HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS 



Famous the World Over for Three=Quarters of a Century 



We Make a Specialty of Select Strains for Market Gardeners and Truck Farmers 



HEND6RSON2 Black Valentine Bean. 



Ready for Picking in 45 Days From Planting. 



In the South it is grown in enormous quantities for shipment to the 

 Northern Markets. In some respects it excels all other varieties; there is 

 none that bears so heavy a crop, and none which presents a more salable 

 appearance after long shipping. It should be picked as soon as the Beans 

 have attained their full size, as they are liable to develop more string 

 than some sorts. 



Price, 50c. qt., S3. 70 peck, $14.00 bush. 



Refugee or 1000 to 1 Bean. 



The Best Dwarf Late, Green-podded Snap Bean 



A very popular market gardener's variety on account of its exceeding pro- 

 ductiveness. It is extensively grown for a fall crop in both the north and 

 south. The plants are strong, healthy, and robust, about 15 inches high, 

 branching and bushy in growth. This bean is the most popular of all in 

 the markets of large cities and is extensively used for pickling. Our 

 strain is very fine, and will be found free from flat pods. Price, 50c. 

 qt., $3.70 pk., $14.00 bush.

Henderson's Earliest 



Red Valentine Bean. 



America's Standard Green-podded Dwarf Snap Bean. 



This is one of the oldest American varieties. It has always been one 

 of the most popular sorts among market growers, but even more so of 

 late years, because of the greatly improved stocks, which have been 

 maintained by constant, careful selection. Henderson's Earliest Red 

 Valentine is relied on by the most successful market gardeners for an 

 early crop. It is grown with the greatest ease, and commands a ready 

 sale in all markets. There is no variety that holds its color better, none 

 which maintains its fresh appearance so well long after picking and it 

 is unsurpassed in tenderness and flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 50c. 

 qt., $3.70 pk., $14.00 bush. 



Unrivaled Wax Bush Bean 



The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown. 



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

 into general favor. 



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. The 

 pods are about six inches long and almost straight, but with the 

 valuable characteristic of curving slightly at the ends towards maturity, 

 thus avoiding contact with the ground, and preventing liability to rust and 

 rot. 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. {See engraving) Price, 50c. qt., 

 $3.70 pk., $14.00 bush. 



The Hodson 



LONG-POD 

 WAX 



Bush Bean. 



Enormous Plants. Enormous Pods. Enormous Yielder. 



This distinctive type of bean is remarkable for wonderful produc- 

 tiveness, outyielding any other bush bean two to one on a given area. 

 The sturdy plants often attain 2J^ feet in height, and bear great 

 quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length. 



This variety is particularly free from bean diseases, and comes 

 in about 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties. The plants 

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

 of their great size. Price, 45c. qt., $3.20 pk., $12.00 bush. 



UNRIVALED WAX BUSH BEAN.
