Henderson's NEW EARLY GIANT BUSH LIMA BEAN 



PLANTS TRUE BUSH 



No Poles, No Stakes 



Henderson's Half-Long Beet 



Those who desire extremely dark color, should surely plant Hender- 

 son's Half-long. Both flesh and leaves are intensely dark cimson in 

 color. It is a late variety, and particularly valuable to store for winter 

 use. It is of great value for slicing or for pickling, in which condition 

 the color is most striking. The flavor is rich and sweet, and the flesh 

 is tender at all stages of growth. This variety is rather slow growing 

 and therefore the last sowing in this vicinity should not be later than 

 the first week in July. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. li lb., $2.50 lb. 



To retain the full flavor of Beets they should be boiled whole without breaking 

 the skin. The varieties which we show on colored plate opposite are so well 

 bred, that both tops and roots may be removed without cutting into the bulb, 

 thus effectually preserving both form and flavor. 



ENORMOUS BEANS TENDER, RICH and BUTTERY 



Equalling Those of Pole Limas The True Lima Taste 



With great confidence we urge our customers to grow Henderson 's New Early Giant Bush Lima Bean. 

 ■ It is the acme of perfection in a type of vegetable which we ourselves introduced many years 

 ago. It is the best possible Bush Lima Bean, possessing every quality so long known 

 and esteemed in the older pole varieties, and can be grown as easily as any Snap 

 Bean. It produces pods of enormous size, which are well filled with large, thick, 

 fleshy beans of perfect quality just as good in flavor, just as tender, and just as 

 numerous as any of the climbing varieties. 

 The pods are long, very broad, and thick enough to keep the beans tender for a 

 long period, they are produced in enormous quantities all through the growing 

 season. 

 It is the earliest of the large bush sorts, and may therefore be had on the 

 table weeks ahead of the old pole varieties. The strong, rugged plant pro- 

 duces so freely and continuously that a small planting will ensure an abun- 

 dant supply of the most delicious beans right up to frost. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 2 pkts. for 25c, 40c. pt., 75c. qt., $2.75 for 4 qts., $5.00 

 peck.

Improved "Henderson" 



BUSH LIMA BEAN 



YIELDS CONTINUOUSLY FROM EARLY SUMMER TO FROST 

 ^ — SUITARLE FOR ALL SECTIONS, NORTH AND SOUTH 



The original Bush Lima Bean, the "Henderson," was defec- 

 tive in size, and though, because of its extreme earliness, thousands 

 of our customers were enabled to grow Lima Beans where none had 

 grown before, the defect remained until the introduction of the Improved 

 "Henderson," which is at least 50 per cent, larger than the original. Though a 

 day or two_ later, it is still 10 days earlier than other bush forms, and 

 weeks earlier than any of the pole varieties, yet retaining all the 

 remarkable qualities of its predecessor, which was, without doubt, 

 the most remarkable vegetable novelty of the last century. 



The Improved "Henderson" is a perfect all-around variety, it 

 grows as freely and is just as dependable in the North as in the South; 

 in fact, it is the only one suitable for all sections. The quality is 

 excellent, possessing the rich buttery flavor common to all Limas. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for 4 qts., 

 $3.00 peck. 



"For your satisfaction let me say that I planted Henderson's Improved Bush 

 Lima Beans alongside of seeds received from other firms, and.il beats them both 

 for earliness and productiveness."
