A 1919 NOVELTY 
THE “HENDERSON” 
NEW STRINGLESS 
ROUND GREEN PODDED 
BUSH BEAN 
A REALLY STRINGLESS BEAN, TENDER AND MEATY. 
THE RESULT OF FIVE YEARS OF SELECTION. 
The introduction of this new variety marks another step 
forward in the path the house of HENDERSON marked 
out for itself many years ago in the direction of improving 
what are, to the human race, the most important of all plants 
viz: edible vegetables. 
The ‘‘Henderson” New Stringless Bush Bean should have 
been inscribed on our Arch of Honor shown on the back 
cover of this catalogue, which illustrates the many contribu- 
tions to horticulture of the house of HENDERSON, but 
when the cover was printed we did not know that we would 
have enough seed to offer this year. The evolution of a new 
variety calls for years of patient effort, and also skillful 
hybridizing and selection on the part of those who essay 
the task; and when the final result is attained and the 
characteristics they have been working to establish and 
maintain become permanent, it is still found necessary to 
guard against losing the variety through a crop failure. 
This year we have only a very limited quantity for sale and 
we recommend that our customers order as early as possible 
before the supply is exhausted. 
The ‘‘Henderson’”’ New Stringless Bush Bean is a hand- 
some appearing plant producing a heavy crop of meaty suc- 
culent stringless pods of first class table quality. In fact 
garden beans such as these are a table delicacy and will be 
much enjoyed by all who prize tasty vegetable foods. The 
round meaty pods are from six to seven inches long, are rust 
resisting and also less corrugated in appearance than other 
varieties of this type. The pods are ready for picking in 
about seven weeks from sowing the seed. We are offering it 
this year in small packages fonly, so that all our friends may 
include a package in their order, and judge of its merits for | 
themselves. (See engraving.) Price 25c. pkt.
