HENDERSON’S EARLIEST RED VALENTINE. This variety is at least 10 days earlier 
than the Early Red Valentine, and is usually ready to pick in 35 days from time of planting. 
On account of its great earliness it is largely grown by market gardeners, but except in the 
characteristic of extreme earliness, it differs in no other way from the Early Red Valentine 
described below. By a competitive test made by one of the highest authorities on the subject 
in this country, Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine was proven to be 10 days earlier than any 
other stock. Sold only in sealed packages. (See cut.) 10c. 44 pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck, 
$6.00 bush. 
ROUND EARLY SIX WEEKS. A decided acquisition, being an improved form of the old 
favorite Long Yellow Six Weeks. It is slightly shorter in the pod but round, and is almost 
destitute of string at all stages of growth. We can recommend it, either as a string or 
shelled bean. 10c. 4 pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush.

EARLY WARWICK. This is a variety that came under our 
notice three years ago, and which has proven itself to be one of 
enormously prolific, and from its earliness is almost certain to 
produce a crop, no matter how unfavorable the season. The 
Extra Early Refugee is rapidly becoming the favorite sort with 
Southern truckers and planters as it matures equally early with 
the Red Valentine, and has that beautiful silvery green color in 
the pods that is so much desired. In quality it is unexcelled, 
being free from string, and meltingly tender at all stages of its 
growth. Our stock of this variety has been specially selected 
and improved, and we recommend it. 10c. 1g pt., 20c. pt., 30c. 
qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bush. 
EARLY MOHAWE. Very early and will stand more cold than 
most of the bush varieties. This variety is largely grown in 
the Southern States for Northern markets. The pods are from 
five to six inches long; the seeds, when ripe, drab with purple 
spots. 10c. 14 pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 
EMPEROR WILLIAM. This is not only the largest podded of all 
the bush varieties, but it is also the earliest. It produces a great 
profusion of large, flat pods, and is worthy of a place in all 
private and market gardens, for in addition to these good points, 
it can also be used as a dry white shell bean, 10c. 36 pt., 15c. 
pt., 25¢. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.25 bush. 
Our Prices this Season are lower than ever. 
HENDERSON'S NEW BUSH LIMA. 
DREER’S AND BURPEE'S BUSH LIMAS. 
the earliest, if not the earliest Green Bush Bean that we have. 
The pods may be said to be stringless until they reach a stage 
at which they are past maturity for marketiag. As this Bean 
is so remarkably early and likewise suitable for shipping long 
distances, we believe it will be found to bea valuable acquisition, 
especially to the Southern trucker, to whom it is of the utmost 
importance that he get something that will come in ahead of 
existing sorts. 
It is a heavy cropper, producing an abundance of pods which 
average about 515 inches inlength. 15c. 14 pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., 
$2.25 peck, $7.00 bush.
