POLE BEANS 
Vitamins B G 
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; between them run a wire 
4 to 5 ft. above the ground and another just above the 
row. Stout string run up and down between the wires 
will act as a support for the beans. If rows are long, 
additional posts may be required. ; 
Many find that Early Leviathan Limas, blossoming 
over a longer period, yield much better than the bush 
limas. 
Kentucky Wonder is probably the best known of any 
pole snap bean but we like Scotia better. It produces a 
smoother, straighter pod and holds in edible condition 
longer.

Under some conditions it-seems to be practically impossible to 
produce a crop of large bush limas. If you have had this trouble 
we suggest Baby Potato. It takes a lot of shelling but they do yield. 
DRY BEANS FOR BAKING 
Vitamins B G 
Our ancestors knew how to beat the high cost of liv- 
ing. They substituted beans for meat. Méichelite is a 
new pea or navy bean bred for disease resistance, yield 
and baking quality. 
The Red Kidney may be baked like Michelite or 
boiled and combined with meat in Spanish dishes. 
Some prefer to shell the Red Kidney before it is ripe 
/ and can the beans for winter use. 
50 CERTIFIED MICHELITE (Michi-leet) : 90 days. 
150 seeds per oz. Pkt. will plant 50 ft. row. Plants 
small with short runners; three to four days earlier

“Used your seeds for the first time last season and they were 
far superior to any I had used previously. Baby Potato Lima 
gave me the highest yield of any lima I have ever planted—same 
holds true for Cubit cucumber, Prizehead lettuce, Yankee Hybrid 
squash. Ontario potatoes more than double my ordinary yield. 
I grew my first decent carrots with Tendersweet.”’
