Unrivaled Wax bush r b E Tn 



THE EARLIEST WAX PODDED VARIETY GROWN 

 CREAMY YELLOW WAX PODS WITHOUT RUST 

 SYMMETRICAL SHAPE ATTRACTIVE COLOR 



This is a comparatively new variety, but has come very rapidly into general favor. 

 It is in our opinion a decided acquisition. 



The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with large, almost smooth, 

 lustrous green leaves. It bears an enormous crop of pods of a most beautiful 

 semi-transparent pale yellow color. This color is maintained clear to the tips 

 without any suggestion of green. The pods are about six inches long and almost 

 straight, but with the valuable characteristic of curving slightly at the ends towards 

 maturity, thus avoiding contact with the ground, and preventing liability to rust 

 and rot, also preserving intact the natural beauty of the pod. 



It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. We have found 

 it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which alone renders it extremely 

 valuable. The color develops very early in the growth of the pods, which remain 

 tender for a long period. The flavor is excellent, and both plant and pod are 

 singularly free from rust and blight. (Sec colored illustration.) Price, 15c. pkt., 

 35c. pt., 60c. qt. ( $2.00 4 qts. 



"J wish to add my testimonial to the merits of Henderson's Unrivaled Wax Beans. They are 

 certainly tender and grand, and the yield was bountiful."

"Last year I planted your Unrivaled Wax Bush Beans side by side with some Bush Beans I 

 bought front another well known seed company who sells through the stores. It was a very rainy 

 year, as you will remember , yet Henderson's Unrivaled Wax Beans did net rust. The 

 bushes bore better pods, and bore more of them and for a longer time, than the others."

Henderson's Black Valentine 



GREEN PODDED BUSH BEAN 



Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red Valentine, and the pod is 

 one-third longer. In addition it has other valuable points. The 

 pods are extra long, round, straight and tender, and of a beautiful soft 

 green color. It is also equally early, but has another advantage in 

 that it is more suitable for late planting. In a test of the Extra Early 

 Refugee, Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine and Black Valen- 

 tine, conducted in the fall, we found that Black Valentine was 

 fully as useful as Extra Early Refugee, being equally as hardy 

 in every respect as the Refugee, while the beans were pro- 

 duced in enormous quantities. For any purpose, or at 

 7^^^^. any time of the year, this bean will be found exceed- 

 Henderson's Black Val- ^L i n gly valuable to all classes of growers. (See colored

the good varieties. The Black Valentine is the best for both early and late planting and will stand 

 wet, cold weather. It is of the finest quality, easy to pick and is the most productive bean on the 

 market today, but they must be gathered at the right lime."
