HENDERSON S EARLY 

 SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



The Best Variety for either Market or Fami y Gardens. 



Whether intended for private use or to be grown formarket, Henderson's Early 

 Snowball Cauliflower is superior to all others. First, because it is the earli- 

 est of all Cauliflowers, as has been conclusively shown season after season, since 

 we first made its merits known ; second, because under the conditions of an ordin- 

 arily favorable searon nearly every plant will form a perfect snow white head, aver- 

 aging nine inches in diameter ; third, for the reason that its close-growing compact 

 habit enables one-third more to be planted on the same space of ground than can be 

 done with any other variety. For forcing under glass during winter and spring, this 

 Early Snowball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf growth and 

 short outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. It 

 also does equally well forlate planting. (See cut.) 25c. pkt ; $4.oooz.: £14. 00 % lb. 



HENDERSONS 



Henderson's New Bush Lima, 



This wonderful innovation created a greater furore last 

 season than any vegetable novelty that has ever been offered. 

 Those who never had a vegetable garden before were induced 

 to plant the Henderson Bush Lima Bean, because it enabled 

 them to have the most delicious of all vegetables without the 

 trouble and expense of the unsightly poles. We received 

 hundreds of most flattering letters from every State telling of 

 its wonderful success. One specimen had 271 pods on it at 

 one time. Henderson's New Bush Lima grows without the 

 aid of stakes or poles in compact bush form, about 18 inches 

 high, and produces enormous crops of delicious Lima Beans 

 which can be as easily gathered as the common garden Bush 

 sorts. Henderson's New Bush, Lima is at least two 

 "weeks earlier than any of the climbing Limas. This 

 fact alone would stamp it as the most valuable novelty of recent 

 years, but when, in addition to this, we consider that it is a 

 true Bush Bean, requiring no supports, some idea of its 

 great value can be realized. 



Henderson's Bush Lima was a grand success last 

 season. It can and should be grown in every garden. We 

 are glad to now be able to offer it in bulk at the following 

 reasonable prices. (See tut.) 



25c. per packet of about 50 beans; 75c. per^ pint; $1.00 

 per pint; $1.50 per quart. 



Yosemite Mammoth Was Bush Bean. 



Second only in value and distinctiveness to the Bush Lima is this wonderful wax variety. It is the forerunner of a 

 race of giants among Beans, and is universally conceded to be THE NOVELTY OF THE SEASON. The cut 

 is a faithful copy of a photographed specimen, greatly reduced but conveys no idea of its great size and handsome waxen 

 appearance. The pods are nearly all solid pulp and absolutely stringless, cooking tender and delicious. 

 The monster pods average 10 to 14 inches in length, are a rich golden color, making a most handsome appearance either 

 on the plant or on the table. The TTosemite combines size, productiveness and quality in one variety and is the nearest 

 approach to perfection that nature has as yet given us in Wax Beans. The plant is a remarkably vigorous one, covering 

 the ground with its heavy foliage in such a manner as to shade the earth and keep it moist ; and if the pods are kept 

 closely picked new ones will continue to be produced, and a marvellously large crop will be obtained. The grower who 

 originated this bean has produced some of the finest varieties now grown, and has had an experience in bean hybridiza- 

 tion second to none. He assures us that of all the beans it has been his privilege to raise, this Yosemite stands head 

 and shoulders above them all, and outstrips them in cropping, marketable and other good qualities. It has been a prize 

 among beans which all the seedsmen have been striving after, and we consider ourselves fortunate in having the honor of 

 its introduction. (See cut.) 



Price, per packet, 15 cts.; half pint 75 cts.; pint, $1.25 ; quart, $2.00. 



CYLINDER BLACK WAX BEAN. (Novelty 1889.) 



This is an improved stock of Black Wax so superior to the ordinary strains as to be worthy of a new name. By a 

 comparative test on our trial grounds, we proved beyond question that it was earlier than any other stock, was perfectly round 

 podded,, a far heavier cropper, and of an even rich golden color. Price, 30c. per pt. ; 50c. per qt. ; $3 per peck ; $10 per bui.h.
