Henderson's Bountiful Bean 



A FLAT GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



A Prolific and Continuous Bearer. The First in Spring, the Last in Fall. 

 Absolutely Stringless, Very Tender. 



This superior variety, introduced 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 remarkably handsome and of thrifty 



growth, being practically rust and mildew proof. 



It is very hardy, extremely early, very prolific 



and bears continuously 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. 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 delicious flavor exclusively their own. 



Moreover, the pods are absolutely stringless and 



entirely free from any tough, membranous lining, 



not only when young, but this tender "snap 



brittle" quality is retained even into maturity. 



We advise leaving a few of the older pods to be used 



as green shell Beans, in which condition they are 



most palatable. It is equally valuable as a dry shelled 



Bean. (See engraving.)

time, 

 orous plants are unusually hardy, successfully 

 withstanding early frosts; it may therefore be 

 .planted very early. 



It will always yield a large crop of hand- 

 some, long, round, fleshy pods, rich green 

 in color and of unsurpassed tenderness 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 engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 

 for 4 qts., $3.00 peck. 



Longfellow 



A ROUND GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 

 Extra Early, Fine Quality, and of Delicious Flavor. 



This extra early variety, although comparatively 

 new, has been pretty widely distributed, and we 

 have yet to hear anything but praise about its fine 

 quality and other merits; it is in fact an ideal Snap 

 Bean, producing a fine crop of round, straight, solid, 

 fleshy pods averaging 6H inches long, wonderfully tender 

 and brittle, without a trace of tough interlining, and 

 having no string when broken, excepting when the pods are 

 quite old. The flavor is most delicious, while the delicate green color 

 of the pods is retained after cooking, adding to its attractiveness when 

 served. The plants are of robust, compact habit, unexcelled in bearing 

 qualities, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the pods being 

 fit to pick four days before other varieties of approximate size.

 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck. 



Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine Bean 



A Standard Green-Podded Dwarf Snap Bean. Full, round, meaty 

 pods of unsurpassed tenderness. Remains long fit for use. 



This grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red 

 Valentine, as it is very much earlier, and remains fit for use for a long 

 The healthy, vig-
