POLE BEANS 
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 81. 
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 haye told us the same thing. 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 ap- 
pearance 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 Homestead.’’) An old stand-by variety 
of pole beans. The pods are long, round, light green, stringless when young and of high qual- 
ity. The vines are vigorous and produce heavy crops, maturing among the earliest of the 
pole varieties. 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 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 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.
