HENDERSON'S New Stringless Wax Bean 



Golden Age 



{Illustrated on the opposite page) 



A TRIUMPH OF HORTICULTURAL ART 

 THE BEST STRINGLESS WAX BEAN EXTANT 



44. We have named this supreme product of the horticultural 

 art "Golden Age," because we believe its advent means that the 

 hybridizing and breeding of this important vegetable — the Bush 

 Bean — has now advanced so far on the road to perfection that it 

 may take rank, even if in a lesser degree, with modern achieve- 

 ments in other branches of human endeavor. 



Bush Beans are essentially an American institution, and they 

 belong to us as much as those other great American contributions 

 to the food of man — the Tomato, the Potato, and, crowning glory 

 of all, Sweet Corn. Stringy beans are detrimental both to the 

 temper and the digestion, and dieticians the world over will wel- 

 come the advent of "Golden Age" Bean, the best stringless wax 

 bean ever introduced. 



Besides being absolutely stringless, "Golden Age" Bean is 

 remarkable for its rust-resisting and disease-resisting qualities. 

 The plants are vigorous ii. growth and bear heavy crops of trans- 

 parent, tender, golden waxy pods, delightful totheeye> and ready 

 to pick in 45 days from the planting of the seed. 



The quantity of seed we can dispose of this year is very limited, 

 as we must keep a reserve stock to guard against possible crop 

 failures next year; so orders should be sent in at the earliest 

 possible date. 



Price, ,20c. packet; 3 packets, 50c. ; 7 packets, $1.00.

EXQUISITELY TENDER GREEN PODS 

 VERY PROLIFIC— ABSOLUTELY STRINGLESS 



28. We make no claim to "wizardry" in our efforts to improve 

 varieties of vegetables; we proceed according to natural laws 

 known to scientists for a century. 



But the "way is long," and the breeding of this new offering, 

 HENDERSON'S TENDERGREEN BUSH BEAN, represents 

 the work of years. 



Hybridization and selection of plants has in capable hands pro- 

 duced many improvements upon nature, and for many years our 

 own efforts have been directed in part to the elimination of 

 "String" in bush beans. We offered to our friends the "Hender- 

 son Stringless Bush Bean" in 1920, which won instant favor, and 

 we now have very great pleasure in offering another of entirely 

 different origin ; which we name Tendergreen, because that word 

 expresses its most marked characteristic, in addition to being 

 absolutely stringless. 



Tendergreen is a product of our own trial grounds, grown, 

 hybridized and selected under our own eyes. Our aim is to place 

 these new productions on the tables of our customers as quickly 

 as possible so that they may continue as we phrased it last year 

 "to know the joy of eating beans without strings." We have 

 accumulated stock enough to offer it this year in packets, but 

 orders must be sent in early, as they will be filled in the order 

 they arrive. 



Price, 20c. packet; 3 packets, 50c; 7 packets, Sl.00.

ROUND, GREEN-PODDED BEAN, TENDER AND MEATY, RUST-RESISTING. 

 RESULT OF FIVE YEARS OF SELECTION. 



THE 



, 22. This new bush bean, introduced by us three years ago, 

 has been received with great appreciation by our customers 

 who grew it. Letters of praise are reaching us from all parts 

 of the country, but lack of space prevents us from printing 

 more than the three which appear at the foot of this description. 

 The HENDERSON New Stringless Bean is absolutely string- 

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

 i|The vine is upright, strong and healthy; about one and a half to 

 i ( two feet in height, and bears a heavy crop of meaty, tender pods 

 six to seven inches in length, in about seven weeks from sowing 

 the seed. The quality and flavor of the pods is 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. Having considerably 



increased our seed stock of this desirable variety we are able to 

 offer it in larger quantities this year. 



Price, 20c. packet, 80c. pint, $1.50 quart. 



"Last year we tried one package of your New Stringless Busk Beans and found 

 them excellent in every way, far surpassing all the beans we ever grew before. They 

 were absolutely stringless just as you say and you are to be greatly congratulated." 

 MRS. CLARENCE F. GRAHAM, Albany, N. Y.

 Your Henderson New Stringless- Bush Bean was especially fine The best that I 

 have ever grown or eaten."
