ENDERSON'S NEW 

 POLE LIMA BEAN, 



IDEAL. 



(shown in color on the opposite page.) 



There have been several special types and selections of the favorite 

 old large White Lima put on the market, most of which have been 

 improvements in one way or another. Our Leviathan, offered on page 

 14, is a notable example, among its excelling points being that of earliness. 

 Henderson's Ideal Lima is not extra early, but it matures a tremendous 

 crop before frost in the vicinity of New York. The merits of this variety 

 are: enormous size of pod and bean, productiveness and quality. It 

 produces the largest Limas we have seen in our experience of over 

 fifty years, five to seven of these big, fat buttery beans are borne in pods 

 averaging two-thirds of a foot long; these pods are produced in large 

 clusters, those at the bottom of the plant maturing early in the season, 

 followed in succession by the upper clusters, those at the top of the pole 

 coming in before frost. The plant is of rugged constitution, which 

 carries it through wet spells without injury. The superb quality, 

 tenderness and rich flavor, combined with gigantic size of bean and 

 productiveness, render Henderson's IDEAL the peer of any Lima grown 

 Refuse either green or cured. Price, 20c. A pt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $4.00 pk. 



HENDERSON'S New Early "Sugar-Sweet" Corn, HIAWATHA. 



¥ (shown in color on 

 Earliness, productiveness and, above all, delicious quality 

 and flavor are the pronounced merits of our new Hiawatha 

 "Sugar-Sweet" Corn. We are sure it will delight all lovers 

 of this toothsome vegetable. 



The ears are not extra large, only about eight inches long, 

 just a nice size when corn is eaten from the cob, but the 

 ears are thick, being compactly filled with 12 to 14 and 

 occasionally 16 rows of medium-sized, long, plump, pearly- 

 white kernels, so lusciously tender, creamy and sweet as to 

 literally "melt in your mouth." Another valuable feature is

the length of time the ears remain "in the milk," the thick 

 husk giving splendid protection. The plant grows about five 

 feet high, bearing no less than two ears to a stalk and frequently 

 three ears, all very uniform in shape and size. It is a very 

 early variety, being ready to use in from nine to ten weeks from 

 sowing, or only two or three days later than the very earliest 

 variety grown, but Hiawatha is far superior in size and quality. 

 A perfect corn for the home table.

HENDERSON'S New Me aty Tomato, "TENDERLOIN." 



(SHOWN IN COLOR ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE.) 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato " Tenderloin " has 



superlative merit; it is a sturdy, healthy grower with distinc- 

 tive bronzy-green foliage; it ripens its first fruits immediately 

 following those of the early sorts, and from that time until 

 frost, it is practically ever-bearing, yielding enormous quan- 

 tities of Tomatoes, no other variety approaching it in produc- 

 tiveness and particularly so late in the season. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato " Tenderloin " bears 

 fruit in clusters of from four to six ; the individual fruit, 4 to 5 

 inches in diameter, runs remarkably uniform in size and shape, 

 being deep and solid, weighing about one pound each, 

 or heavier than any other Tomato grown of equal size; the 

 surface is very smooth, and never cracks ; the color, a rich 

 glossy blood-crimson, also permeates the flesh to the very heart; 

 it ripens thoroughly, coloring up clear to the stem- 

 Henderson's New Meaty Tomato "Tenderloin " possesses 

 one crowning merit : the phenomenal solidity of the flesh ; even 

 the seeds — which are small and few — are embedded in flesh of 

 meaty firmness, in marked contrast to the cavities of watery 

 pulp so usual in most other varieties. 



Price, per pKt., 2Qc, 3 pKts. for 5Qc.

Henderson's New Meaty Tomato "Tenderloin," on ac- 

 count of its ' ' solid-as-beefsteak ' ' character, combined with the 

 splendid quality, gratifying flavor, granulated texture, rich 

 red color of the flesh, and its appetizing appearance, is abso- 

 lutely peerless for slicing, salads and table use generally, while 

 it is equally superior for baking, boiling and domestic canning — 

 the solidity of flesh and minimum of juice makes thickening 

 unnecessary. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato "Tenderloin," as a 

 market variety, we predict will become very popular; its general 

 merit and handsome appearance can not but attract buyers, 

 and it is so solid that it "holds up" well when shipped, even 

 though it does not have the thick, tough skin heretofore con- 

 sidered the most important requisite in a shipping Tomato. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato "Tenderloin" when 

 picked quite green will ripen up thoroughly. This will be of 

 advantage late in the season when frosts are expected, for ripe 

 and luscious "Tenderloin" Tomatoes may be enjoyed up to 

 Thanksgiving and even later.
