The Three Best Stringless 

 Bush Beans 



Henderson's Famous 



BOUNTIFUL 



A Flat, Green-Podded Bush Bean 



A PROLIFIC AND CONTINUOUS BEARER 



Introduced by us thirty years ago. this superior 

 stringless bush bean is in greater demand to-day 

 than any other variety in cultivation. The plant is 

 very vigorous, almost immune from rust or disease, 

 hardy, early and prolific. But the crowning merit of 

 this grand Bush Bean is in the rich green pods, which are 

 of immense size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform in 

 shape, solid, meaty and of high quality, meltingly tender and 

 having a delicious flavor exclusively their own. Moreover, the 

 pods are not only stringless and entirely free from any tough, 

 membranous lining when young, but this tender "snap brittle" 

 quality is retained even into maturity. We advise leaving a few of 

 the older pods to be used as green shell Beans, in which condition they 

 are most palatable. It is equally valuable as a dry shelled Bean. One of 

 our customers writes us that -lie "finds it most excellent shelled for winter use, after it is ripe." See illus- 

 tration.) Price, pkt. 15c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation paid. 



The "Henderson" New Stringless 



' A Really Stringless, Round, Green-Podded Bean, Tender and Meaty, Rust-Resisting 



99 This stringless bush bean, introduced by us in 

 1920, has been received with great appreciation 

 by our customers who grew it. Letters of praise are 

 reaching us from all parts of the country. 



The "Henderson" New Stringless Bush Bean is 

 absolutely stringless from the first to the last picking, 

 and is quite free !roro rust. The vine is upright, strong 

 and healthy; aoout one and a half to two feet in height, 

 and bears a heavy crop of meaty, tender pods six to 



Henderson's jg-^ 



seven inches in length, in about seven weeks from sowing 

 the seed. The quality and flavor of the pods are un- 

 excelled, and even when canned they retain their color 

 and flavor just as if freshly picked from the vine. We 

 recommend it to our customers, knowing that it will 

 give great satisfaction. (See illustration.)
