THIS LIST CA.XCELS ALL PREVIOUS OFFERS NOT ACCEPTED. 



HENDERSONS Black Valentine Bean. 



Ready for picking in 45 days from planting. 



In the South it is grown in enormous quantities for shipment 

 to the Northern Markets. In some respects it excels all other 

 varieties; there is none that bears so heavy a crop, and none 

 which presents a more salable appearance after long shipping. 

 It should be picked as soon as the Beans have attained their 

 full size, as they are liable to develop more string than some 

 sorts. Price, 45c. qt., $3.20 peck, $12.00 bush. 



Refugee or 1000 to 1 Bean. 



The best dwarf late, green-podded snap bean 

 A very popular market gardener's variety on account of its ex- 

 ceeding productiveness. It is extensively grown for a fall crop 

 in both the north and south. The plants are strong, healthy, 

 and robust, about 15 inches high, branching and bushy in 

 growth. This bean is the most popular of all in the markets of 

 large cities and is extensively used for pickling. Our strain 

 is very fine, and will be found free from flat pods. Price, 

 45c. qt., $3.20 pk., $12.00 bush. 



Unrivaled Wax Bush Bean 



The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown. 



{Illustrated on the back cover.) 



This is a comparatively new variety, but has come very rapidly 

 into general favor. 



The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with large, 

 almost smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears an enormous crop of 

 pods of a most beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color. The pods 

 are about six inches long and almost straight, but with the valuable 

 characteristic of curving slightly at the ends towards maturity, thus avoid- 

 ing contact with the ground, and preventing liability to rust and rot. 



It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. We 

 have found it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which alone ren- 

 ders it extremely valuable. Price, 55c. qt., $4.20 pk., $16.00 bush. 



Henderson's Earliest 



Red Valentine Bean. 



America's standard green-podded dwarf snap bean. 

 This is one of the oldest American varieties. It has always 

 been one of the most popular sorts among market growers, but 

 even more so of late years, because of the greatly improved 

 stocks, which have been maintained by constant, careful selec- 

 tion. Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine is relied on by the 

 most successful market gardeners for an early crop. It is grown 

 with the greatest ease, and commands a ready sale in all markets. 

 There is no variety that holds its color better, none which main- 

 tains its fresh appearance so well long after picking and it is 

 unsurpassed in tenderness and flavor. {See engraving.) Price, 

 45c. qt., $3.20 pk., $12.00 bush.

The Hodson 



LONG-POD 

 WAX 



Bush Bean. 



Enormous Plants. Enormous Pods. Enormous Yielder. 



This distinctive type of bean is remarkable for wonderful productive- 

 ness, outyielding any other bush bean two to one on a given area. The 

 sturdy plants often attain 2]/i feet in height, and bear great quantities of 

 long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length. 



This variety is particularly free from bean diseases, and comes in 

 about 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties. The plants should be 

 thinned out to at least 6 inches apart in the rows on account of their great 

 size. Price, 50c. qt., $3.70 pk., $14.00 bush.
