Henderson's 



Bountiful Bean 



FLAT, GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



A PROLIFIC AND CONTINUOUS BEARER 

 THE FIRST IN SPRING — THE LAST IN FALL 

 -STRINGLESS. VERY TENDER, AND 

 OF DELICIOUS FLAVOR 



1. This superior variety, introduced by us, is a 

 distinct improvement in green Bush Beans and 

 has become exceedingly popular wherever known. 

 Our customers Who have grown it are enthusiastic 

 in its praise: some of them say, "You do not praise 

 it half enough." The plant is remarkably hand- 

 some and of thrifty growth, being practically rust 

 and mildew proof. It is very hardy, extremely 

 early, very prolific, and bears continuously for 

 several weeks; it is the first to give pods fit to 

 pick in the spring, and the last to yield : edible 

 pods in the fall. 



But the crowning merit of this grand Bush Bean is in 

 the rich green pods, which are of immense size, thick, 

 broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty 

 and of- high ciuality. meltingly tender and having a 

 delicious flavor exclusively their own. Moreover, the 

 pods are not only stringless and entirely free from any 

 tough, membranous lining when young, but this tender 

 brittle" quality is retained even into maturity. 

 ,'ise leaving a few of the older pods to be used as green 

 Beans, in which condition they are most palatable'. It is 

 valuable as a dry shelled Bean., One of our customers 

 that she "finds it most excellent shelled for winter use, 

 " (See engraving.)

"I have planted Henderson's Bountiful Bean for four years, 

 and will say that it is the best I have ever used. They are as 

 early as the earliest and with proper care and cultivation will 

 bear until frost kills them. Like your Ponderosa Tomato,

"My garden is admired by all who see it. Everything is 

 growing fine. A certain person asked me to get him some 

 Bountiful Beans, as he has' never seen anything like those 

 which I hate grown in my garden."

A ROUND, GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



EXTRA EARLY. FINE QUALITY,'AND OF 

 DELICIOUS FLAVOR 



T9. This extra early variety, although comparatively new, has 



been pretty -svidely distributed, and we have yet to hear anything 



but praise about its fine quality and other merits; it is in fact an 



ideal Snap Bean, producing a fine crop of round, straight, solid, 



fleshy pods averaging 6>^ inches long, wonderfully tender and 



brittle, without a trace of tough interlining, 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, unexcelled in bearing qualities, maturing 



the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the pods being fit to pick four 



davs before other varieties of approximate size. {See engraving.)
