UNRIVALED WAX 



56 Dwarf or Bush Bean 



The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown. Creamy Yellow Wax Pods 

 Without Rust. Symmetrical Shape. Attractive Color. 



This is a comparatively new variety, but has come very rapidly into 

 general favor. It is in our opinion a decided acquisition. 



The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with large, 

 almost smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears an enormous crop of pods 

 of a most beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color. This color is 

 maintained clear to the tips without any suggestion of green. The pods 

 are about six inches long and almost straight, but with the valuable char- 

 acteristic of curving slightly at the ends towards maturity, thus avoiding 

 contict with the ground, and preventing liability to rust and rot, also 

 preserving intact the natural beauty of the pod. _ 



It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. We 

 have found it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which^alone 

 renders it extremely valuable. The color develops very early in the 

 growth of the pods, which remain tender for a long period. The flavor 

 is excellent, and both plant and pod are singularly free from rust and 

 blight. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c qt, $2.50 for half tir>ck. 



"I wish to add my testimonials to the merits of Henderson's Unrivaled Wax 

 Beans. They certainly were just fine and tender and also through a week of heavy 

 rains every day there was not a rust on any of my beans. They were the only Wax 

 Beans in my neighborhood that did not rust and get tough; they were very lender.

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX 



Bush Bean 



47 The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety 



Among the Yellow Wax-podded or "Butter" Beans, the Golden Wax 

 has long been in popular favor, but this Improved variety by far sur- 

 passes the old favorite in several desirable points. The plants are of 

 vigorous, bushy growth, not susceptible to rust, moderately early, and 

 very prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, long, thick, fleshy, 

 tender and brittle, without string or coarse fibre at all stages until 

 maturity, while the color is of a rich golden-yellow. _ Although not the 

 earliest Dwarf Wax Bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop, 

 whether planted in spring, summer or early fall, renders it highly 

 valuable for both home and market planting. Price, 10c pkt., 35c. pt., 

 60c. qt., $2.20 for half peck.

DO NOT FAIL TO TRY 



The Most Remarkable Rean of the Century 



THE HODSON LONG POD WAX 

 so BUSH BEAN 



Enormous Plant. Enormous Pod. Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by 



Rust or Blight 



This distinct new type of bean is remarkable for its great size of plant and pod 

 and wonderful productiveness. It will outyield any other bush bean two to 

 one on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2^ feet 

 in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches 

 in length and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage sheltering the 

 pods from the hot sun renders them exceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked 

 before too old they are stringless, free from fibre and of fine table quality. 



This variety is remarkably free from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 

 blight or rnildew has ever appeared on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or 

 fields during the years we have been growing it — and the past season was 

 especially favorable for developing rust and blight on beans. The Hodson Long 

 Pod Wax comes in about two weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties, but for 

 main crop it is destined to become important for both the private table and 

 for market growers on account of its phenomenal vigor and productiveness. 

 The plants should be thinned out to at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 

 account of the great size of the plants. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

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



"/ had wonderful success with your seeds last year, one and all — but especially with your 

 Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans. They are wonderful. The finest I have ever grown."
