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



Henderson's 



Earliest Red 



Valentine 



America's Standard 



Green-podded Dwarf 



Snap Bean 



This is one of the 

 oldest American varie- 

 ties. 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 se- 

 lection. Henderson's 

 Earliest Red Valen- 

 tine is relied on by the 

 most successful mar- 

 ket 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 maintains 

 its fresh appearance so 

 well long after picking. 



Price, qt. 60c., pk. 

 S3.00, bush. $11.00. 



Unrivaled Wax Bush 



The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown 



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 character- 

 istic, of curving slightly at the ends towards 

 maturity, thus avoiding 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 renders it extremely' 

 valuable. Price, qt. 65c., pk. $3.75, bush. 

 $14.00. 



The Hodson Long Pod 

 Wax Bush 



Enormous Pods — Enormous Yielder 



This distinctive type of bean is remark- 

 able for wonderful productiveness, out- 

 yielding any other bush bean two to one on 

 a given area. The sturdy plants often 

 attain 2V2 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. {See engraving.) Price, qt. 

 70c., pk. $4.00., bush 815.00. 



BUSH BEANS 



HENDERSON'S 



Extra Early Refugee 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



This variety is a decided im- 

 provement on the old Refugee or 

 1,000 to 1, as it is fully two weeks 

 earlier. It has all the good quali- 

 ties of the old Refugee, being 

 wonderfully productive. The pods 

 are of good form, very fleshy, free 

 from string and very tender. 

 .Almost certain to produce a crop 

 even in unfavorable seasons. 

 Should be in every garden. {See 

 engraving). Price, qt. 60c., pk.
