fjenderson^s FUL l|/ MEASURE. 



= A New, Round, Qreen-Podded Bush Bean. ' 



We have had this splendid bean under observation for three 

 years but until this season have not had sufficient seed to enable us 

 to catalogue it. 



Full Measure has been developed from a cross between a wax 

 and a green-podded variety and combines the excellent qualities of 

 both. It is early, healthy, a vigorous grower, and an exceptionally 

 heavy yielder of long, round, meaty, green pods, which are succulent 

 and tender, absolutely without string or tough skin. We predict 

 that Henderson's Full Measure Bean will become exceedingly popular 

 and win its place as a standard variety both with private and market 

 gardeners. (See cut.) Price, 15c. \ pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $3.00 pk. 



fjE NDERSON'S 

 ^ BOUNTIFUL 



FLAT GREEN POD 



...BUSH BEAN... 



A PROLIFIC AND CONTINUOUS BEARER. THE FIRST 

 IN SPR1NG-THE LAST IN FALL. ABSOLUTELY STRING- 

 LESS— VERY TENDER AND OF DELICIOUS FLAVOR. 



THIS superior variety, introduced into cultivation by 

 us, is a distinct improvement in green bush beans, 

 and has become exceedingly popular wherever 

 known. Our customers who have grown it are enthusiastic 

 in its praise; some of them say, "you do not praise it 

 half enough." 



The plant is of remarkably handsome and thrifty 

 growth, being practically rust and mildew proof. It is 

 very hardy, extremely early, very prolific and bears con- 

 tinuously for several weeks; it is the first to give pods fit 

 to pick in the spring, and the last to yield edible pods in 

 the fall; in fact, frost usually finds midsummer-sown 

 plants still in pod and blossom. 



But the crowning merit of this grand Bush Bean is 

 in the rich green pods, which are of immense size, thick, 

 broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty, 

 and of high quality, meltingly tender and having a deli-' 

 cious flavor exclusively their own; moreover, the pods are 

 absolutely stringless and entirely free from any tough, 

 membraneous lining, not only when young but this tender 

 "snap brittle" quality is retained even into maturity. 



In addition to the many merits of Henderson's 

 Bountiful as a "snap" bean, one lady draws our attention 

 to the fact that she "finds it is most excellent shelled 

 after it is ripe for winter use." 



This variety, while unrivalled in its class for the 



home garden, is also coming into great demand among 



the truckers, who find that its handsome appearance and 



. luscious quality "hold their customers." (See cud.)

WHAT THE USERS OF BOUNTIFUL BEAN THINK OF IT. 



"/ never saw such fine Beans as Henderson's Bountiful. I had the 

 first and the last of the season from the same row and ■plenty to use all 

 summer. The quality is excellent. The vigor of the -plant and the beauty 

 of the beans are subjects of comment among my neighbors." 



G. A. GAMENTHALER, Barnesville, Ohio. 



" Your Bountiful has given the best satisfaction of any bean ever 

 grown by me. Planted 7 days lata' than Valentine it produced first; the 

 plants are very healthy, the crop heamj and the quality fine. A very few 

 hills will supply an ordinary family through the season." 



J. E. VAIL, Garden Grove, Iowa. 

 "I am not going to have a garden this season, but I must have a few 

 rows of your Bountiful Beans; they are the best beans I ever saw." 



Mrs. LOUIS DAVIS, E. Nashville, Tenn. 



" I had a few Bountiful Beans from you in the spring. It is, indeed, 

 a wonderful bean, so prolific and of such fine quality." 



O. F. NEW HALL, Market Gardener, Peabody, Mass. 



"Your NEW BUSH BEAN BOUNTIFUL is, in my opinion, 

 far ahead of all others, both in earliness and yield. I picked 52 large pods 

 off one plant, and the small ones on same were too numerous to count. 

 It is the only bean I ever saw that was stringless." 



G. A. SMITH, Gayville, S. D. 

 " Your Bountiful Bush Beans beat anything down here for fine, healthy 

 foliage and mammoth yield, quality grand." 



IF. M. THOMAS, Selma, Ala. 

 ,l Last year we tried your Bountiful Bush Beans, and aside from 

 the fine yield and beautiful foliage, we find them of splendid quality." 

 H. E. WARE, Armstrong Mill Road, Lexington, Ky. 

 " The Bountiful Bush Beans were bearing and in blossom when frost 

 killed the vines. They are all you claim." 



JOHN HA RING, Mt. Ivy, N. Y.
