Henderson's Early Black Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED DWARF BUSH BEAN 

 A GREAT FAVORITE BECAUSE OF ITS BLIGHT- RESISTING QUALITIES 



Very Hardy, Ready for Picking in 45 Days from Planting 



Henderson's Early Black Valentine is one of the most productive green-podded 

 sorts, and in certain respects it excels all other varieties, for there is none other that 

 bears so heavy a crop, and none that produces pods that will present such a saleable 

 appearance after travelling a long distance to the market. 



Henderson's Early Black Valentine should be picked as soon as the pods have 

 attained a marketable size to avoid the formation of string. The bushes are very 

 strong and vigorous and the pods are handsome, very dark green in color, nearly 

 round; one third longer and much straighter than Red Valentine. A large crop may 

 always be expected; and as it is a decidedly long distance shipper and also resists 

 blight, it is a great favorite with market gardeners. (See engraving). Price, qt. 

 76c, peck $5.50, bush. $20.00. 



King of the Earlies 



A heavy cropper and excellent shipper 

 A very desirable handsome appearing variety with long regular round pods of 

 light delicate green. Its chief value, however, lies in its dependable earliness and 

 in the large profitable crops which it produces. As a standard or catch crop it is[a 

 sure money maker. Price, qt. 75c, pk. $5.50, bush. $20.00. 



Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine 



America's Standard Green-podded Dwarf Snap Bean 

 This is one of the oldest American varieties. It has always been one of the 

 most popular sorts among market growers, but even more so of late years, because 

 of the greatly improved stocks, which have been maintained by constant, careful 

 selection. Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine is relied on by the most successful 

 market gardeners for an early crop. It is grown with the greatest ease, and com- 

 mands a ready sale in all markets. There is no variety that holds its color better,

Henderson's New 

 Bush Bean 



Tendergreen 



Bears a Profusion of Exquisitely Tender Green Pods — 

 Absolutely Stringless, Very Prolific 



Hybridization and selection of plants have in capable hands 

 produced many improvements upon nature, and for many years 

 our own efforts have been directed in part to the elimination 

 of "string" in bush beans. We offered to our friends the 

 "Henderson Stringless Bush Bean" in 1920, and it won instant 

 favor. In 1922 we first offered Tendergreen and it also was 

 received with great appreciation. Tendergreen is entirely 

 different in origin from its predecessor, but is just as free from 

 "string" and is an inviting tender green in color, hence the name. 



Tendergreen is a product of our own trial grounds, grown, 

 hybridized and selected under the eyes of our own experts. 

 Our aim is to offer these new productions to our customers 

 as quickly as possible. We have accumulated stock enough 

 to offer it this year in quarts, pecks and bushels, but orders 

 must be sent in early, as they will be filled in the order they 

 arrive. We advise early orders, as the stock is very limited. 

 Price, qt. $1.00, peck $5.50, bush. $20.00.
