HENDERSON'S 



MAMMOTH 

 WAX 



Dwarf or Bush Bean 



A GIANT AMONG BEANS 



FIFTY MONSTER PODS TO A PLANT 



SOLID PULP, TENDER AND DELICIOUS 



The outstanding features of this wonderful 

 bean are emphasized in the alx>ve headings. 

 Introduced by us in 1889 it has held its place 

 as a favorite for amateurs and market garden- 

 ers and is today better than when we first 

 offered it. It is of such gigantic growth, for a 

 bush bean, that it should be planted at least 

 one-half wider than ordinary varieties, conse- 

 quently a smaller quantity of seed is required 

 for the same ground space. The size of pod 

 and plant suggested its name. 



The pods frequently attain a length of ten to 

 fourteen inches, about the thickness of a man's 

 finger, and are nearly all solid pulp, the seeds 

 being very small at the period when the pods 

 are fit for use. The pod is a rich, golden color, 

 absolutely stringless, cooking tender and de- 

 licious. It is enormously productive, as many 

 as fifty of its monster pods having been counted 

 on a bush. (See engraving.) Price, 20c. pkt., 

 75c. pt., $1.40 qt. 



HENDERSON'S 

 IMPROVED 



DWARF OR BUSH BEAN 



One of the oldest varieties grown, which by 

 constant selection has been so greatly im- 

 proved, 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 

 translucent. Black Wax is very early, enormously productive and oj 

 fine quality, and one of the most reliable sorts for general use. Price, 

 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 



Black Wax 



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 sur- 

 passes 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 planted in spring, summer or early fall, renders it highly 

 valuable for both home and market planting. Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. 

 pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 



" The Golden Yellow Wax Beans came up the tenth day from planting, and in 

 six weeks I picked them for the table."

The Hodson Long Pod 



CREAMY YELLOW WAX BUSH BEAN 



ENORMOUS PLANT. ENORMOUS POD. ENORMOUS YIELDER. 

 NEVER AFFECTED RY RUST OH BLIGHT. 



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 2J^ feet in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty 

 pods, measuiing 7 to 8 inches in length and of a waxy cream-yellow 

 color. The ample foliage sheltering 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 phe- 

 nomenal vigor and productiveness. The plants should I e t Inured out 

 to at least 6 inches apart in the rows on account of the great size of tho 

 plants. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 

 4 qts. 



"Hodson Long Pod Beans are fine. Last year was the first time I ever planted 

 them and I was delighted with them." C. J. LECHXER, c oj ..... .V. 1'.
