Henderson's Leviathan 



THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA BEAN GROWN 



fiC Many growers prefer the pole varieties of Lima. These are, as a class, later than the bush 

 sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a difficulty in maturing the crop. In 

 Northern States, or where, by reason of continued cool night, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan 

 will be found admirably adapted. 



The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any other sort. It is fully a week 

 earlier than any other pole variety, therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would 

 be caught by frosts of early autumn. It is a prodigious cropper, producing its pods in large clusters 

 frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well filled with large, fleshy Beans, delicate, pale green 

 in color, and possessing in a superlative degree that rich, buttery flavor. (See illustration.) Price, 

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



Henderson's Ideal 



THE BEST MAIN CROP POLE LIMA GROWN 



Enormously Prolific — Of Gigantic Size — Tenderness and Flavor Superb 



QA This is another sterling variety of our own introduction. The vine does not differ materially 

 from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies in the size of the pods, which 

 hang in wonderful profusion on the vines. The average yield is greater than in any other variety. 

 Though a little later than our early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties, 

 and continues to produce enormous crops up to frost. Price, pkt. 15c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 4 qts. 

 $3.00; peck. $5.50; transportation paid.
