1 BOUNTIFUL (Henderson's) 



A Flat, Green-Podded, Stringless Variety — 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 disease, hardy, early and prolific. It bears rich green pods, 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. The pods are stringless and en- 

 tirely free from any tough, membraneous 

 lining when young, and this tender "snap 

 brittle" quality is retained even into maturity.

 1920. has been received with great appreciation 

 by our customers who grew it. Letters are

 customers who commend us for its beautiful

 is absolutely stringless from the first to the 

 last picking and is quite free from rust. The 

 vine is upright, strong and healthy; about one

 the pods are unexcelled, 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.
