28 TENDERGREEN (Henderson's) 



(See Color Plate, Page 6) 



First in Quality — The Bean De Luxe 



Bears a Profusion of Exquisitely 

 Tender Green Pods 



For those who demand quality above all else, we 

 recommend Tendergreen. The pods are absolutely 

 stringless and fiberless, with a delicious flavor and a 

 melting tenderness that distinguishes them as the 

 ultimate in quality. Tendergreen is not an erratic 

 producer, but a dependable and prolific bearer. It is 

 one of the earliest beans in cultivation. The vigorous 

 plants average from 14 to 15 inches high, the stems 

 are stout and rigid, the foliage is heavy, glossy and 

 attractive. The pods are deep, rich green in color, 

 extremely brittle, perfectly round, and 6 to 6% 

 inches long.

 8 lbs., $4.25.; 15 lbs., $7.50.

 very vigorous, almost immune from disease, hardy, 

 early and prolific. It bears rich green pods, of im- 

 mense size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform 

 in shape, solid, meaty, and of high quality, melt-
