HORTICULTURAL OR SHELL BEANS 
28 FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Harris’ Special Strain. Best Bush Type. 
68 days. This famous shell bean of our own growing is so much in demand that we 
often have difficulty producing enough seed. The pods are 6 to 8 in. long, nearly straight 
and are heavily splashed with bright red coloring on a yellow background, giving a 
very striking appearance. The large beans are used in the green stage or dried and are 
recommended for freezing. 
Our special strain is recognized as the best on the market and is the result of many 
years of careful breeding and selection here on our farms. It is a bush type, vigorous 
and highiy prolific. Note: This strain normally produces short runners and occasion- 
ally these grow quite long in the early stages.

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 almost 
as easily as the dwarf kinds.

LIMA BEANS 
A pound will plant about 150 feet of row, our large packets 30 feet. 
Lima beans bear best on fairly heavy soils that are not too rich. Plant 
about 1 inch deep, in rows 3 ft. apart and thin to stand 8 to 12 in. 
apart. Giving the plants plenty of room results in better yields.

35 IDEAL POLE LIMA. Best Mammoth-Podded Lima. 
88 days. Pole Lima Beans are of better quality than the bush kinds and 
they are ideal for home gardens as they yield more in small space. 
Plant them to grow up poles 7 or more feet long, using 5 or 6 seeds 
around each pole and later thinning to three of the strongest plants. 
A pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Ideal is so superior that we do not sell any other kind of pole lima. 
The pods are very large, up to 7 inches long, containing 5 or 6 large 
flat beans of the very finest quality. The vines are very vigorous 
and prolific and a few hills will give plenty of these delicious tender 
beans right up until frost. 
Harris’ treated seed will give you better stands than ever before.
