PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



HENDERSONS 



Bountiful Bush Bean 



A prolific and continuous cropper. The first in 

 spring — the last in fall. Flat, green pod. Ab- 

 solutely stringless — very tender and of delicious 

 flavor. 



This superior variety, introduced into cultiva- 

 bion 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: many of 

 them say, we do not praise it half enough. 



The plant is of remarkably handsome and 

 thrifty growth, being practically rust and mildew 

 proof. It is ver>' hardy extremely early, verj' 

 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; in 

 fact, frost usually finds midsummer-sown plants 

 still in pod and blossom. 



The rich green pods are of immense size, thick. 

 broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, 

 meaty, and of high qualitj-, tender and of ex- 

 cellent flavor; the pods are absolutely stringless 

 and entirely free from any tough, membraneous 

 lining, not only when yoting, but this tender 

 quality is retained even after maturity. 



This variety is coming into great demand 

 among truckers, who find that its handsome 

 appearance and luscious quality hold their 

 customers. (See cut.) 



Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.50 bush.

HENDEKSONS 



Earliest Red Valentine Bean. 



AMERICA'S STANDARD GREEN- 

 PODDED DWARF SNAP BEAN. 



Ready for picking in 45 days from planting. Yields 

 prodigiously. Full, round, meaty pods of un- 

 surpassed tenderness and quality. 



This grand variety is a great improvement over the 

 original Red Valentine, which it has now entirely sup- 

 planted, being fully ten days earlier; often ready to pick 

 in fortj'-five days from sowing. The healthy, vigorous 

 jjlants are unusually hardy, withstanding frosts that kill 

 other varieties; it may therefore be planted very early - 

 This, with its quick development, makes it the earliest 

 large-podded variety, and on this account it is extensively 

 grown by truckers, over wide sections of the country. 



It produces a large crop of handsome, long, round fleshy 

 pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness 

 and quality 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. (Sec cut.) Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.50 bush. 



HENDERSON'S BLACK VALENTINE BEAN. 



Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red Valen- 

 tine, and, in addition, has other valuable points. The 

 pod is fully one-third longer than the Red Valentine 

 Perfectly round and straight, without " saddle-back," 

 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 conducted in the fall, we found 

 that Black Valentine was fully as useful as Extra Early 

 Refugee, being equally as hardy 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. Price, 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., 

 $6.50 bush.
