DRY BEANS FOR BAKING 
Vitamins B G 
Our ancestors knew how to beat the high 
cost of living. “They substituted beans for 
meat. Michelite and Perry Marrow are ex- 
cellent for baking. Red Kidney may be baked 
or combined with meat in Spanish dishes. 
50 MICHELITE (Michi-leet): 90 days. 
best of the small white navy beans. 
for heavy yields and disease resistance. 
Plants small with short runners; beans 
small, white, smooth and very uniform in 
size and shape. See prices below.

oval beans a trifle smaller than Fordhook 
but of finest quality. Excellent for canning

cause of superior quality. The pods are

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; be- 
tween 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. 
70 EARLY LEVIATHAN LIMA: 79 days. 
Pole limas are very high in quality, only 
slightly later than the bush limas and are 
ideal for home gardens as they yield more 
in a small space. Vines vigorous, strong 
climber, 6-7 ft. Pods 414-5 in. long, 
straight and containing 5 to 6 large, flat 
beans. See prices below. 
71 KENTUCKY WONDER SNAP BEAN: 
65 days. Vines are vigorous, 5 ft.; pods have 
a distinctive flavor and fine quality espe- 
cially if picked young. Pods 7 in. long, 
round, curved — cans and freezes well. See 
prices below. 
72 SCOTIA SNAP BEAN: 72 days. We like 
Scotia better than Kentucky Wonder. It 
produces a smoother, straighter pod and 
holds in edible condition longer. Vines 414 
to 5 ft., very hardy. Pods 6 in. long, round, 
smooth, green, tender and of distinctive 
flavor. See prices below. 
Frank Robson says, ‘‘It looks like a lot of work 
to put up poles or a trellis for Scotia beans and my 
advice is not to do it unless you are willing to do 
it every year; once your family has eaten Scotias 
no other bean will do.”

60 SENECA HORTICULTURAL: 60 days. 
A favorite in New England and many other 
sections, Seneca Horticultural is used as a 
green shell bean to be eaten fresh, canned 
or frozen. Seneca is a new early strain of 
Horticultural or Cranberry bean that pro- 
duces heavy yields of pods 6 to 8 in. long, 
straight and heavily splashed with bright 
red which gives them a striking and attrac- 
tive appearance. Seeds large, pinkish-buff 
mottled with red. See prices opposite.
