Henderson’s 
Bountiful Bean 
A FLAT, GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 
A PROLIFIC AND CONTINUOUS BEARER 
THE FIRST IN SPRING—THE LAST IN FALL 
STRINGLESS, VERY TENDER, AND 
OF DELICIOUS FLAVOR 
T. This superior variety, introduced by us, is 4 
distinct improvement in green Bush Beans and 
has become exceedingly popular wherever known. 
Our customers who have grown it are enthusiastic 
in its praise: some of them say, ‘‘You do not praise 
it half enough.” The plant is remarkably hand- 
some and of thrifty growth, being practically rust 
and mildew proof. It is very hardy, extremely 
early, very prolific, and bears continuously for 
several weeks; it is the first to give pods fit to 
pick in the spring, and the last to yield edible 
pods in the fall!. 
But 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. 
We advise leaving a few of the older pods to be used as green 
shell Beans, in which condition they are most palatable. It is 
equally valuable as a dry shelled Bean. One of our customers 
writes us that she ‘‘finds it most excellent shelled for winter use, 
after it is ripe.’”’. (See engraving.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 85c. qt., $3.00 half peck. 
“T have planted Henderson's Bountiful Bean for four years, 
and will say that it is the best I have ever used. They are as 
early as the earliest and with proper care and cultivation will 
bear until frost kills them. Like your Ponderosa Tomato, 
T think they are the best in the world.” which I have grown in my garden.” : 
JAMES S. W HITE, Greenville, Ga. FRED CLARK, Arlington, N. J. 
“My garden is admired by all who see it. Everything is 
growing fine. A certain person asked me to get him some 
Bountiful Beans, as he has never seen anything like those

A ROUND, GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 
EXTRA EARLY, FINE QUALITY, AND OF 
DELICIOUS FLAVOR 
19. This extra early variety, although comparatively new, has 
been pretty widely distributed, and we have yet to hear anything 
but praise about its fine quality and other merits; it is in fact an 
ideal Snap Bean, producing a fine crop of round, straight, solid, 
fleshy pods averaging 61% inches long, wonderfully tender and 
brittle, without a trace of tough interlining, and having no string 
when broken, excepting when the pods are quite old. The flavor 
is most delicious, while the delicate green color of the pods is retained 
after cooking, adding to its attractiveness when served. The plants } 
are of robust, compact habit, unexcelled in bearing qualities, maturing | 
the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the pods being fit to pick four 
days before other varieties of approximate size. (See engraving.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. pt., 75c. qt., $2.50 half-peck.
