Machinery is rapidly taking the place of hand labor on our seed farms. 
Scotia Has Exceptional Quality 

Modern power machinery makes it possible to produce a quality 
of seed that otherwise would never be possible today with existing labor conditions. 
BUSH, SHELL OR FIELD BEANS 
Pkt. will sow 20 foot row 
Plant after danger of frost, 1 inch deep, 4 inches apart 
in 28 to 36 inch rows. Better to plant after rain than 
before as a crusted soil may cause loss in yield.

POLE 
A woven wire fence makes an ideal support for pole 
beans, or you can use poles. Another way is to set 
posts at each end of the row and run a wire 4 to 5 ft. 
above the row and another near the ground. Stout 
string run up and down between the wires will act as 
a support for the beans.

“Last Summer was my first attempt at a garden. The corn 
which I ordered from you turned out very well and I want to try 
some more. I also like the pole beans (Scotia).”
