ars our own efforts have been directed: in part to the 
mination of “String” in bush beans. We offered to our 
ends the “Henderson Stringless Bush Bean” in 1920, which 
‘won instant favor, and in 1922 we had the great pleasure in 
offering another of entirely different origin which we named 
Uae eee eee that word expresses its most marked 
grown, 
idized and selected under our own eyes. We want to place 
e new introductions on the tables of our customers as 
kKkly as possible so that they may continue, as we said 
en first offering this variety—“to know the joy of eating 
ans without. strings.” We have accumulated stock enough 
offer it this year in packets, pints and quarts, but orders 
aust be sent in early, as they will be filled in the order

47. Among the Yellow Wax-Podded or “Butter” Beans, 
the Golden Wax has long been in popular favor, but this 
Improved variety by far surpasses the old favorite in 
‘Several desirable points. The plants are of vigorous, 
‘bushy growth, not susceptible to rust, moderately early, 
: nd very prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, 
long, thick, fleshy, tender and brittle, without string or 
- coarse fibre at all stages until maturity, while the color is 
of a rich golden-yellow. Although not the earliest Dwarf 
Wax Bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop, 
- whether planted in spring, summer or early fall, renders 
z it highly valuable for both home and market planting.

New Beet Oval Gem 
Offered for the First Time in 1925 
(Fllustrated on Colored Plate opposite) 
931. HENDERSON’S OVAL GEM BEET is destined to be- 
come the most popular of all table beets on account of its 
attractive appearance and superior table quality. 
Up to the advent of this new variety, beets have not at- - 
tained the popularity and place on the dinner table that their 
food value should merit for them. Authorities commend them 
most highly for their vitamin content as well as for their 
rich mineral and tonic properties. 
The new OVAL GEM BEET is distinct in appearance from 
all other varieties. Itisovalin shape, slightly receding toward 
the base; it is extremely smooth and uniform, medium in 
size—just the right size for the home garden as well as for 
making an attractive bunch for marketing. The foliage is 
small and refined, bronzy green in color. The beets are dark 
red, slightly ringed; when cooked (which by the way requires 
less time than the ordinary sorts), the rings disappear com- 
pletely, turning the entire beet to the color of a rich glowing 
ruby. When sliced or squared, the pieces have a certain 
translucent appearance which bespeak a melting tenderness 
and an entire absence of fibre. The OVAL GEM BEET pos- 
sesses a delightful sweet flavor, which does not ecloy, but on 
the contrary is enticing to the palate. Price, 20¢. pkt., 3 pkts. 
50¢., 75¢. 0Z., $2.00 VY Ib. 
“We moved from New York City, but before we left we called down to 
your store and bought a box of vegetable and flower seeds which we planted 
last year. Though novices, we followed directions in Garden Guide and were 
very successful. Everything came up fine and all the people around admired 
both the vegetables and flowers I raised.’
