22 "HENDERSON" STRINGLESS 



Really Stringless, Tender and Meaty, Rust-Resisting 



This stringless bush bean, introduced by us in 1920, has been received 

 with great appreciation by our customers who grew it. Letters are 

 reaching us from all parts of the country from customers who com- 

 mend us for the beautiful appearance, absolute freedom from string 

 and fine quality. 



The "Henderson" Stringless Bush Bean is absolutely stringless 

 from the first to the last picking and is quite free from rust. The 

 vine is upright, strong and healthy; about one and a half to two 

 feet in height, and bears a heavy crop of meaty, tender pods six to 

 seven inches in length, in about seven weeks from planting the seed. 

 The quality and flavor of the pods are unexcelled, and even when 

 canned they retain their color and flavor just as if freshly picked from 

 the vine. We recommend it to our customers, knowing that it will 

 give great satisfaction. (See illustration.)

16 RED VALENTINE, Earliest (Henderson's) 



This grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red Valentine, as it is very 

 much earlier, and remains fit for use for a long time. The healthy, vigorous plants are un- 

 usually hardy, successfully withstanding early frosts; it may therefore be planted very- 

 early. It will always yield a large crop of handsome, long, round, fleshy pods, rich green in 

 color and of unsurpassed tenderness when gathered young, when it is practically stringless.

 proportion; verv meatv, round, brittle, and stringless. The plants bear prolific crops.

19 LONGFELLOW 



An ideal Snap Bean, producing a fine crop of round straight, solid, fleshy pods averag- 

 ing 6Y2 inches long, wonderfully tender and brittle, without a trace of tough inter- 

 lining, and having no string when broken, excepting when the pods are quite old. The 

 flavor is most delicious, while the delicate green color of the pods is retained after cooking, 

 adding to its attractiveness when served. The plants are of robust, compact habit, un- 

 excelled in bearing qualities, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra*early, the rods 

 being fit' to pick four days before other varieties of 

 approximate size.

 its extensive cultivation for canning and pickling purposes. 

 Many thousands of bushels are grown annually to supply 

 the demand for the popular German schnitzel beans. The 

 plants grow about 15 inches high. The pods are light green 

 in color, long and slim but slight string. An ideal fall 

 cropping variety.

 less. We are now happy to offer a perfectly stringless 

 type of this splendid bean, but possessing all of the other 

 good qualities of its progenitor. It bears straight soft 

 green pods, produced in abundance. It is also a good 

 forcing varietv. (See illustration.)
