EVIEJRYTMSHG FOIR THE GA 



DO NOT FAIL TO TRY 

 The Most Remarkable Bean of the Century 



The Hodson Long Pod 



CREAMY YELLOW WAX BUSH BEAN 



ENORMOUS PLANT. ENORMOUS POD. ENORMOUS YIELDER. 

 NEVER AFFECTED RY RUST OR RLIGHT. 



This distinct new type of bean is remarkable for its great size of plant and 

 pod and wonderful productiveness. It will outyield any other bush bean two 

 to one on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2}^ 

 feet in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 

 inches in length and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage shelter- 

 ing the pods from the hot sun renders them exceptionally tender, brittle, and if 

 picked before too old they are stringless, free from fibre and of fine table quality. 



This variety is absolutely immune from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 

 blight or mildew has ever appeared on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or 

 fields during the years we have been growing it — and the past season was 

 especially favorable for developing rust and blight on beans. The Hodson 

 Long Pod Wax comes in about two weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties, but 

 for main crop it is destined to become important for both the private table and 

 for market growers on account of its phenomenal vigor and productiveness. 

 The plants should be thinned out to at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 

 account of the great size of the plants. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 

 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 



''One cannot say too much in praise of your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans or of Golden 

 Bantam Corn. Each is unique in its class, and a revelation to persons accustomed to the 

 ordinary varieties." 



MISS ELEANOR L. PRA Y, Novogeorgievsk Estate, East Siberia. 



" We were delighted last season with the Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans which gave splendid^ 

 returns, and were the best beans we ever ate." 



MISS ELIZA JORDAN, St. Michael, Barbadoes 



Improved Golden Wax bean 



The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety 



Among the Yellow Wax-podded or "Butter" Beans, the Golden 

 Wax has long been in popular favor, but this Improved variety by 

 far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable points. The plants 

 are of vigorous, bushy growth, not susceptible to rust, moderately 

 early, and very prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, long, 

 thick, fleshy, tender and brittle, without string or coarse fibre at all stages 

 until maturity, while the color is of a rich golden-yellow. Although not the 

 earliest Dwarf Wax Bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop, whether i 

 planted in spring, summer or early fall, renders it highly valuable for both M 

 home and market planting. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., r 

 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 



"Am inclosing order for seeds, and can 

 say that last year's trial of your seeds gave us 

 [he best garden in the neighborhood. The 

 Improved Golden Wax Beans grew to eizht 

 and nine inches in length, and were wonder- 

 fully sweet and lender." 



Mrs. GEORGE DE VRIES, 



Milwaukee, Wis. 

 " Your Improved Golden Wax Beans are 

 all you claim for them and more. They are 

 almost absolutely without strings, even after 

 fully matured."

HENDERSON'S IMPROVED 



Black Wax 



DWARF OR BUSH BEAN 



One of the oldest varieties grown, 

 which by constant selection has been 

 so greatly improved, that it compares 

 favorably in every respect with many 

 of the newer sorts. The dwarf bushy 

 plants bear a heavy crop of creamy 

 yellow pods, medium in length, quite 

 round, slightly curved, very thick- 

 fleshed, and tender. It is a vigorous 

 grower with ample foliage, sheltering 

 the pods so they are uniformly translu- 

 cent. Black Wax is very early, enor- 

 mously productive and of fine quality, 

 and one of the most reliable sorts for 

 general use. Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 

 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 



MI14 Refugee 



Green Podded Bush Bean 



This variety is a decided improve- 

 ment on the old Refugee or 1,000 to 

 1, as it is fully two weeks earlier. It 

 has all the good qualities of the old 

 Refugee, being wonderfully pro- 

 ductive. The pods are of good form, 

 very fleshy, free from string and very 

 tender. Almost certain to produce a 

 crop even in unfavorable seasons. 

 Should be in every garden. Price, 10c. 

 pkt, 25c. pt., 45c, qt., $1.60 for 4 

 qts., $3.00 peck. 



"Last spring I bought from you an order 

 of seeds and we never had so many beans 

 as we had the past season. The limas 

 were great and the green podded beans 

 (Refugee) yielded all summer. There never 

 was a bit of rust on any of them."

 E. Bald Eagle St., Lock Haven, Pa.
