock of this old favorite. 
The pods are long, round, light green, stringless when 
young and of very high quality. The vines are vigorous 
and produce heavy crops. These beans mature very 
early, being among the earliest of the pole varieties. This 
is also a profitable market bean in many sections.

For pole lima beans, see IDEAL LIMA on page 
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 
over 50 years and we have yet to taste a bean that is 
more delicious. Hundreds of our customers have told 
us the same thing. If you haven't tried them do so; 
you have a real treat coming. The pods when cooked 
have a rich melting butter flavor that is possessed by 
no other kind. 
Scotia commences to bear only five or six days after 
Kentucky Wonder and if kept picked will bear through 
August and September when the earlier bush beans are 
gone. A few hills will produce enough for a family. 
Plant enough to can—Scotia beans are far more rich 
and tender than any other canned beans we have eaten.

39 Kentucky Wonder Wax. A yellow Kentucky Won- 
der. This is the best pole bean with wax or yellow pods 
we know. It is early, very prolific, and the pods are long, 
bright yellow, stringless when young, and of fine quality.

mental vine. The flowers are bright scarlet and pro- 
duced in attractive clusters. The pods somewhat re- 
semble the limas in shape and the beans can be used

roasted in much the same manner as nuts. 
Sow in rows 3 feet apart, dropping about 6 seeds per foot of row. The plants do not require support. 
12 BANSEI. This variety ripens early and is one of the best for northern sections. The seed is small and 
round and of yellow color. The plants grow about two feet high.

HA aorticultural on Shell Beans 
28 FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. 
The Finest Dwarf or 
Bush Type. A great favorite in New England and all sections where 
horticultural beans are grown. The pods are 6 to 8 inches long, straight 
and heavily splashed with bright red which gives them a very striking 
and attractive appearance. They grow in great profusion on the strong 
sturdy vines. This is a shell bean used either green or dried. 
For many years we have grown and selected this strain ourselves, 
and there is no doubt that this is the best commercial stock obtainable. 
Particular growers tell us it is equal to any of the jealously guarded 
“private stocks.”

71 RUBY DWARF HORTICULTURAL. (Also called Roman Beans). 
Pods are of good length (4-41% in.), light green, heavily splashed with 
bright red, entirely stringless and of fine quality. Often used both as a 
snap and shell bean.

44 KING HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. The 
Best Tall Growing Type. A 
heavy yielding large seeded pole variety that we can very highly 
recommend both for home gardens and commercial growers. 
Our stock has been bred from a single early large seeded 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. The vines are vigorous and healthy. 
Although a pole bean, King Horticultural can be grown successfully 
on light land without support. ‘

Edible Soy Beans 
A pound of seed will sow about 150 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. 
The edible soy bean has become increasingly popular in this country, because of its high vitamin content and 
also because it is very high in protein and fat. They are the easiest bean to grow and yield enormous crops. The 
beans may be eaten in the green stage when cooked and served similar to lima beans, and also are well liked dry and

This is the bean with the “melting 
butter” flavor. 
Gield Beans

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.

high. I came down here from Vermont and always used your seeds up there 
and I have never had a failure yet.” H. S. Cutler, Chesterfield, N. H.
