The Hodson Long Pod Wax Bush Bean 



ENORMOUS PLANTS. ENORMOUS PODS. ENORMOUS YIELDERS 



These distinct new types of beans are remarkable for great 

 size of plant and pod and wonderful productiveness. They 

 will out-yield any other bush bean two to one on a 

 given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain 

 dimensions 2i feet in height, and bear great quan 

 tities of long, meaty pods, measuring 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, free from fibre and of fine table 

 quality. 



The Hodson Bush Beans come in about 2 

 weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties, and 

 for main crops are destined to become impor- 

 tant for both the private table and for market 

 growers on account of their phenomenal vigor 

 and productiveness. The plants should be 

 thinned out to at least 6 inches apart in the 

 rows on account of their great size. These 

 varieties are absolutely immune from bean 

 diseases. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., 

 $2.00 pk., $7.00 bu. 



The Hodson on pod reen Bush Bean 



This variety is practically identical with the 

 Hodson Long Pod Wax described above — with 

 the exception of the color of the pods which are 

 green instead of yellow. It has the same vigor, 

 length of pod, productiveness and other quali- 

 ties which have already made the Hodson Wax 

 famous. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 

 pk., $6.50 bu.

HENDERSON'S 



Golden Scimitar Wax Bush Bean 



THE PERFECTION OF CYLINDErVPODDED DWARF WAX BEANS 



This new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean has attained the top 

 notch among beans of this class. It has been so highly bred and 

 selected that it excels all others in its combination of essential 

 qualities, among which are remarkable uniformity in size and 

 shape. It produces no culls, the pods average five to six inches 

 in length, which is unusually large for a round-podded, wax 

 variety; they are very solid, meaty and tender, free from string, 

 breaking brittle, and the flavor is unsurpassed. These desirable 

 table qualities are retained well on towards maturity, long 

 after many other sorts have become too tough and stringy to use. 

 The plant is everything desirable, bushy and robust, free from 

 rust or mildew, and extremely prolific. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. 



"The Golden Scimitar Wax Beans surpassed any other in beauty, crop and 

 quality." F. F. WALKER, South Sudbury, Mass. 



Improved Golden Wax Bush 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 surpasses 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 ex- 

 ceedingly 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 producing a heavy crop of large 

 handsome pods, whether planted in spring, summer or early fall, 

 renders it highly valuable for both home and market planting. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.50 bush.
