HENDERSON'S 



Black Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red 

 Valentine, and the pod is fully 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 Valentine, 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 produced in enormous quantities. 

 For any purpose, or at any time of the year, this 

 bean will be found exceedingly valuable to all 

 classes of growers. (See engraving.) Price, loc. 

 pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.20 for half peck. 



Refugee or 1,000 to 1 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



A very popular variety on account of its 

 exceeding productiveness. It is medium early 

 and is also extensively grown in the north and 

 south for a fall crop. The plants are of healthy, 

 robust growth, about 15 inches high, of true 

 branching biish growth. The pods are of 

 attractive appearance, round, long and slim, 

 of light green color, fleshy, solid and brittle, 

 with but slight string and of tender and mild 

 flavor. Price, loc. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt.,

HENDERSON'S 



Earliest Red Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED DWARF SNAP BEAN 



Full, Round, Meaty Pod. 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 Ion 

 ti^ie. The healthy, vigorous plants are unusually hardy, successfully 

 withstanding early frosts; it may therefore be planted very early.' 

 It will always yield a large crop of handsome, long, round, fleshy^ 

 pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness when gath- 

 ered youn, when it is practically stringless. It is the Standard Snap 

 Bean, not only for the earliest, but for successive plantings, bearing 

 up to frost. Price, loc. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 for half peck.' 

 " Your Earliest Red Valentine Beans are the best I ever raised. I have 

 had Beans from nine different seedsmen, but none equal Henderson's." 



R. D. MILLER, Gainesville, Ga. 

 "From half-a-pint of Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine Bush Beans 

 we gathered 5}i bushels of pods." 



JOHN B. BLACKIE, Altoona, Pa. 

 "I prefer Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine Bush Beans to any other 

 I ever used." MISS SALLIE THOMAS, 



2001 Terrace, Place, Nashville, Tenn. 



"Our vegetables grown from Henderson's seeds were more abundant and 

 better than I have ever seen them. We only planted our bush beans for table 

 use, but they were abundant — lie had to sell part of them." 



- ' MISS SARAH HUD N ALL, Lynchburg, Va. 



"We , have been having for some time all the string beans we could use, 

 Vhile those of our neighbors are just in blossom." 



Mrs. WM. LEIGHTON, Concord, N. H. 



HENDERSON'S 



Extra Early Refugee 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



This variety is a decided improvement 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 productive. 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. (<See 



engraving.) Price, loc pkt., 35c. pt., 6oc. qt., 



S2.20 for half peck. 



" Henderson's Early Refugee Beans are very fine and were 



loaded with blossoms in four weeks' time. My peas, too, 



are very fine, and they will 



be ready to eat on June 16th 



(Sunday) , five weeks and 



one day since planting. 



and that on poor soil."
