44 GOLDEN AGE (Henderson's) (See color puu. Page iz) 



A Triumph of Horticultural Art. The Best Stringless 

 Wax Bean Extant 



We have named this supreme product of the horticultural art "Golden Age," because 

 we believe its advent is an achievement in the science of plant breeding. Besides being 

 absolutely stringless it is remarkable for its rust-resisting and disease-resisting qualities. 

 The plants are vigorous in growth, and bear heavy crops of transparent, tender, golden 

 waxy pods, delightful to the eye, and ready to pick in 45 days from the planting of the

50 HODSON LONG POD 



Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by Rust or Blight 



The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2 x /i feet in height, and bear great 

 quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length and of a waxy cream- 

 yellow color. The ample foliage sheltering the pods from the hot sun renders them ex- 

 ceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked before too old they are stringless, free from 

 fibre and of fine table quality. 



This variety is remarkably free from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, blight or mil- 

 dew has ever appeared on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or fields during the 

 years we have been growing it. (See illustration.)

56 UNRIVALED 



Earliest' Wax Podded Variety Grown 



Wax beans from your own garden are not only 

 a delicacy but they possess a high food value. 



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. The color develops very early in the growth of the pods, which remain 

 tender for a long period. The flavor is excellent, and both plant and pod are free 

 from rust and blight. (See illustration.)
