 GROWN 



Henderson s Leviathan 



THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN 



ABUNDANTLY PKOLIFIC - - - DELICIOUS BUTTERY FLAVOR 



Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there are still 

 many growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as a class, later 

 than the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a difficulty 

 in maturing the crop. In Northern States, or where, by reason of con- 

 tinued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan will be found ad 

 mirably adapted. 



The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any other 

 sort. It is fully a week earlier than 

 any other pole variety, therefore 

 can be grown successfully where 

 other sorts would be caught 

 by frosts of early autumn. 

 Moreover, it is a prodigious 

 cropper, producing its pods 

 in large clusters from base 

 to top of pole, frequently from 5 

 to 10 together. These are well-filled 

 with large, fleshy Beans of excellent 

 quality, delicate, pale green in color, 

 and possessing in a superlative de- 

 gree that rich, buttery flavor so 

 highly esteemed by all. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 

 $1.40 for 4 qts., $2.50 pk. 



"All the seeds you have sent me have come 

 up with the usual astonishing rapidity, 

 the Early Leviathan Pole Lima Bean 

 beating- the record. They were sown a 

 week ago last Saturday, and the following 

 Thursday were above ground." 

 Mrs. LOUISE C. WALKER, 



Eden Valley, N. Y. 



"I am more enthusiastic than ever about your Early 

 Pole Lima Bean. It has proven a bonanza to the northt 



^t 



Leviathan 

 northern planter 

 where the Lima season is short, as its earliness and unusual produc- 

 tiveness assure a sure crop." 



W. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 1 

 " Your Early Leviathan Pole Lima has done better than any of 

 three other varieties grown by me; the season has been cold and 

 but the Leviathan Limas have given us great satisfaction." 

 I. L. POWELL, Gardener to Samuel Thome, Esq., 

 Millbrook, N. Y. 

 "I thought you might like to hear of my continued success with your Leviathan Lima 

 Bean. It is simply grand. I have planted other varieties, but so far have found none 

 equal to yours." EDWARD HOLLESTER, Avondale Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 



"I have raised your Leviathan Lima Beans this season and can hardly word my praise 

 for them. The Beans were fit for the table by the middle of August and were very fine 

 and productive." Mrs. E. H. J. GRAVES, Ausable Forks, N. Y. 



Henderson's ^IaVT Ideal 



THE BEST MAIN CROP LIMA GROWN-ENORMOUSLY PROLIFIC 

 OF GIGANTIC SIZE TENDERNESS AND FLAVOR SUPERB 



This is another sterling variety of our own introduction, which attains an enormous size, with a degree of 

 productiveness which is extremely rare. The pods are amazingly large, and are borne in great clusters. 

 There is great satisfaction in producing such large pods, yet, under ordinary conditions, any one can do 

 so, by planting Henderson's Ideal. 



The vine does not differ materially from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies 

 in the size of the pods, which hang in wonderful profusion on the vines. 

 Not only are the pods singularly large, but -the average yield is greater than in any other variety, 

 which, taken in conjunction with the great size of the individual Beans, gives a net crop of really 

 remarkable proportions. 

 Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties, 

 and continues to produce enormous crops of 'the best-flavored Beans, right up to frost. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.50 for 4 qts., $2.75 pk. 



" I feel so proud of the Ideal Lima, that I want to thank you for my success. I entered 40 pods with five and 

 six Beans to the pod at the New Jersey Horticultural Show at Orange and received First Prize against six other 

 Lima growers." FRED M. REINHARDT, Gardener to Mrs. F. Cummings, W. Orange, N. J. 



"I wish to inform you of the results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Pole Lima Beans purchased from you 

 last season. For some years I have made a specialty of Lima Beans and have purchased everything new offered 

 by the different seedsmen. I have never found among any of them anything to compare with the Ideal for size, 

 yield ana quality." F. S. WHITE, St. Louis, Mo.
