 for parcel Post Zone rates see page 2 of the cover.

The Palmetto is much earlier, is a better yielder 

 and is more even and regular in its growth than 

 Conover's Colossal. The Palmetto has now been 

 planted in all parts of the country, and the reports 

 prove that it is equally well adapted for all sections, 

 North and South, although it was originally a 

 variety of southern origin. Its quality is even 

 better than the Colossal. (See engraving.) Price 

 of two-year old roots, $1.00 per 100, $6.00 per 1000 

 (500 at 1000 rates).

 per 1000. (600 at 1000 rates.) (For Asparagus 

 Seed, see page 35.) 



HENDERSON'S 



Earliest Red Valentine Bean. 



America's Standard Green-Podded Dwarf Snap Bean. 



This grand variety is a great improvement over the or- 

 iginal Red Valentine, which it has now entirely supplanted, 

 being fully ten days earlier; often ready to pick in forty- 

 five days from sowing. The healthy, vigorous plants are 

 unusually hardy, withstanding frosts that kill other varie- 

 ties; it may therefore be planted very early. This, with 

 its quick development, makes it the earliest large-podded 

 variety, and on this account it is extensively grown by 

 truckers, over wide sections of the country. 



It produces a large crop of handsome, long, round, fleshy 

 pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness 

 and quality when gathered young, when it is practically 

 stringless. It is the Standard Snap Bean, not only for the 

 earliest but for successive plantings, bearing up to frost. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 35c. qt., $2.40 pk., $9.00 bush. 



"In regard to your Red Valentine Beans I wish to say that they are the 

 best I ever raised. I have bought seeds from seedsmen in 9 different states 

 but none equal Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine Bean." 



R. D. MILLER, Gainspille, Go.
