Henderson’s [eviathan — 
THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN - 
Abundantly Prolific Delicious Buttery Flavor : 
Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there are 
still many growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as a class 
later than the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a 
difficulty in maturing the crop. In Northern States, or where, by 
reason of continued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan 
will be found admirably adapted. 
The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any 
other sort. It is fully a week earlier than any other pole variety, 
therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be 
caught by frosts of early autumn. 
| Moreover, it is a prodigious 
cropper, producing its pods in 
large clusters from base to 
top of pole, frequently 
from 5 to 10 together. 
These are well-filled with 
large, fleshy Beans of 
excellent quality, delicate, pale green in color, and 
possessing in a superlative degree that rich, buttery 
flavor so highly esteemed by all. (See engraving.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 
“For a thorough test I planted Henderson’s Leviathan along- 
side four other well-known zarieties from other seedsmen. Levia- 
than matured seven days earlier than any of them. Its great value 
lies in its extreme earliness, excellent flavor and prodigious yield.”

HENDERSON’S 
Pole Lima Bean Ideal, 
THE BEST MAIN CROP LIMA GROWN 
Enormously Prolific Of Gigantic Size—Tenderness and Flavor Superb 
This is another sterling variety of our own introduction, which 
a attains an enormous size, with a degree of productiveness which is extremely rare. The pods are amazingly 
@ large, and are borne in great clusters. 
There is great satisfaction in producing such large pods, yet under ordinary conditions, anyone can do so, 
by planting Henderson’s Ideal. 
The vine does not differ materially from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies 
in the size of the pods, which hang in wonderful profusion on the vines. 
. Not only are the pods singularly large, but the average yield is greater than in any other variety, 
m™, Which, taken in conjunction with the great size of the individual beans, gives a net crop of really 
remarkable proportions. 
*%, Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties, 
“and continues to produce enormous crops of the best flavored Beans, right up to frost. (See 
e\ ergraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts..
