GBEEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



THE MOST PROLIFIC DWARF, 

 GREEN-PODDED SNAP BEAN 



A very popular variety on account of its exceeding pro- 

 ductiveness. It is medium early and is also extensively 

 grown both in the north and south for a fall crop. The 

 plants are of healthy, robust growth, about 15 inches 

 high, of true branching bush growth. The pods are of 

 attractive appearance, round, long and slim, of light green 

 color, fleshy, solid and brittle, with but slight string and 

 of tender and mild flavor. This type of bean is the most 

 popular in the markets of the large cities, and it is also 

 extensively used for pickling. Our strain of Refugee is 

 very fine. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 

 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 



"Last spring I bought from you an order of seeds and we never 

 had so many beans as we had the past season.. The limas were 

 great and the green podded beans {Refugee) yielded all summer. 

 There never was a bit of rust on any of them."

Black Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red Valentine, and the 

 pod is fully one-third longer. In addition it has other valuable 

 points. The pods are extra long, round, straight and tender, and of 

 a beautiful softgreen color. It is also equally early, but has another 

 advantage in that it is more suitable for late planting. In a test of 

 the Extra Early Refugee, Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine and 

 Black Valentine, conducted in the fall, we found that Black Valentine- 

 was fully as useful as Extra Early Refugee, being equally as hardy 

 in every respect as the Refugee, while the beans were produced in 

 enormous quantities. For any purpose, or at any time of the year, 

 this bean will be found exceedingly valuable to all classes of growers. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., S3. 00, for 4 qts. 



"I claim that Henderson's Black Valentine Bean is the champion of all the 

 dwarf green-podded snap beans, for I have tested all the good varieties. The 

 Black Valentine is the best for both early and late planting and will stand wet, 

 cold weather It is of the finest quality, easy to. pick, and is the most productive 

 bean on the v.iarket today, but they must be gathered at the right time." '

Extra Early Refugee 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEW 



This variety is a decided improvement on the old Refugee or 

 1,000 to 1, as it is fully two weeks earlier. It has all the good 

 qualities of the old Refugee, being wonderfully productive. The 

 pods are of good form, very fleshy, free from string and very tender. 

 Almost certain to produce a crop, even in unfavorable seasons. 

 Should be in every garden. Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., 

 $3.00 for 4 qts. 



" Henderson's Early Refugee Beans are very fine and were loaded with blossoms 

 in four weeks' lime My peas, too, are very fine, and they will be ready to eat 

 on June 16fA (Sunday), five weeks and one day since planting, and that on 

 poor soil." GEORGE F. SCHROEDER,
