POLE BEANS 
CHAMPAGNE—Named after Ernest Champagne of Farmington, New 
Hampshire, who first called it to our attention. This white seeded 
heirloom variety grows twenty or more feet high and produces clus- 
ters of high quality long podded snap beans. Because of its vigorous 
growth it keeps on setting new beans and often vou can pick both 
green shell and snap beans at the same time. While resembling Ken- 
tucky Wonder we think it is superior in quality, productiveness, size 
of plant, resistance to disease, and all around use. Eight to ten hills 
will produce enough: beans for the average family. Sorry, seed is so 
scarce that we can sell it onlv in packets. Pkt. 25 cts. 
TOWLE—Another excellent heirloom pole bean-shell bean from Hillls- 
borough, New Hampshire. Its pods are 8 to 9 inches lone, straight and 
lightly splashed with red. The beans look like large Vermont Cran- 
berries, red in color both when rine and in the best shell bean stage. 
We recommend this bean for home gardens and the roadside market 
especially when sold as shelled beans in pint boxes. Pkt. 25 cts. 
KENTUCKY WONDER—New England’s favorite green snap pole 
bean. Prolific and of high quality. Pkt. 15 cts.; % Ib. 35 cts.: 1 lb. 65 
ets.; 2 Ibs. $1.20; 5 lbs. $2.40.
