 Podded 



BUSH BEAN 



Remarkably Early 

 Exceedingly Prolific 



An Extra Early, Round Green-Podded Bush Bean of Fine Qyality 

 Long, Round, Green Pods, Always Solid, Tender and of Delicious Flavor 

 This extra early variety, although comparatively new, has been pietty 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 6% inches long, wonderfully tender and 

 brittle, without a trace- of tough interlining, and having no string when broken, ex- 

 cepting when the pods are quite old. The flavor is most delicious, captivating the 

 most critical, 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, unex- 

 celled in bearing qualities, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the 

 pods being fit to pick four days in advance of any other variety of approximate size 

 and merit. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk. 



Last year I tried your Longfellow Bush Bean and think it the finest and altogether most satisfactory 

 Bush Bean I ever had during over thirty years' experience for pi ivate family use. I am so well satisfied 

 with it that I have no desire to try for a better. I think you will have several orders from persons who 

 have seen mine Mrs. BENJAMIN P. RENCH, Oberlin. Ohio. 



Last year I had your Longfellow Beans. I have never had the pleasure of growing such Beans as they 

 re. We have discarded all others and will use none but the Longfellow hereafter."

1 think there is no better Bean than your Longfellow." JOSEPH SCHOFF, Peoria. Ill 



"Gen'l Brown' s family have discarded every other Bean; the only Bean they will have on the table is 

 Longfellow. From four rows I have been gathering daily for three weeks in large quantities and 

 the vines are still bearing heavily. I am glad to endorse it; it is the best Bean I have grown in 

 twenty years' practice." A. M. McTOSH, Falmouth Foreside, Me.

Henderson's Earliest RED VALENTINE BEAN 



A Standard Green-Podded Dwarf Snap Bean. Full, round, meaty pods of unsurpassed tenderness and quality 

 Remains long fit for use. Yields prodigiously 



This grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red Valentine, which it has now entirely supplanted, 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 unsurpassed 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 cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.00 for 4 qts., $1.75 pk. 



"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-pinl of your Earliest Red Valentine Bush Beans we gathered 5\4, bushels of 

 pods, besides allowing some to mature for seed." JOHN B. BLACKIE, Alioona, Pa.
