Henderson's Golden Age 



A Triumph of Horticultural Art. Introduced by us in 1922. The Best 

 Stringless Wax Bean Extant 



A A We have named this supreme product of the horticultural art "Golden A|Je," 

 because we believe its advent means that the hybridizing- — and breeding of this 

 important vegetable — the Bush Bean — has now advanced so far on the road to perfec- 

 tion that it may take rank, even if in a lesser degree, with modern achievements in 

 other branches of human endeavor. String beans are detrimental both to the temper 

 and the digestion, and dieticians the world over will welcome the advent of "Golden 

 Ai£e** Bean, the best stringless wax bean ever introduced. 



Besides being absolutely stringless "Golden Atfe" Bean is remarkable for its' rust- 

 resisting and disease-resisting qualities. The plants are vigorous in growth, and bear 

 heavy crops of transparent, tender, golden waxy pods, delightful to the eye, and ready 

 to pick in 45 days from the planting of the seed. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 15c. ; 2 pkts. 25c. ; pt. 80c. ; qt. $1.50; transportation paid. 



Unrivalled Wax 



The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown. (Pods very attractive) 



CC It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. We have found 

 it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which alone renders it extremely 

 valuable. The color develops very early in the growth of the pods, which remain 

 tender for a long period. The flavor is excellent, and both plant and pod are free 

 from rust and blight. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 15c: pt. 50c; qt. 95c; 4 qts. 

 $3.25; peck $6.00; transportation paid. 



Sure Crop Stringless Wax 



Clear Amber Yellow Stringless Pods 



CC This variety is well adapted for market garden purposes because of its vigorous 

 growth, productiveness and hardiness. Pods are rich yellow, 6 to 7 inches long, 

 entirely stringless at all stages of development. Price, pkt. 10c. : pt. 50c ; qt. 95c ; 

 4 qts. $3.25; peck $6.00; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Improved Black Wax 



OC One of the oldest varieties grown, which by constant selection has been so greatly 

 improved that it compares favorably in every respect with many of the newer 

 sorts. Black Wax is very early, enormously productive and of fine quality, and one 

 of the most reliable sorts. Price, put. 10c : pt. 45c ; qt. 85c. ; 4 qts. $3.00; pecn $5.50; 

 transportation paid. 



Hodson Long Pod Wax 



Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by Rust or Blight 



CQ The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2 \i feet in height, and bear 

 *^ great quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length and of a 

 waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage sheltering the pods from the hot sun 

 ■enders them exceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked before too old they are string- 

 less, free from fibre and of fine table quality. 



This variety is remarkably free 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 

 years we have been growing it. Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 50c; qt. 95c; 4 qts. $3.25; peck 

 $6.00; transportation paid. 



Semesan, the new plant disinfectant, has proven very efficacious in controlling anthracnose of beans and other funtfous diseases
