OLD HOMESTEAD K entuS r ^ v o e n d der 



GREENLPODDED SNAP POLE BEAN 

 A Marvel of Productiveness from July until frost. Large, thick, stringless 

 pods, meaty, tender and delicious 



This best and most popular green-podded snap pole bean is a marvel of continued pro- 

 ductiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green pole bean. First pickings may 

 be made in this latitude early in July, and if the pods are gathered as they become ready 

 for "snaps," the vine will continue to produce in great abundance until killed by frost. 



The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be gathered 

 by the handful; the pods are very large, 8 to 10 inches in length, entirely stringless, plump, 

 round and almost "solid meat, " cooking meltingly tender and of superb flavor. 



We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in the 

 Union, and those who report on them invariably do so in most flattering terms. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 pk.~ 



"I am highly pleased with your Old Homestead Beans. I picked the first on July 16th and from that time 

 until frost the vines hung so full that one could pull off great handf tills at a time." 



JOS. M. SCOTT, New Alexandria, Ohio. 



THE TWO BEST POLE LIMAS GROWN! 



Leviathan for Early"ldeal for Main Crop 



HENDERSON'S EARLY LEVIATHAN 



POLE LIMA BEAN 



One week earlier than any! Two weeks earlier than most! 



Of Superior Quality. Immense Size 



Wonderfully Productive 



This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the length 

 i of season required to mature it, the early frost coming on as the 

 t crop is ready to pick. Leviathan is one week earlier than any 

 *. large Pole Lima yet offered and two weeks earlier than most, 

 consequently it will prove a boon to thousands of growers. 

 We cannot praise too highly the splendid quality and enor- 

 mous productiveness of this peerless variety. The pods 

 grow in large clusters — we have frequently seen from 5 to 10 

 in a cluster, — and they are always well filled with the most 

 delicious beans of beautiful green color. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 pk. 



"Permit me to congratulate you on the introduction of Henderson's 

 Early Leviathan Pole Limas. It is the peer of any variety that I have 

 ever grow or seen." W. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 



HENDERSON'S NEW 



POLE LIMA BEAN, "IDEAL" 



The Best Main Crop Lima Grown Enormously Prolific. Beans of 



Gigantic Size. Quality, Tenderness and Flavor Superb 



There have been several special types and selections of the favorite old large White Lima put 

 on the market, most of which have been improvements in one way or another. Our Levia- 

 than, offered above, is a notable example, among its excellent points being that of earliness. 

 Henderson's Ideal Lima is not extra early, but it matures a tremendous crop before 

 frost in the vicinity of New York. The merits of this variety are enormous size of pod 

 and bean, productiveness and quality. It produces the largest Limas we have seen in 

 our experience of over fifty years; five to seven of these big, fat buttery 1 



borne in pods averaging two-thirds of a foot long; these pods are produced in 

 large clusters, those at the bottom of the plant maturing early in the sej 

 followed in succession by the upper clusters, those at the top of the po!. 

 ing in before frost. The plant is of rugged constitution, which, 

 through wet spells without injury. The superb quality, tender- 

 rich flavor, combined with gigantic size of bean and product i\ 

 render Henderson's IDEAL the peer of any Lima grown for use either 

 green or cured. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., 

 $2.50 pk. 



"For some years I have been making a specialty of growing Pole Lima I 

 and have bought nearly everything offered by the different seedsmen bu 

 found anything to compare with your Ideal for .
