16 From PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 
Henderson’s 
Black Valentine 
GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 
4. 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 soft green 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, 10¢e. pkt., 40e. 
pt., 75e. qt., $2.50 for half peck.

Henderson’s : 
Earliest Red Valentine 
GREEN-PODDED DWARF SNAP BEAN 
Full, Round, Meaty Pod. Remains Long Fit For Use. 
16. This grand variety is a great improvement over the! 
original Red Valentine, as it is very much earlier, and re- | 
mains fit for use for a long time. The healthy, vigorous/ 
plants are unusually hardy, successfully withstanding | 
early frosts; it may therefore be planted very early. It} 
will always yield a large crop of handsome, long, round, | 
fleshy pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tender- | 
ness when gathered young, when it is practically string- | 
less. It is the Standard Snap Bean, not only for the} 
earliest, but for successive plantings, bearing up to frost. | 
Price, 10c. pkt., 40¢. pt., 75e. qt., $2.50 for half peck. 
“Your Earliest Red Valentine Beans are the best I ever raised. I have | 
had Beans from nine different seedsmen, but none equal Henderson’s.” 
R. D. MILLER, Gainesville, Ga. | 
“From half-a-pint of Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine Bush Beans | 
we gathered 514 bushels of pods.” | 
JOHN B. BLACKTE, Altoona. Pa. ||: 
“T prefer Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine Bush Beans to any other | 
I ever used.”

Henderson’s Extra Early Refugee 
GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 
138. 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 won- 
derfully 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. (See engraving.) Price, 10e. pkt., 40e. pt., 
Zoe. qt., $2.50 for half peck. 
“Henderson's Early Refugee Beans are very fine and were loaded with 
blossoms in four weeks’ time. My peas, too, are very fine, and they wiil 
be ready to eat on June 16th (Sunday), five weeks and one day since 
planting, and that on poor soil.” : 
G. F. SCHROEDER, Wilkes-Barre. Pa.
