HENDERSON'S 



"LONGFELLOW" BEAN. 



An Extra Early, Round Green- podded Bush Bean 

 of Fine Quality. 



Remarkably early. Exceedingly prolific. Long round green 

 pods, always solid, tender, and of delicious flavor. 



THIS extra early variety, although comparatively new, has 

 been pretty 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 inter- 

 lining, and having no string when broken, excepting 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, unexcelled 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., 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.50 bush. 



" It may interest you to know thai some Longfellow Beans purchased f'om you. 

 turned out magnificently, surprising myself and friends with their yield and splen- 

 did quality." D.A. NISBITT, Nyack, N. Y. 



"Your Longfellow Bean is the finest and most satisfactory bush bean for private 

 family use we have ever had in over thirty years of experience. We have no desire 

 to try for a better." Mrs. BEX J. P. REXCH, Oberlin, Ohio. 



"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 quantity, 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. 



"Last year I had Longfellow beans. I never had the pleasure of growing such 

 beans as they were. We have discarded all others and will use none but Hender- 

 son's Longfellow." H. E. M A RGU ART, Cincinnati, Ohio. 



"I think there is no better bean tlian the Longfellow ."

HENDERSON'S 



EARLIEST RED VALENTINE BEAN. 



America's standard GreervPodded Dwarf Snap Bean. Ready for picking in 45 days from planting. 

 Yields prodigiously. Full, round, meaty pods of unsurpassed tenderness and quality. — 



THIS grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red Valentine, 

 which it has now entirely supplanted, and is very much earlier; often ready 

 to pick in forty-five days from sowing. The healthy, vigorous plants are 

 usually hardy, successfully withstanding early frosts; it may therefore be planted 

 very early. This, with its quick development, makes it the earliest large-podded 

 variety, and on this account it is extensively grown by truckers over wide sections 

 of the country, though it is equall}' desirable for home gardens. 



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 practic- 

 ally 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., $1.50 pk., $5.25 bush. 



" Your Earliest Red \' alentines are such nice stock that I wish another busliel and a half of 

 them.' C. M. Berry. Orlando, Fla.
