THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN 



Delicious Buttery Flavor 



Abundantly Prolific 



Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there are 

 etill many growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as a class 

 later than the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a 

 difficulty in maturing the crop. In Northern States, or where, by 

 reason of continued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan 

 will be found admirably adapted. 



The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any 

 other sort. It is fully a week earlier than any other pole variety, 

 therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be 

 caught by frosts of early autumn. Moreover, it is a prodigious 

 cropper, producing its pods in large clusters from base to top 

 pole, frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well filled 

 with large, fleshy Beans of excellent quality, delicate, pale 

 green in color, and possessing in a superlative degree that^ 

 rich, buttery flavor so highly esteemed by all. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 

 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 



'For a thorough test I -planted Henderson's Leviathan 

 alongside four other well-known varieties from other seedsmen. Leviathan 

 earlier than any of them. Its great value lies in its extreme earliness 

 prodigious yield."

THE BEST MAIN CBOP POLE LIMA GBOWN 



Enormously Prolific — Of Gigantic Size - 



-Tenderness and Flavor Superb 



This is another sterling variety of our 

 own introduction, which attains an 

 enormous size, with a degree of pro- 

 ductiveness which is extremely rare. 

 The pods are amazingly large, and 

 are borne in great clusters. 



There is great satisfaction in pro- 

 ducing such large pods, yet under 

 ordinary conditions, any one can do 

 so, by planting Henderson's Ideal. 



The vine does not differ materi- 

 ally from that of the ordinary pole t 

 varieties. Its chief distinction 

 lies in the size of the pods, 

 which hang in wonderful profusion on the vines. 



Not only are the pods singularly large, but the average 

 yield is greater than in any other variety, which, taken J 

 in conjunction with the great size of the individual | 

 Beans, gives a net crop of really remarkable propor- if 

 tions. , I 



Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it 

 is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties, and con- , ' v 

 tinues to produce enormous crops of the best- fim.^ 

 flavored Beans right up to frost. Price, 15c. pkt., [• '•

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 produc- 

 tiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First pickings 

 may be made in the latitude of New York early in July, and if gathered as they become ready 

 for "snaps," the vine will continue to produce in abundance until frost. 



The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be gathered 

 by the handful ; they are very large, 6 to 8 inches in length, entirely stringless, plump, round 

 and almost solid meat, meltingly tender and of superb flavor when cooked. It is also used as a 

 Shelled Bean, excellent in that form. 



We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in the Union, 

 and those who report on them, invariably do so in most flattering terms. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for 4 qts., $3.00 peck. 



"Last year my Old Homestead Beans beat everything around here. The pods measured from 10 to 11^/z 

 inches long and there were big bunckes of them."
