most any conditions.

slightly curved and most attractive and they hold up well for market.

stringless.

YELLOW-PODDED BUSH BEANS 
55 PENCIL POD BLACK 
The Best Round Wax Bean. 
55 days. A favorite of ours for many years, 
Pencil Pod is still the best wax bean to grow. 
The vines are vigorous and bear profusely over a 
long period. The pods are of the finest type, 
long round and nearly straight with a beautiful 
clear rich yellow color. Meaty, tender and sweet, 
it has a distinctive flavor and quality, much ap- 
preciated by all those who enjoy good wax beans. 
Its wide adaptability and attractive appearance 
make it ideal for home gardens, market, canning 
and freezing.

WAX. 
61 PUREGOLD. Bears a Long Time. 62 days. A 
high quality bean, popular with home gardeners 
because it bears practically all summer from one 
planting. It is rather late but vigorous, and the 
dark green vines produce beautiful golden-yellow 
pods, round, thick-meated, and tender. Excellent 
for canning and freezing. 
Pkt. 20c; % Lb. 50c; Lb. 85c; 2 Lbs. $1.60; 
5 Lbs. $3.15; 15 Lbs. $7.25. 
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 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.

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; 144 Lb. 40c; Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 5 Lbs. $2.80; 15 Lbs. $6.75. 
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; 144 Lb. 40c; Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 5 Lbs. $2.80; 15 Lbs. $6.95. 
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; 144 Lb. 50c; Lb. 85c; 2 Lbs. $1.60.

21 CHEROKEE WAX. The Best Oval. 
52 days. This outstanding all-purpose variety is 
by far the leading market wax because of its de- 
pendable productiveness and fine color. The 
handsome straight pods grow 5 to 6 in. long, oval 
shaped, meaty, and of very good quality. Turns 
clear bright yellow before the picking stage and 
holds its smooth clean look for days afterwards. 
The vines are vigorous and yield enormous crops 
under almost any conditions. 
Pkt. 15c; 44 Lb. 40c; Lb. 70c; 2 Lbs. $1.35; 
5 Lbs. $2.65; 15 Lbs. $6.50. 
43 KINGHORN WAX (New). Replaces Round Pod 
Kidney Wax or Brittle Wax. 56 days. A highly 
productive and dependable variety that gardeners 
want because of its excellent quality. Closely 
similar to Brittle Wax, it is white seeded, and has 
long round pods of a creamy golden color and 
extra fine flavor. Recommended for canning or 
freezing. 
Pkt. 15c; 4 Lb. 45c; Lb. 80c; 2 Lbs. $1.50; 
5 Lbs. $2.80; 15 Lbs. $6.95. 
Harris’ Special Kentucky Wonder 
FAVA BEANS or BROAD BEANS 
96 BROAD IMPROVED LONG POD. 85 days. 
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 very 
early in the spring; they will not do well in hot 
weather. Plant about 8 in. apart in 2% to 3 ft. 
rows. A packet sows 15 ft., a pound 75 ft. Con- 
trol aphids with Black Leaf 40 or Malathion (p.82). 
Pkt. 15c; 4 Lb. 45c; Lb. 80c; 2 Lbs. $1.50; 
5 Lbs. $2.95; 15 Lbs. $7.25.
