HENDERSON'S 



Black Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red 

 Valentine, and the pod is fully one-third longer. 

 In addition it has other valuable points. The pods 

 are extra long, round, straight and tender, and 

 of a beautiful soft green color. It is also equally 

 early, but has another advantage in that it is 

 more suitable for late planting. In a test of the 

 Extra Early Refugee, Henderson's Earliest Red 

 Valentine and Black Valentine, conducted in the 

 fall, we found that Black Valentine was fully as 

 useful as Extra Early Refugee, being equally as 

 hardy in every respect as the Refugee, while the 

 beans were produced in enormous quantities. 

 For any purpose, or at any time of the year, this 

 bean will be found exceedingly valuable to all 

 classes of growers. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.25 for 4 qts. 



"/ claim that Henderson's BlackValentine Bean is the 

 champion of all the dwarf green-podded snap beans, for 

 I have tested all the good 

 varieties. The Black Valen- 

 tine is the best for both early 

 and late planting and will 

 stand wet, cold weather. It 

 is of the finest quality, easy to 

 pick, and is the most pro- 

 ductive bean on the market 

 today, but they must be gath- 

 ered at the right lime." 

 S. E. THURSTON, 

 New Canaan, Conn. 

 "The 'Country Gentleman' 

 collection of vegetable seeds 

 were all first class, and even 

 better than any seed I ever 

 planted."

HENDERSON'S 



Earliest Red Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED DWARF SNAP BEAN 



Full, Round, Meaty Pod. Remains Long Fit for Use. 

 This grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red 

 Valentine, as it is very much earlier, and remains fit for use for a 

 long time. The healthy, vigorous plants are unusually hardy, suc- 

 cessfully withstanding early frosts; it may therefore be planted very 

 early. It will always yield a large crop of handsome, long, round, 

 fleshy pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness 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. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 for 4 qts. 

 " Your Earliest Red Valentine Beans are the best I ever raised. I have 

 had Beans from nine different seedsmen, but none equal Henderson's." 



R. D. MILLER, Gainesville, Ga. 

 "From half-a-pint of Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine Bush Beans 

 we gathered 5!^ bushels of pods." 



JOHN B. BLACKIE, Alloona, Pa. 

 "I prefer Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine Bush Beans to any other 

 I ever used." MISS SALLI E T HOMAS, 



2001 Terrace, Place, Nashville, Tenn. 



"Our vegetables grown from Henderson's seeds were more abundant and 

 better than I have ever seen them. We only planted our bush beans for table 

 use, but they were abundant — we had to sell part of them." 



MISS SARAH HUDNALL, Lynchburg, Va. 



"We have been having for some time all the siring beans we could use, 

 while those of our neighbors are just in blossom." 



Mrs. WM. LEIGH TON, Concord, N. H. 



HENDERSON'S 



Extra Early Refugee 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



^X This variety is a decided improvement on the 



old Refugee or 1,000 to 1, as it is fully two weeks 



earlier. It has all the good qualities of the old 



1^ Refugee, being wonderfully productive. The pods 



are of good form, very fleshy, free from 



string and very tender. Almost certain 



to produce a crop even in unfavorable 



seasons. Should be in every garden. (See 



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



$2.25 for 4 qts. 



" Henderson's Early Refugee Beans are very fine and were 



loaded with blossoms in four weeks' time. My peas, too, 



are very fine, and they will 



be ready to eat on June \6lh 



(Sunday) , five weeks and 



one day since planting, 



and that on poor soil."

Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
