 more even and regular in its growth than Conover's Colossal. 

 The Palmetto has now been planted in all parts of the country, 

 and the reports prove that it is equally well adapted for all 

 sections, North and South, although it was originally a 

 variety of southern origin. Its quality is even better than 

 the Colossal. [See cut!) Price of two-year old roots, SI. 00 

 per 100, $6.00 per 1000 (500 at 1000 rates).

HENDERSON'S 



Earliest Red Valentine Bean. 



America's Standard Green-Podded Dwarf Snap 

 Bean. 



This grand variety is a great improvement over 

 the original Red Valentine, which it has now 

 entirely supplanted, being fully ten days earlier; 

 often ready to pick in forty-five days from sowing. 

 The healthy, vigorous plants are unusually hardy, 

 withstanding frosts that kill other varieties; it may 

 therefore be planted very early. This, with its 

 quick development, makes it the earliest large- 

 podded variety, and on this account it is exten- 

 sively grown by truckers, over wide sections of the 

 country. 



It produces a large crop of handsome, long, 

 round, fleshy pods, rich green in color and of un- 

 surpassed tenderness and quality when gathered 

 young, when it is practically stringless. It is the 

 Standard Snap Bean, not only for the earliest but 

 for successive plantings, bearing up to frost. {See 

 cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $1.90 pk., $7.00 bush. 



"Jn regard to your Red Valentine Beans I wish to say that 

 they are the best I ever raised. I have bought seeds from seedsmeti 

 in 9 different stales but none equal Henderson's Earliest Red 

 Valentine Bean." R. D. MILLER. Gainsville, Ga.
