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. 



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.)

"For a thorough test I planted Henderson's Leviathan along- 

 side four other well-known varieties 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.", 

 Sept. 16. W. E. VAIL, Yorklown Heights. N. V. 



" Your Leviathan and Ideal Lima Beans have been thoroughly 

 tested by us and continue to give great satisfaction." 



W. L. I HALES, Fullerton, Col. 



" 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 BARROWS, Lake George, N. Y. 



" 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 us great 

 satisfaction." I. L. POWELL, 



Gardener to Samuel Thome, Esq., Millbrook, N, Y, 



"I thought you might like to hear of my continued 

 success with your Leviathan Lima Bean. It is simply 

 grand. I have planted other varieties, but so far have 

 found none equal to yours." 



EDWARD HOLLISTER, Avondale Ave 



The pods are amazingly 



"/ 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. GRAVES, Ausable Forks, N. Y. 



HENDERSON'S 



Pole Lima Bean Ideal 



THE BEST MAIN CROP LIMA GROWN 



Enormously Prolific Of Gigantic Size — Tenderness and Flavor Superb 



is another sterling variety of our own introduction, which 

 attains an enormous size, with a degree of productiveness which is extremely rare, 

 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. 

 "sot 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 polo varieties, 

 and continues to produce enormous crops of the best flavored Beans, right up to frost.

"I 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 Pt : : 

 Lima growers." FRED M. REIXHARDT, Gardener to Mrs. F. Cnmmings, It. Orange, N. J. 



"I wish to inform you of the results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Pole Lima Beans put 

 you last season. For some years I have made a specialty of Lima Beans and ha: 

 new offered by the different seedsmen. I have never found among any of them <:■■
