HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



HENDERSON'S 



Extra Early Refugee Bean. 



This is one of the very best green podded varieties 

 for the market gardener. It is ready at the same time 

 as the Earliest Red Valentine, and two weeks earlier 

 than the Late Refugee, or 1000 to 1. The plant has 

 the true Refugee habit, bearing a mass of small leaves, 

 which shelter the pods from hot suns. The pods are 

 round, almost straight, fleshy and solid, and of re- 

 markable uniformity in size. It is a prodigious 

 cropper, and an excellent shipper, and is popular on 

 a,ll markets and of excellent quality in every respect.

Refugee, or "1000 to 1." 



The most prolific dwarf, green -podded Snap Bean. 



A very popular maAet gardener's variety on account 

 of its exceeding productiveness. It is extensively 

 grown both in the north and south for a fall crop.

 inches high, of true branching bush 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. 

 This type of bean is the most popular in the markets of 

 the large cities and it is also extensively used for 

 pickling. Our strain of Refugee is very fine. (See 

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

The Hodson Long Wax Pod Bush Bean 



ENORMOUS PLANTS. ENORMOUS PODS. ENORMOUS YIELDERS. 

 Never Affected by Rust and Blight. 



This distinct new type of bean is remarkable for great size of plant and 

 pod and wonderful productiveness. Outyielding any other bush bean two 

 j 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, measuring 

 I 7 to 8 inches in length. The ample foliage sheltering the pods from the 

 hot sun renders them exceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked before 

 ' too old they are stringless, and of fine qttality. 



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 

 them. The Hodson Bush Beans come 

 in^^about 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf 

 varieties, and for main crops are destined 

 to become important for both the private 

 table and for market growers on account 

 of their phenomenal vigor and productive- 

 ness. The plants should be thinned out to 

 at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 

 account of their great size. {See cut.)

 with the Hodson Long Pod Wax described 

 above — with the exception of the color of 

 the pods which are green instead of yellow.

 ductiveness and other qualities which 

 have already made the Hodson Wax 

 famous. Price, 25c. qt., $1.70 pk., $6.00
