HENDERSON'S 



FULL [MEASURE. 



A New, Round, Green=Podded Bush Bean. : 



The efforts of modern hybridizers in improving the quality of 

 garden beans, have resulted, in many cases, in entirely eliminating the 

 objectionable string. We have done more than our share of this work, 

 having been successful in developing many varieties which have taken 

 a permanent place in the esteem of careful growers. Full Measure is 

 the result of a cross between our famous Yosemite Mammoth Wax 

 and Refugee or 1000 to 1 and inherits the good qualities of both. It 

 is a thoroughly bred stringless variety of excellent quality. Pods are 

 5 inches long, round.podded, firm, but tender, and remain fit for use 

 many days after maturity. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. 

 qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. 



HENDERSON'S 



BOUNTIFUL 



FLAT GREEN POD 



...BUSH BEAN... 



A PROLIFIC AND CONTINUOUS BEARER. THE FIRST 

 IN SPRING 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 cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00

WHAT THE USERS OF BOUNTIFUL BEAN THINK OF IT. 



"I 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, Barnesmlle, Ohio. 



"I raised some of your Bountiful Beans and had an immense yield of 

 the best beans we ever grew." CEDRIC S. ADAMS, Clinton, N. Y. 



"Henderson's Bountiful Beans are the best I know of. Although 

 we do not have a garden, yet we always grow a few rows of Bountiful — for 

 we can buy no beans like them." 



Mrs. LOUIS DAVIS, East Nashville, Tenn. 



" Your Bountiful Beans are the finest on earth. We think we can 

 not get along without them." S. C. CARPING, Barnesmlle, Ga. 



** Your Bountiful Bush Beans are the best we ever used and so prolific." 

 E. K. NEWCOMBER, Ancora, N. J. 



"I picked beans from July 1st to September 1st from your Bountiful. 

 They are unequalled. So targe, so tender and fit to use from 4 to 6 days 

 earlier than any wax bean I ever had. They are more than you claim 

 for them." Mrs. F. M. OLDHAM, Topeka, Kansas. 



"Your Bountiful Bean has given tis the best satisfaction of any bean 

 ever grown by me. The plants are very healthy, the crop heavy and quality 

 fine. A few hills will supply an ordinary family." 



J. E. VAIL. Garden Grove, Iowa.
