Pole Beans 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 lb. 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. For a handy trellis, see TRAIN-ETTS on page 82. 
75 SCOTIA, Tender and Delicious. Introduced 
40 KENTUCKY WONDER. HARRIS” SPE- 

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 advan- 
tage 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 havea 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.

Pole Lima Beans 
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 
Wonder. 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. Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 25c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 85c; 744 
Lbs. $2.85; 15 Lbs. $5.40. 
73 SCARLET RUNNER. Grown principally as an orna- 
mental vine. The flowers are bright scarlet and produced 
in attractive clusters. The pods somewhat resemble the 
limas in shape and the beans can be used for eating 
when in the green shell stage. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 30c; Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00. 



Pole Lima Beans are of better quality than the bush kinds and are ideal for home gardens as they yield more in small 
space. They require some support for the vines and many people find that rough poles 7 or more feet long answer very 
well. These are sunk 11% to 2 feet in the ground and are spaced 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Plant 5 or 6 seeds around 
each pole and later thin to three of the strongest plants. A pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
35 IDEAL. THE BEST MAMMOTH PODDED POLE BEAN. This variety is so superior that we do not sell 
—_——____- any other kind of pole lima. The pods are immense, often 7 inches long containing usually 6 large flat 
beans of the very finest quality. On our own farm we always plant an extra lot of these for our own use. The vines 
are very vigorous, and prolific, and the beans are ready only about one week later than the bush limas. With pole 
limas it is possible to grow an abundance of fine limas in a comparatively small space, so that you get plenty of 
these delicious tender beans right up until frost.

Aaorticultaral or Shell Beans 
28 FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. This is not our Special Strain (on 
which we had a crop failure this year) but is a good commercial stock 
which should be entirely satisfactory for home use. The pods are broad 
and flat, of good length and are splashed with bright carmine red at 
the green shell stage. They are very much liked both green and dried.

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 highly recommend. 
Our stock has been bred from a single early large seeded plant which 
we selected many 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 
12 BANSEI. Early and very productive variety. Plants about 2 feet

and so rich in vitamins and protein.
