POLE BEANS Re 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 Ib. will plant 100 hills. 
Pole beans generally 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 TRAINETTS on page 82. 
75 SCOTIA. Tender and Delicious. [ntroduced 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 
thisistrain to all-growers of green pole beans. a me

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.

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. Brown Seed.

73 SCARLET RUNNER. Grown principally 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.

HORTICULTURAL OR SHELL BEANS 
44 KING HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. The Best Tall 
Growing Type. A heayy 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 without 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.

28 FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. The Best Bush 
Shell Bean. A favorite in New England and 
many other sections. 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 
and is also recommended for freezing. 
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 in 
length of pod and fine color to any of the jealously guarded ‘‘private’’ stocks.
