 A Flat, Green-Podded Stringless 

 Variety —Prolific and Continuous Bearer

 is very vigorous, almost immune from disease, 

 hardy, early and proHfic. It bears rich green 

 pods, of immense size, thiclc, broad, extra long, 

 very uniform in shape, solid, meaty and of high 

 quality, meltingly tender and having a deUcious 

 flavor exclusively their own. The pods are string- 

 less and entirely free from any tough, membrane- 

 ous lining when young, and this tender "snap 

 brittle" quality is retained even into maturity.

22 ''HENDERSON" STRINGLESS 



A Really Stringless, Round, Green-Podded 

 Bean, Tender and Meaty, Rust-Resisting 



This stringless bush bean, introduced by us in 1920, has been received 

 with great appreciation by our customers who grew it. Letters are 

 reaching us from all parts of the country from customers who com- 

 mend us for the beautiful appearance, absolute freedom from string 

 and fine quality. 



The "Henderson" Stringless Bush Bean is absolutely stringless 

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

 vine is upright, strong and healthy; about one and a half to two 

 feet in height, and bears a heavy crop of meaty, tender pods six to 

 seven inches in length, in about seven weeks from planting the seed. 

 The quality and flavor of the pods are 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. {See illustration.)
