OLD HOMESTEAD BEAN, 



OR IMPROVED KENTUCKY WONDEFk. 



A Green-podded Snap Pole Bean, Wonderfully Productive from July until Frost. 

 Large, Thick, Stringless Pods, Meaty, Tender and Delicious. 



This best and most popular green-podded snap pole bean is a marvel of continued 

 productiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green pole bean. First pick- 

 ings may be made in this latitude early in July, and if the pods are gathered as they 

 become ready for "snaps, "the vine will._continue to produce in great abundance 

 untiL,killed by frost. 



The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be 

 gathered by the handful ; the pods are very large, 8 to 10 inches in length, entirely 

 stringless, plump, round and almost "solid meat," cooking meltingly tender and of 

 superb flavor. 



We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in the 

 Union, and those who report on them invariablv do so in most flattering terms. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 pk. 



"I must say a word in praise of Old Homestead Beans. They came into bearing just after our first 

 planting of bush beans had passed and such beans. We picked from that time until frost killed the vines. 

 The quality as well as quantity, is all that can be desired." Mrs. E. S. ROOT, Westfield, Mass. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY LEVIATHAN 



POLE LIMA BEAN. 



Superior Quality. Extremely Early. Immense Size. Wonderfully Productive. 



This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the length of season 

 required to mature it, the early frosts coming on as the crop is ready to pick. Levia- 

 than is one week earlier than any large Pole Lima yet offered and two weeks earlier 

 than most, consequently it will prove a boon to thousands of growers. We cannot 

 praise too highly the splendid quality and enormous productiveness of this peerless 

 variety. The pods grow in large clusters — we have frequently seen from 5 to 10 

 in a cluster, — and they are always well filled with the most delicious beans of 

 beautiful green color. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 pk. 



"7 want to tell you about our 

 Leviathan Lima Beans. We 

 planted them May 1st and picked 

 our first July 15th and liave been 

 gathering them right along since." 

 M. M. POWERS, 

 Pennsville, N. J. 



"Last spring I procured what was 

 claimed to be early strains of Pole 

 Lima Beans from four seed houses 

 and tested them along with your 

 Early Leviathan, yours gave fine 

 large beans for the table a week 

 earlier than the Jersey Extra Early, 

 and 10 days earlier than any other 

 large White Pole Lima. As a gen- 

 eral thing, the large White Limas 

 will, not ripen in this cold climate; 

 with Leviathan there will be no 

 trouble. I can but congratulate you 

 on its introduction."

IDEAL 



HENDERSON'S 

 NEW POLE LIMA BEAN, 



THE BEST MAINUCROP LIMA GROWN. 



Enormously Prolific. Beans of Gigantic Size. Quality, Tenderness and Flavor Superb. 

 Henderson's Ideal Lima is not extra early, but it matures a tremen- 

 dous crop before frost in the vicinity of New York. The merits of 

 this variety are enormous size of pod and bean, productiveness and 

 quality. It produces the largest Limas we have seen; five to seven 

 of these big, fat buttery beans are borne in pods 6 to 8 inches long; these 

 pods are produced in large clusters, those at the bottom of the plant ma- 

 turing early in the season, followed in succession by the upper clusters, 

 those at the top of the pole coming in before frost. The plant is of rugged 

 constitution, which carries it through wet spells without injury. The 

 superb quality, tenderness and rich flavor, combined with gigantic 

 size of bean and productiveness, render Henderson's IDEAL the peer 

 of anv Lima grown for use either green or cured. Price 15c. pkt., 

 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $2.75 pk. 



"I wish to inform you of live results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Limas. For some 

 years I have been making a specialty of growing pole limas and Itave bought nearly every >:t~it> 

 variety offered by the different seedsmen; but we have never found any to compare with the Ideal 

 for size, yield and quality. " F. S. WHITE, St. Louis, I
