POLE BEANS 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 Ib. will plant 100 hills. 
Pole beans 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 have 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 
is so much superior, in fact, that we no longer offer any other strain, although there are 
many available. It has great vigor and the pods have a distinctive flavor and excellent 
quality especially if picked young. 
The vines are strong and healthy and enormously productive. The pods are exception- 
ally long and straight, with very thick delicious meat, and they are excellent for freez- 
ing. They hold their quality longer and do not become lumpy as soon as most strains. 
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.

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 Grow- 
ing 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 color- 
ing 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 rec- 
ommend 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. 
Our special strain originated from a single plant, selected for yield, color and long 
pods and it is now recognized as the best commercial stock grown. Particular growers 
tell us it is fully equal to any of the jealously guarded “‘private”’ stocks. 
Note: Although this is a bush bean, it will normally produce short runners and 
under some conditions these grow quite long.
