Henderson's WAX^PODDED BUSH BEANS 



UNRIVALED WAX DWARF 



OK BUSH BEAN 



THE EARLIEST WAX-PODDED VARIETY GROWN 



SILVERY WAX PODS WITHOUT RUST 



SYMMETRICAL SHAPE ATTRACTIVE COLOR 



This is a comparatively new variety, but has come very rapidly into 

 general favor. It is in our opinion a decided acquisition. 



The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with large, almost 

 smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears an enormous crop of pods of 

 a most beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color. This color is main- 

 tained clear to the tips without any suggestion of green. The pods are 

 about six inches long and almost straight, but with the valuable charac- 

 teristic of curving slightly at the ends towards maturity, thus avoiding 

 contact with the ground, and preventing liability to rust and rot, also 

 preserving intact the natural beauty of the pod. 



It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. 

 We have found it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which alone 

 renders it extremely valuable. The color develops very early in the 

 growth of the pods, which remain tender for a long period. The flavor 

 is excellent, and both plant and pod are singularly free i : :m rust and 

 blight. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt. 



HENDERSON'S IMPROVED 



BLACK WAX BUSH BEAN 



TENDER CREAMY- YELLOW PODS 



FINE QUALITY 



One of the oldest varieties grown, which by constant selection has 

 been so greatly improved, that it compares favorably in every respect 

 with many of the newer sorts. The dwarf bushy plants bear a heavy 

 crop of pods, medium in length, quite round, slightly curved, very thick- 

 fleshed, and tender. 



It is quite early, and one of the most reliable sorts for general use. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt, $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.

THE HODSON LONG POD WAX 



= BUSH BEAN== 



PLANT TWICE THE SIZE OF ANY OTHER 



YIELDS AN ENORMOUS CROP 



This Bean is quite distinct from any other. None equals it in size of plant, vigor 

 of growth or productiveness. When picked young, as all Beans should be, it is 

 extremely tender, and of fine quality. 



It should be given at least twice as much room to grow as any other sort, owing 

 to its spreading and branching character. The pods are long, inclined to be flat, and 

 of an exquisite, pale, creamy-white color. Its chief characteristic is its enormous 

 cropping quality. It is no exaggeration to say that it yields twice as many pods as 

 any other sort. 



There is never any doubt about the crop, for in addition to its productiveness, 

 it is entirely free from any kind of disease, and is unaffected by adverse climatic 

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



"I picked Beans from July 1st to Sept. 1st off your Hodson Wax. They are unequalled — so large 

 and lender. I like them belter than any wax Bean 1 ever tried. " J. E. ADAMS, Topeka, Kan. 



" Your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans did well with me. A single planting bore continuously from 

 July until frost." Mrs. JAMES F. BURK, North Easlon, Mass. 



"We were delighted with your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans which gave splendid returns and were 

 thought the best Beans we ever ate." 



Miss ELIZA JORDAN, St. Michael. Barbadoes.
