The "Henderson" New Stringless Bush Bean 



~ 



A Really Stringless, Round, Green-Podded Bean, 



Tender and Meaty, Rust-Resisting. The 



Result of Five Years of Selection 



22. This new bush bean, introduced by us three 

 years ago, has been received with great apprecia- 

 tion by our customers who grew it. Letters of 

 praise are reaching us from all parts of the country. 



The "Henderson" New Stringless Bush Beau is 

 absolutely stringless from the first to the last pick- 

 ing, and is quite free from rust. The vine is up- 

 right, 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 are 

 unexcelled, and even when canned 

 they retain their color and flavor 

 just as if freshly picked from the 

 vine. "We recommend it to our 

 customers, knowing that it will 

 give great satisfaction. Having 

 considerably increased our seed 

 stock of this desirable variety we 

 are able to offer it in larger quan- 

 tities this year. (See engraving.) 



Price, 20c. pkt., 90c. pt., $1.75 qt. 



Words of Praise 



" The success I had with'Stringless Beans 

 last year induces me to order seeds from you 

 again. They were great and absolutely 

 stringless."

" We grew Henderson's New Stringless 

 Bush Beans and found that they surpassed 

 all others. They are absolutely stringless as 

 you claim and Henderson's are to be con- 

 gratulated." Mrs. CLAREXCE F. GRAHAM.

 "I won 37 first prizes. 7 second prizes and 6 third prizes, with my 

 display vegetables grown from Henderson's seeds."

The Hodson Long Pod Wax 



Dwarf or Bush Bean 



Enormous Yielder. Never 

 Affected by Rust or Blight 



50. This distinct type of bean is 

 remarkable for its great size of 

 plant and pod and wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness. It will outyield any 

 other bush bean two to one on a 

 given area. The strong, sturdy 

 plants often attain dimensions 2% 

 feet in height, and bear great 

 quantities of long, meaty pods, 

 measuring 7 to 8 inches in length 

 and of a waxy cream-yellow color. 

 The ample foliage sheltering the 

 pods from the hot sun renders 

 them exceptionally tender, brittle, 

 and if picked before too old they 

 are stringless, free from fibre and 

 of fine table quality. 



This variety is remarkably free 

 from bean diseases. Net a trace of 

 rust, blight or -mildew has ever 

 appeared on a plant or pod in our 

 trial grounds or fields during the 

 years we have been growing it — 

 and the past season was especially 

 favorable for developing rust and 

 Might on beans. The Hodson Long 

 Pod Wax comes in about two 

 weeks after the earliest dwarf 

 varieties, but for main crop it is 

 destined to become important for 

 both the private table and for 

 market growers on account of its 

 phenomenal vigor and productive- 

 ness. The plants should be thinned 

 out to at least 6 inches apart in the 

 rows, i See engraving. ' Price, 10c.
