PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



Henderson's Bountiful Bean 



A FLAT, GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



Prolific and Continuous Bearer the First 

 in Spring — the Last in Fall Stringless, Tender 

 and of Delicious Flavor 



This superior variety, introduced by us, is a distinct 

 improvement in green Bush Beans and has become exceed- 

 ingly popular wherever known. The plant is remarkably 

 handsome and of thrifty growth, being practically rust and 

 mildew proof. It is very hardy, extremely early, very 

 prolific. 



The crowning merit of this grand Bush Bean is in the 

 rich green pods, which are of immense size, thick, broad, 

 extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty and of high 

 quality, meltingly tender and having a -delicious 'flavor 

 exclusively their own. Moreover, the pods are not only 

 stringless and entirely free from any tough, membranous 

 lining when young, but this tender "snap brittle" quality 

 is retained even into maturity. (See engraving.) 



Price, 50c. qt., $3.25 peck, $12.00 bush. 



Let the Consumers of your products know the joy of eating 

 Beans without strings by planting THE "HENDERSON" 



New Stringless Green Bush Bean 



Formerly sent out as No. 22 



A Really Stringless, Round, Green-Podded Bean, Tender and 



Meaty. Rust-Resisting. The Result of Five Years of 



Selection. 



This new bush bean, introduced by us, has been received with 

 great appreciation by our customers. Letters of praise are 

 reaching us from all parts of the country, but lack of space 

 prevents us from printing them. 



The "Henderson" New Stringless Bush Bean is absolutely 

 stringless, and is quite free from rust. The vine is upright, 

 strong and healthy; about one and a half to two feet in height, 

 and bears a heavy crop of meaty, tender pods six to seven inches 

 in length in about seven weeks from sowing the seed. The 

 quality and flavor of the pods is unexcelled, and retain their 

 color and flavor when canned just as if freshly picked from the 

 vine. We do not know of any other variety having ALL these 

 qualities; therefore we recommend it to our Market Gardener 

 Customers knowing that it will give the greatest satisfaction. 

 (See engraving.) Price, $1.00 qt., $5.50 peck, $20.00 bush. 



Henderson's Black Valentine Bean 



Ready for Picking in 45 Days From Planting 



In the South it is grown in enormous quantities for shipment 

 to the Northern Markets. In some respects it excels all other 

 varieties; there is none that bears so heavy a crop, and none 

 which presents a more salable appearance after long shipping. 

 It should be picked as soon as the Beans have attained their full 

 size, as they are liable to develop more string than some sorts. 

 Price, 45c. qt., $2.75 peck, $10.00 bush.
