HENDERSON'S 

 Early Black Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED DWARF BUSH BEAN 



A GREAT FAVORITE BECAUSE OF ITS BLIGHT-RESISTING QUALITIES 



Very Hardy, Ready for Picking in 45 Days from Planting 



Henderson's Early Black Valentine is one of the most productive green-podded 

 sorts, and m certain respects it excels all other varieties, for there is none other that 

 bears so heavy a crop, and none that produces pods that will present such a saleable 

 appearance after travelling a long distance to the market. 



Henderson's Early Black Valentine should be picked as soon as the pods have 

 attamed a marketable size to avoid the formation of string. The bushes are very 



strong and vigorous and the pods 

 are handsome, very dark green in 

 color, nearly round; one third 

 longer and much straighter than 

 Red Valentine. A large crop may 

 always be expected; and as it 

 is a decidedly long distance shipper 

 and also resists blight, it is a great 

 favorite with market gardeners.

KING OF THE 

 EARLIES 



A heavy cropper and excellent 

 shipper 



A very desirable handsome 

 appearing variety with long regu- 

 lar round pods of light delicate 

 green. Its chief value, however, 

 lies in its dependable earliness and 

 in the large profitable crops which 

 it produces. As a standard or 

 catch crop it is a sure money 

 maker. Price, [qt. €0c., pk. $3.25, 

 bush. $12.00. 



Henderson's Bountiful 



A FLAT, GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



Prolific and Continuous Bearer the First in Spring— - 

 the Last in Fall Stringless, Tender and of Delicious Flavor 



This superior variety, introduced by us, is a distinct improvement in green 

 Bush Beans and has become exceedingly popular wherever known. The plant is 

 remarkably handsome and of thrifty growth, being practically rust and mildew 

 proof. It is very hardy, extremely early, very prolific. 



The crowning merit of this grand Bush Bean is in the rich green pods, which are 

 of immense size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty and of 

 high quality, meltingly tender and having a delicious flavor exclusively their own. 

 Moreover, the pods are not only stringless and entirely free from, any tough, mem- 

 branous lining when young, but this tender "snap brittle" quality is retained even 

 into maturity. (See engrai<ing.) Price, qt. 70c., peck $4.00, bush. $15.00.
