King Horticultural Beans 
Use either as a snap or shell bean. 
POLE BEANS 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 Ib. will plant 100 hills. 
Although it is 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, thin- 
ning the plants to about 8 inches apart. For a handy trellis, see TRAIN- 
ETTS on page 82. 
75 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 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.

40 KENTUCKY WONDER. HARRIS’ SPECIAL STRAIN. 
White Seeded. This is by far 
the best strain of Kentucky 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 are excellent for freezing. They hold their quality 
longer and do not become lumpy as soon as Kentucky Wonder. 
In addition they have white seed. This is an advantage 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.

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. 30c; Lh. 55c; 2 Lbs. 90c; 7144

38 KENTUCKY WONDER. (Also called ‘“‘Old Homestead.’’) 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.

HORTICULTURAL OR SHELL BEANS 
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 who want 
a high class horticultural bean. The pods are 6 inches long, broad, 
entirely stringless and of fine quality. At the green shell stage, the 
bright scarlet coloring on the pods makes them very handsome and 
attractive for market. Our strain has the much-wanted large seed 
and is excellent both as a snap or green shelled bean. 
On good, well-drained land King Horticultural can be grown with- 
out support. When grown this way the pods are just as long and straight 
and they can be picked as easily as the dwarf kinds. The vines are 
vigorous and healthy, and we particularly recommend this strain in 
places where French Horticultural does not do well.

Harris’ Special Strain. 
28 FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Sea Soh em Bidiiestett 
Bean. A favorite in New England. 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. 
Many years ago we selected a single plant because it had the best 
yield, color and longest pods, and this was the origin of our stock. It 
is now widely recognized as the best commercial stock of this variety 
grown, and particular growers tell us it is equal to any of the jealously 
guarded “private” stocks.

73 SCARLET RUNNER. Grown princi- 
pally as an ornamental 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. Vines vigorous and grow over 6 feet tall. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 70c; 2 Lbs. $1.30. 
FIELD BEANS 
A pound will plant from 100 to 150 feet of row, depending upon the size of 
the beans. Plant 60 to 75 Ibs. to the acre.
