The Most 

 Remarkable 



Price: 



Bush Beans cenLy, the Hodson Long-Pod Wax 



and the 



Hodson Long Green Pod. 



ENORMOUS PLANTS. ENORMOUS PODS. 

 ENORMOUS YIELDERS. 



Never Affected by Rust and Blight. 



These distinct new types of beans are re- 

 markable for great size of plant and pod and 

 wonderful productiveness. They will out- 

 yield any other bush bean two to one on 

 a given area. The strong, sturdy plants 

 often attain dimensions 2 A- feet in height, 

 and bear great quantities of long, meaty 

 pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length. 

 The ample foliage sheltering the pods from 

 the hot sun renders them exceptionally 

 tender, brittle, and if picked before too old 

 they are stringless, free from fibre and of 

 fine table quality. 



These varieties are absolutely immune 

 from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 

 blight or mildew has ever appeared on a 

 plant or pod in our trial grounds or fields 

 during the four years we have been growing 

 them. The Hodson Bush Beans come 

 in about 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf 

 varieties, and for main crops are destined 

 to become important for both the private 

 table and for market growers on account 

 of their phenomenal vigor and productive- 

 ness. The plants should be thinned out to 

 at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 

 account of their great size. (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S 



Golden Scimitar Wax Bush Bean. 



The Perfection of Cylinder^podded Dwarf Wax Beans. 



THIS new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean has attained the 

 top notch among beans of this class. It has been so highly 

 bred and selected that it excels all others in its combina- 

 tion of essential qualities, among which are 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, 

 wax variety; they are very solid, meaty and tender, free from 

 string, breaking brittle, and the flavor is unsurpassed. These de- 

 sirable table qualities are retained well on towards maturity, long 

 after many other sorts have become too tough and stringy to use. 

 The plant is everything desirable, bushy and robust, free from 

 rust or mildew, and extremely prolific. Price, 10c pkt., 20c pt., 

 35c qt., $2.00 pk., $7.06 bush. 



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 exceed- 

 ingly handsome, large, uniformly broad, thick and almost all solid 

 flesh, of good quality, tender and brittle, absolutely without 

 string or coarse fibre at all stages until maturity, while the 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 pkt., 20c pt., 30c qt., $2.C0 pk., $7.00 bush.
