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 you 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 still so 
scarce that we can sell it only in packets. Pkt. 25 cts. 
WINFIELD—A true pole lima, early and productive. This is the only 
pole lima bean that we have been able to mature consistently. Seed 
is still scarce. Sold only in packets. Pkt. 25 ets.
