GREEN-PODDED 



(Continued) 



Henderson's Black Valentine 



GREEN ROUND-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 the 

 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, 10c pkt., 40c. pt., "5c. qt., $2.50 for half peck. 



Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED DWARF SNAP BEAN 

 Full, Round, Meaty Pod. Ttemains Long Fit for Use. 



16. This grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red Valen- 

 tine, as it is very much earlier, and remains 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 un- 

 surpassed tenderness when gathered young, when it is practically stringless. 

 It is the Standard Snap Bean, not only for the earliest, but for successive 

 plantings, bearing up to frost. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. pt^ 

 75c. qt., $2.50 for half peck.

GREEN ROUND-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



17. A very desirable handsome appearing variety with long regular round 

 pods of light delicate green. One of the earliest bush beans to come to 

 maturity. Price, 10c. pkt., 45c. pt., 85c. qt., $2.75 half peck. 



HENDERSON'S 



Extra Early Refugee 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 



13. 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 wonderfully 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.
