BEANS. 



DWARF or BUSH, GREEN PODDED. 



The crop of Bush and Wax Beans of 1916 was almost a complete failure, some 

 sorts failing entirely, consequently prices range high. The supply of sorts quoted is 

 limited and quotations in this catalogue are made subject to being unsold upon re- 

 ceipt of order. 



Bountiful, Henderson's. The best flat, green podded bean in existence 



Black Valentine, Henderson's. Since we introduced this Bean it has been used very 

 extensively by the largest planters. In the South it is grown in enormous quanti- 

 ties for shipment to the Northern markets, and it has become equally popular for 

 growing on smaller areas. In some respects it excells all other varieties; there is 

 none that bears so heavy a crop, and none which presents a more salable appear- 

 ance after long shipping. Ready for picking in 45 days from planting. (See engraving) 



Earliest Red Valentine, Henderson's. This is one of the oldest American varieties. 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 selection. It is earlier, the pods are longer, thicker, of greater 

 substance, and the plants bear more continuously than ever 



Full Measure, Henderson's. A round, green-podded bush bean, a cross between 

 the old Refugee and Yosemite Wax. The pods are five inches long, stringless, quite 

 round, have no neck and are of extremely good quality. It is far superior to any 

 of its class. (Crop failure) 



Green Pod Hodson. This is practically identical with the Hodson Long Pod Wax 

 but the pods are green instead of yellow 



Horticultural Dwarf. A bush variety of the popular Climbing Horticultural; A grand 

 shell Bean. Our stock is free from runners 



King of the Earlies 



Low's Champion. One of the best large-podded shell varieties. (Crop failure) 



Longfellow, Henderson's. Longfellow is one of the most attractive green-podded 

 Beans for any market. It is very early and bears an enormous crop of long, round, 

 fleshy pods of great firmness, and pale green in color. Its compact growth and habit 

 of bunching the crop near the center of the plant make it very easy to pick 



Refugee, or 1,000 to 1. A very popular 'market gardener's variety on account of its 

 exceeding productiveness. It is extensively grown for a fall crop both in the north 

 and south. The plants are strong, healthy and robust, about 15 inches high, 

 branching and bushy in growth. Our strain is very fine, and will be found free from 

 flat pods 



Refugee, Extra Early. This is a true Refugee, haying the peculiar, spreading habit 

 of its class, producing a mass of small leaves which protect the pods from the sun, 

 preserving their attractive color under trying conditions. It is two weeks earlier 

 than the old Refugee, and is largely grown as an early spring crop, and again in 

 late fall, at which season it does remarkably well 



Stringless Green Pod, Burpee's.
