Henderson's Leviathan 



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. More- 

 over, 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 ex- 

 cellent quality, delicate, pale 

 green in color, and possessing in 

 a superlative degree that rich, 

 buttery flavor so highly esteemed 

 by all. {See engraving.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.40 

 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck. 



"We had most remarkable luck 

 with your garden seeds. The 

 Limas do great here. I picked 12 

 bushels of pods from 4 quarts of 

 seed last year." 



H. W. B.A.RROWS. 

 March 30, 1915. Lake George. N. 



" Your Early Leviathan Pole Lima has done better 

 than any of three other varieties grown by me; the season 

 has been cold and wet. but the Leviathan Limas have 

 given tis great satisfaction." 



1. L. POWELL, Gardener to Samuel Thome, Esq.,

Henderson's 



"/ thought you might like to hear of my continued 

 success with your Leviathan Lima Bean. It is simply grand, 

 other varieties, but so far have found none equal to yours." 



EDWARD HOLLISTER, Avondale Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 



"I have raised your Leviathan Lima Beans this season and can hardly word my 

 praise for them. The Beans were fit for the table by the middle of August and 

 were very fine and productive." Mrs. E. H. J. GRA V ES, Ausable Forks, N. Y.

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 

 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, any one 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, 

 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 

 engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.50 for 4 qts., $2.75 peck. 



"7 feel so proud of the Ideal Lima, that I want to thank you for my success. I entered 40 pods with five 

 and six Beans to the pod at the New Jersey Horticultural Show at Orange and received First Prize against 

 six other Lima growers." FRED M. REINH ARDT, Gardener to Mrs. F. Cummings, W. Orange, N.J. 



"7 wish to inform you of the results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Pole Lima Beans purchased 

 from you last season. For some years I have made a specialty of Lima Beans, and have purchased every- 

 thing new offered by the different seedsmen, I have never found among any of them anything to compare 

 with the Ideal for size, yield and quality." F. S. WHITE, St. Louis, Mo,
