HORTICULTURAL OR SHELL BEANS 
44 KING HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. Tall-Growing. 
75 days. A heavy yielding, large seeded pole variety that we can very highly recom- 
mend, both for home gardens and commercial growers who want a high class horti- 
cultural 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 rec- 
ommend this strain in places where French Horticultural does not do well. 
Pkt. 15c; 44 Lb. 40c; Lb. 70c; 2 Lbs. $1.30; 5 Lbs. $2.65; 15 Lbs. $6.75. 
28 FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. Best Bush Type. 
68 days. 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. Recommended for freezing. 
Our special strain originated from a single plant, selected for yield, color and long pods 
and it has long been considered the leader among commercial stocks. Particular growers 
tell us it is fully equal to 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. Pkt. 15c; 44 Lb. 40c; Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.35; 
> Lbs? $2.75: 15 Lbs: $7225. 
POLE BEANS 
A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row 
or 15 hills. 1 Ib. will plant 100 hills. 
French Horticultural 
This bush shell bean has long, brightly colored pods 
Pole beans do best if the vines are supported on poles or a trellis (See TRAINETTS on 
page 81). Use rough poles 7 or more feet long and sink firmly into the ground. Plant five 
or six beans around each and thin to three, or plant in a row along a fence or trellis, thinning 
to about 8 in. apart. 
75 SCOTIA. Tender and Delicious. 
70 days. Ever since Joseph Harris introduced Scotia in 1892, our customers have told us 
they have never tasted a more delicious bean. The pods have a rich melting butter flavor 
unmatched by any other kind. 
Scotia ripens 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. Plant enough to 
can—Scotia beans are far more rich and tender than any other canned beans we have eaten. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 35c; Lh. 65c; 2 Lbs. $1.25; 5 Lbs. $2.65; 15 Lbs. $6.75. 
40 KENTUCKY WONDER. Harris’ Special Strain. White Seeded. 
64 days. This is by far the best strain of Kentucky Wonder, so much superior to all others 
under our conditions that there is no comparison. The tall, vigorous vines are enormously 
productive and the pods are remarkably long, straight and smooth for a bean of this type. 
Thick-meated and delicious, they have a rich distinctive flavor of their own and are 
excellent for freezing. 
In addition, they have white seed, an advantage not only in the appearance of the green 
pods when cooked, but also the dry beans are excellent for baking. Altogether, a most 
excellent pole bean. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 70c; 2 Lbs. $1.30; 5 Lbs. $2.65; 15 Lbs. $6.75. 
73 SCARLET RUNNER. 65 days to flower. 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 ft. tall. Pkt. 20c; 44 Lb. 45c; Lb. 80c; 2 Lbs. $1.50. 
FIELD BEANS 
A pound will plant from 100 to 150 feet of row; depending upon the size 
of the beans. Plant 60 to 75 Ibs. to the acre. 
16 BOSTON MARROW (Perry Strain). 100 days. Large plump white beans of high qual- 
ity, very productive on good soil. An exceptionally fine pure strain developed by Dr. 
Munger of Cornell. Pkt. 10c; % Lb. 35c; Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $2.25; 
15 Lbs. $5.35 postpaid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 27c per Lb. 
FAVA BEANS or BROAD BEANS 
96 BROAD IMPROVED LONG POD. 85 days. 49 MONROE PEA BEANS. (New). 93 days. Earlier, a better yielder and more disease 
Quite distinct from other beans, the upright plants 
bear 7-inch pods, containing 5 or 6 big flat oblong 
beans that are used in the green shell or dry stage. 
Cooked fresh or as a winter shell bean they have 
an unusual flavor. Our strain is medium tall with 
long uniform pods and is a good yielder. 
They are hardy and must be planted as early 
as the ground can be worked; they will not do well 
in hot weather. Plant about 8 in. apart in 244 to 
3 ft. rows. A packet sows 15 ft., a pound 75 ft.
