Pole Beans 



1 gt to 150 hills; 10 to 16 qts, to the acre in hills. 

 CULTURE. — These are planted about the middle of May, in hills 

 rom three to four feet apart. From five to six seeds are planted in each 

 hill, ahovi two incites deep. Rough cedar or similar poles seven to eight 

 feet long should be used for Pole Beans to climb on. They should be set in the 

 ground at least einhteejiinches, so as to prevent being blown over. 



POLE LIMA BEANS are grown in hills three feet apart in rows four feet apart, but being 

 very tender, the seeds should not be planted until the ground has warmed up, abo.it two-weeks 

 later than other beans, or in the latter part of May around New Yorhe

THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN 



Abundantly Prolific Delicious Buttery Flavor 



85. Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there 

 are still many growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as 

 a class, later than the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities 

 there is a difficulty in maturing the crop. In Northern States, or 

 where, by reason of continued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, 

 Leviathan will be found admirably adapted. 



The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any 

 other sort. It is fully a week earlier than any other pole variety, 



therefore can be grown successfuU.v where other sorts %vould be caught by frosts of early autumn. 

 Moreover, it is a prodigious croppe'-, producing its pods in large clusters from base to top of pole, 

 frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well filled with large, fleshy Beans of excellent quality, 

 dehcate, pale green in color, and possessing in a superlative degree that rich, buttery flavor so highly 

 esteemed by all. {See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $2.85 for half peck. 



Henderson's 



Pole Lima 

 Beans 



THE BEST MAIN CBOP POLE LIMA GROWN 



Enormously Prolific — Of Gigantic Size — Tenderness and Flavor Superb 



90. This 13 another sterling 

 variety of our own introduction, 

 which attains an enormous size, 

 with a degree of productiveness 

 which is extremely rare. The 

 pods are amazingly large, and 

 are borne in great clusters. 



There is great satisfaction in 

 producing such large pods, yet 

 under ordinary conditions, any 

 one can do so, by planting 

 Henderson's Ideal. 



The vine does not differ 

 materially from that of the 

 ordinary pole varieties. Its 

 chief distinction lies in the 

 size of the pods, which hang 

 in wonderful profusion on 

 the vines. 



Not only are the pods singularly large, but the 

 average yield is greater than in any other variety, 

 which, taken in conjunction with the great size 

 of the individual Beans, gives a net crop of reallj- 

 remarkable proportions. 



Though a little later than our early Leviathan, 

 it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties, 

 and continues to produce enormous crops of 

 the best-flavored Beans right up to frost. Price, 

 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt , $2.85 for half peck 



*^Last year my Old Homestead Beans heat every' 

 thing around here. The pods measured from 10 to 

 11 inches long and there were big bunches of 

 them." Mrs. C. E. SC HELL, Butler, Pa. 



Old Homestead ^KeXckf Wonder 



Green-Podded Snap Pole Bean. A Marvel of Productiveness from July 

 Until Frost. Large, Thick, Stringless Pods. Meaty, Tender and Delicious 



06. This best and most pooular green-podded snap Pole Bean is a marvel of continued produc- 

 tivene.'is and is ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First pickings ma.v 

 be made in the latitude of New York early in July, and if gathered as they become ready for 

 "snaps," the vine will continue to produce in abundance until frost. 



The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be gathered 

 by the handful; they are very large, 6 to 8 inches in length, entirely stringless, plump, round, 

 and almost solid meat, meltinglj' tender and of superb flavor when cooked. It is also used as a 

 shelled Bean; excellent in that form. 



We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in the TJnicn, and 

 those who report on them, invariably do so in most flattering terms. {See engraving.) Price, 

 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.50 for half peck.
