THE GUINEA BEAN grown by Addie
length of 45 and 3/4 inches before growth
freezing weather.
She Grows A Guinea
Addle Lindsey saw pictured in
a newspaper a bean weighing 18
pounds and measuring four feet
five and a half inches in length.
She simply had to have seed from
it.
She sent a letter to a city in
Pennsylvania addressed to "the
man who grew the big bean". It
was successfully delivered and in
due course of time Mrs. Lindsey
received ten seeds from the huge
bean, a variety from New Guinea.
"I had expected large seed,"
she says, "but I was surprised to
find them much like those from a
gourd."
Planted as early as possible in
the spring, four of the seed grew,.
"I covered them every night,"
Addle Lindsey~explains,~'but the
cold weather made them very
slow. They didn't make much
growth for a full month."
She followed carefully the
directions she had received with
the seed. She watered the plants
twice daily and fed them both
natural and chemical fertilizers.
Lacy, white morning-glory-
type flowers were eventually
replaced by beans that grew -
and grew - and grew. The first to
mature hung low on the lofty
vine, and it was necessary to dig a
hole in the ground to accomodate
its increasing length.
The largest of the Guinea
Beans, still growing, measures
45¾ inches and weighs 12
pounds. The plant is carefully
protected against frost in order to
allow the specimen to gain
maximum size.
Corn and cabbage and
regulation-size beans also grow in
the Lindsey garden and flowers
surround the house. Variegated
ivy brought from California
twines across the front porch, and
hardy fuschias flank the steps.
