VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES- 



The Hodson Long Pod 

 :: Wax Bush Bean, :: 



ENORMOUS PLANTS. ENORMOUS PODS. 

 ENORMOUS YIELDERS. 



These distinct new types of beans are re- 

 markable for great size of plant and pod and 

 wonderful productiveness. They will out- 

 yield any other bush bean two to one on 

 a given area. The strong, sturdy plants 

 often attain dimensions 2V feet in height, 

 and bear great quantities of long, meaty 

 pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length. 

 The ample foliage sheltering the pods from 

 the hot sun renders them exceptionally 

 tender, brittle, and if picked before too old 

 they are stringless, free from fibre and of 

 fine table quality. 



These varieties are absolutely immune 

 from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 

 blight or mildew has ever appeared on a 

 plant or pod in our trial grounds or fields 

 during the four years we have 1 >een growing 

 them. The Hodson Bush Beans come 

 in about 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf 

 varieties, and for main crops are destined 

 to become important for both the private 

 table and for market growers on account 

 of their phenomenal vigor and productive- 

 ness. The plants should be thinned out to 

 at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 

 account of their great size. (Sec cut.) Price,

The Hodson 



LONG GKEEN 

 POD 



Bush Bean. 



This variety is practically identical with the Hodson Long 

 Pod Wax described above — with the exception of the color of 

 the pods which are green instead of yellow. It has the same 

 vigor, length of pod, productiveness and other qualities which 



have already made the 

 Hodson Wax famous.

HENDERSON'S 



Golden Scimitar Wax Bush Bean. 



The Perfection of Cylinder-podded Dwarf Wax Beans. 



This new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean has attained the 

 top notch among beans of this class. It has been so highly bred 

 and selected that it excels all others in its combination of essen- 

 tial qualities, among which are remarkable uniformity in size and 

 shape. It produces no culls, the pods average five to six inches 

 in length, which is unusually large for a round-podded, wax 

 variety; they are very solid, meaty and tender, free from string, 

 breaking brittle, and "the flavor is unsurpassed. These desirable 

 table qualities are retained well on towards maturity, long after 

 many other sorts have become too tough and stringy to use. The 

 plant is everything desirable, bushy and robust, free from rust 

 or mildew, and extremely prolific. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 

 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. 



Improved Golden Wax Bush Bean. 



The Standard Flat, Wax-podded Variety. 



Among the Yellow Wax-podded or "Butter" Beans, the 



Golden Wax has long been in popular favor, but this Improved 



variety by far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable 



Hw. points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy growth, not 



5^^ susceptible to rust, moderately early and very prolific. 



The pods are exceedingly handsome, large, uniformly 



broad, thick and almost all solid flesh, of good 



quality, tender and brittle, absolutely without 



'^■(fe string or coarse fibre at all stages until matur- 



^** ¥t <_- In fry, while the color is of a rich golden-yellow. 



^^a^yJ' Although not the earliest dwarf wax bean, its 



reliability in producing a heavy crop of large 



handsome pods, whether sown in spring, 



summer or early fall, renders it highly 



aluable for both home and market 



planting. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 



. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., 



$7.00 bush. 



"Your Improved Golden Wax are 

 very fine snap beans; rank growers, 

 very prolific yielders and do not rust."
