Henderson’s Golden Scimitar Bean. 
The Perfection of Gulinder-Podded Dwarf Wax Beans. 
HIS new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean, the latest 
applicant for popular favor, has attained the 
top notch of perfection among beans of this 
class. Ithas been so highly bred and selected that 
it excels all others in its combination of essential 
qualities, among which we mention remarkable 
uniformity in size and ‘shape. It produces no 
culls, the pods average five to six inches in 
length, which is unusually large for a round- 
podded, waxvariety; they are very solid, meaty 
and tender, free from string, breaking brittle, 
and the flavor is unsurpassed. These desir- 
able table qualities are retained well on to- 
wards maturity or long after many other sorts 
have become too tough and stringy to use. 
The plant is everything desirable, a bushy, 
robust grower, with splendid protecting foli- 
age, free from rust or mildew, and it is ex- 
tremely prolific. It is also very hardy, en- 
abling itto be grown for both early, midsum- 
mer and late autumn use. (See cut.) Price, 
20c. % pint, 35c. pint, 60c. quart.

Henderson’s Market Wax Bush Bean. 
A Mammoth Flat Wax-Podded Kidney Bush Bean. 
HIS grand acquisition we think will entirely displace other flat-podded 
wax beans. The plants are unusually robust, with luxuriant, healthy 
foliage, resisting disease and unfavorable weather, and whether sown 
early, midseason or late, invariably produce in greatest abundance 
the largest and handsomest waxy, golden-yellow pods we have ever 
seen. They are of immense size, nearly six inches in length, and 
of great breadth, entirely free from green tips. The quality, un- 
like some varieties of similar type, is fully equal to that of the 
smaller podded dwarf wax beans, and the pods, though flat, 
are thick, meaty, very tender, entirely stringless even whenap- 
proaching maturity, and of mild, fine flavor. It is very early 
for so large a sort, rendering it of especial value as a market 
bean. This new bean is notonly desirable as an edible wax- 
podded snap bean, but is also valuable as a shell bean, 
the delicious flavor equaling that of sorts grown exclu- 
sively for this purpose. Price, 15c. % pint, 25c.

Improved Golden Wax Bush Bean. 
The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety. 
Among the Yellow Wax-Podded or ‘‘Butter”’ 
Beans, the Golden Wax has long been in 
popular favor, but this Improved variety 
> by far surpasses the old favorite in 
several desirable points. The plants 
are of vigorous, bushy growth, not 
susceptible to rust, moderately 
early and very prolific. The 
pods are exceedingly hand-

tender and brittle, absolutely without string or coarse fibre at a he color is of a rich golden- 
yellow. Although not the earliest dwarf wax bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop of large handsome pods, whether 
sown in spring, summer or early fall, renders it highly valuable for both home and market planting. (See cut.) Price, 10c.
