HENDERSON'S 



FULL MEASURE 



A STRINGLES3, ROUND GREEN-PODDED 

 BUSH BEAN 



The efforts of modern hybridizers in improving 

 the quality of garden Beans, have resulted in en- 

 tirely eliminating the objectionable string in 

 some varieties, and in greatly modifying it in 

 others. We have done more than our 

 share of this work, having been successful — ^ 

 in developing many varieties which have 

 taken a permanent place in the esteem of 

 careful growers. Full Measure is the re- 

 sult of a cross between our famous Yo- 

 semite Mammoth Wax and Refugee or 

 1,000 to 1 and inherits the good qualities 

 of both. It is a thoroughly bred string- 

 less variety of excellent quality. Pods 

 are 5 inches long, round podded, firm, but 

 tender, very meaty, and remain fit for use 

 many days after maturity. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., 

 $2.25 for 4 qts. 



" Your Full ileasure Beans surpass any I 

 ever planted and I have tried many kinds in my 

 40 years of gardening. 



J. P. RI TOS B, Charlotte, N. C. 



"I had your Longfellow and also the Bounti- 

 ful Bean last year and they were more Uian 

 satisfactory in every way." 



Mrs. ANNA R. CLIFFORD. 



Cleveland, Ohio. 



"I was so well pleased with your seeds last 

 year. Your Longfellow Bean should be called 'Everbear- 

 ing' as I picked beans all summer although it was so hot and 

 dry here that all other sorts were killed." 



Dr. LOUIS RUSH, Kirkwood, Mo. 



" Your 1,000 to 1 Beans are loaded with blossoms in 

 four weeks' time."

A. ROUND GREEN-PODDED 

 BUSH BEAN 



Extra Early, Fine Quality, and of Delicious Flavor 

 This extra early variety, although comparatively new, has been pretty widely dis- 

 tributed, 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 G 1 ^ 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 days before other varieties of approximate 

 size. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.25 for 4 qts. 



Refugee or 1,000 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



THE MOST-PROLIFIC rnYARF GREEN-PODDED SNAP BEAN 

 A very popular variety on account of its exceeding produc- 

 tiveness. It is medium early and is also extensively grown both 

 in the north and south for a fall crop. The plants are of healthy, 

 robust growth, about 15 inches high, of true branching bush 

 growth. The pods are of attractive appearance, round, long 

 and slim, of light green color, fleshy, solid and brittle, with but 

 slight string and of tender and mild flavor. This type of bean 

 is the most popular in the markets of the large cities, and it ia 

 also extensively used for pickling. Our strain of Refugee is very 

 fine. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt, $2.00 for 4 qts. 



"Last sprittg I bought from you an order of seeds and we never had 

 so many beans as we had the past season. The limas were great and 

 the green podded beans (.Refugee) yielded all summer. There never 

 was a bit of rust on any of them."
