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



HENDERSON'S 



Market Wax Bush Bean. 



A MAMMOTH FLAT WAX-PODDED SORT. 



This grand acquisition we think will entirely 

 displace other fiat-podded wax beans. The 

 plants are unusually robust, with luxuriant, 

 healthy foilage, resisting disease and unfavorable 

 weather and, whether sown early, inidseason or 

 late, invariably produces in greatest abundance 

 large and handsome, waxy, golden-yellow pods. 

 They are of immense size, nearly six inches in 

 length, and of great breadth, entirely free from 

 green tips. The quality, unlike some varieties 

 of similar type, is fully equal to that of the 

 smaller podded dwarf wax beans, and the pods, 

 though flat, are thick, meaty, verv^ tender, en- 

 tirely stringless even when approaching maturity, 

 and of mild, fine flavor. It is very early for so 

 large a sort, rendering it of especial value as a 

 market bean. This new bean is not only de- 

 sirable as an edible wax-podded snap bean, but 

 is also valuable as a shell bean. {See cut.) 



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



Carrie's Rust-Proof Wax 

 BUSH BEAN. 



This is the earliest, hardiest and one of the most 

 prolific of the flat wax pod sorts. The plants 

 are robust with an abundance of leaves, which 

 afford ample protection to the pods, so that they 

 are always of a clear wax color. They are long, 

 straight and quite uniform in size, and always 

 most attractive in appearance. 



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



HENDERSON'S IMPROVED 



BLACK WAX BUSH BEAN. 



An Extra Early Cylinder-Podded Variety. 



This is a highly improved stock of the popular Black Wax. The plants are of 



robust though compact, bushy habit, with ample foliage, which completely shelters 



the pods from the effects of the sun, so that they are always of a uniform, waxy, 



yellow color. The pods are of good size, quite round, slightly curved, very solid, 



meaty and free from string; of excellent, tender quality. It is very prolific and 



one of the earliest wax-podded dwarf beans grown. It has a special value as a 



market variety, in the fact that it " stands up " admirably and 



mav alwavs be relied on to present a good appearance in the crate. 



Price, 25c'. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 



IMPROVED 



GOLDEN WAX BUSH BEAN. 



The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety. 



Golden Wax has long been in popular favor, but this im- 

 variety by far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable 

 points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy gro"wth, 

 not susceptible to rust, moderatelj^ early and 

 very prolific. The pods are exceedingly 

 handsome, large, uniformly broad, thick, and 

 almost all solid flesh, of good quality, tender 

 and brittle, absolutely 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 pro- 

 ducing a heavy crop of large 

 handsome pods, whether sown 

 in spring, summer or early 

 fall, renders it highly valu- 

 able for market planting.

 pk., $6.00 bush.
