HENDERSON'S 



EARLY LEVIATHAN 

 POLE LIMA BEAN. 



One week earlier than any other Pole 

 Lima, and two weeks earlier than 

 most! Of superior quality. Immense 

 size. Wonderfully productive . . . 



Th.2 best variet}" of Pole Lima for general 

 use. This delicious vegetable is denied 

 many would-be growers on account of the 

 length of season required to mature it, 

 the early frost coming on just as the crop 

 is ready to pick. This sort is at least one 

 week earlier than an}' large Pole Lima yet 

 offered and fully two weeks earlier than 

 most, consequently it will prove a boon to 

 thousands of growers. Earliness is often 

 obtained at the sacrifice of other valuable 

 features, but in this variety we claim su- 

 periority, not only in this respect, but in 

 size of bean and pod and enormous pro- 

 ductiveness It is in fact about perfect 

 and of incalculable value (See cut.) 

 Price, 15c. \ pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk., 

 $8.50 bush. 



''Your Leviathan is par excellence in earliness, size, 

 flavor and productiveness ; far ahead of any pole lima 

 I have ever seen." C. H . JONES. Galveston,' Texas.

WONDER 



Green Podded Snap 



... POLE BEAN ... 



A marvel of Productiveness from July 

 until frost. Large, thick, stringless 

 pods, meaty, tender and delicious. 



This best and most popular green-podded 

 snap pole bean is a marvel of continued 

 productiveness and ten days earlier than 

 any other green pole bean. First pickings 

 may be made in this latitude early in 

 July, and if the pods are gathered as they 

 become ready for "snaps, "' the vine will 

 continue to produce in great abundance 

 until killed by frost. 



The pods hang in great clusters from the 

 top to the bottom of the vine and can be 

 gathered by the handfuls ; the pods are 

 very large, 8 to 10 inches in length, entirely 

 stringless, plump, round and almost "solid 

 meat," cooking meltingly tender and of 

 superb flavor. 



We have supplied Old Homestead Beans 

 to customers in almost every State in the 

 Union, and those who report on theminvari- 

 ably do so in most flattering terms. (See 

 cut'.) Price, 15c. | pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 

 $2.25 pk., $7.50 bush. 



'The Old Homestead just simply beats anything 

 in the way of pole beans 1 ever saw, both for productive- 

 ness and quality — many of the pads being a foot in 

 length and as tender and delicately flavored as it is 

 possible for a bean to be. I had the first on the Sth of 

 June, which was ahead of any one else in this section.' 

 THOMAS P. JOXES Griffin. Ga. 



• 7 have been using your seeds for years and am 

 hwhly pleased with them < specially your Old Home- 

 stead Beans. I picked my first oi these July 16th, 

 and from that time on until frost the vines hung so full 

 that one could pull off great handfuls at a time. All 

 lilio sair them say then bint anything thai ever saw." 



JOS M.SCOTT New Alexandria. Ohio. 



7 vould like to say a word of praise about your 

 Old Homestead Bean. I ordered only a small quan- 

 tity of them just from curiosity and I can assure you 

 that our curiosity was satisfied. Such beans! — they 

 came into bearing just after our first planting of string 

 benns hod passed and ue used Old Homestead from 

 those few h>'lls from that time until frost killed the 

 vines. Their quality, as well as quantity, was all that 

 could be desired." Mrs. E. S. ROOT, 



39 King Street, ]Vestfield. Mass.
