DO NOT FAIL TO TRY 



The Most Remarkable Rean of the Century 



The Hodson Long Pod 



WAX BUSH BEAN 



ENORMOUS PLANT. ENORMOUS POD. ENORMOUS YIELDER. 

 NEVER AFFECTED BY RUST OR BLIGHT. 



This distinct new type of bean is remarkable for its great size of plant and 

 pod and wonderful productiveness. It will outyield any other bush bean two 

 to one on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2J^ 

 feet in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 

 inches in length and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage shelter- 

 ing the pods from the hot sun renders them exceptionally tender, brittle, and if 

 picked before too old they are stringless, free from fibre and of fine table quality. 



This variety is absolutely immune from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 

 blight or mildew has ever appeared on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or 

 fields during the years we have been growing it — and the past season was 

 especially favorable for developing rust and blight on beans. The Hodson 

 Long Pod Wax comes in about two weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties, but 

 for main crop it is destined to become important for both the private table and 

 for market growers on account of its phenomenal vigor and productiveness. 

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

 account of the great size of the plants. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 

 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $1.85 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck. 



"The Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans I bought from you in May were very satisfactory. 

 They are still yielding abundantly." HERM.AN J. K N .A UT, 



July 25, 1915. 14 Sterling Street, Woodhaven, TV. }'. 



"7 picked Beayts from July 1st to September \st off your Hodson Wax. They are u 

 equalled — so large and tender. I like them better than any wax Bean I ever tried." 



J. E. AD.AMS, Topeka, Kan. 



" Your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans did well with me. A single planting bore 

 continuously from July until frost." 



Mrs. JAMES F. BURK, North Easton, Mass. 



Improved Golden Wax bean 



The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety 



Among the Yellow Wax-podded or "Butter" Beans, the Golden 

 Wax has long been in popular favor, but this Improved variety by 

 far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable points. The plants , 

 are of vigorous, bushy growth, not susceptible to rust, moderately r 

 early, and very prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, long, 

 thick, fleshy, tender and brittle, without string or coarse fibre at all stages 

 until maturity, while the color is of a rich golden-yellow. Although not the 

 earliest Dwarf Wax Bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop, whether 

 planted in spring, summer or early fall, renders it highly valuable for both 

 borne and market planting. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 

 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck 



"Am inclosing order for seeds, and can 

 say that last year's trial of your seeds gave us 

 the best garden in the neighborhood. The 

 Improved Golden Wax Beans grew to eight 

 and nine inches in length, and were wonder- 

 fully sweet and lender." 



Mrs. GEORGE DE VRIES, 



Milwaukee, Wis. 



" Your Improved Golden Wax Beans are 

 all you claim for them and more. They are 

 almost absolutely without strings, even after 

 fully matured."

HENDERSON'S IMPROVED 



Black Wax 



DWARF OR RUSH REAN 



One of the oldest varieties grown, 

 which by constant selection has been 

 so greatly improved, that it compares 

 favorably in every respect with many 

 of the newer sorts. The dwarf bushy 

 plants bear a heavy crop of pods, 

 medium in length, quite round, slight- 

 ly curved, very thick-fleshed, and 

 tender. It is quite early, and one of 

 the most reliable sorts for general use. 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., 

 $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 



..V Unrivaled Wax 



DWARF OR BUSH BEAN 



The Earliest Wa\-Podded Variety Grown , 

 See Colored Plate and Description, page 8. 

 It bears an enormous crop of pods of 

 a most beautiful semi-transparent pale 

 yellow color. This color is maintained 

 clear to the tips without any suggestion 

 of green. The pods are about 6 inches 

 long and almost straight. It is the 

 earliest Wax Bean within our knowl- 

 edge. We have found it two days 

 earlier than any other in our trials, 

 which alone renders it extremely 

 valuable. Price, 15c. pkt., 35c. pt., 

 60c. qt. 



"There is no doubt that your Unrivaled 

 Wax Beans are unrivaled. I bought two 

 pecks last spring and gathered beans from 

 July until October off the vines. I canned 25 

 quarts, sold and gave a good many away, and 

 supplied the table for a family of six during 

 the entire season." Mrs. C. M. LIGHT, 

 March 24, 1915. Liberal. Kan. 



"From one pint of your Unrivaled Wax 

 Beans I was able to pick three bushels." 



Miss MARY MAU RATHER, 

 539 Baltimore Street, 

 October 12, 1914. Hanover, Pa. 



" Your Unrivaled Wax Beans were the 

 best and most productive beans we ever grew, 

 and the nicest flavor."
