4 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK—WHOLESALE CATALOGUE 
HENDERSON’S IMPROVED 
BLACK WAX BUSH BEAN. 
An Extra Early Round-Podded Variety. 
This is a highly improved stock of the popular Black 
Wax. The plants are of robust habit, very compact 
and bushy, with ample foliage which completely shelters 
the pods from the effects of the sun, so that they are 
always of a uniform, waxy, yellow color. The pods are 
of good size, quite round, slightly curved, very solid, }! 
meaty and free from string; of excellent, tender quality. |, 
It is very prolific and one of the earliest wax-podded 
dwarf beans grown. It has a special value as a market 
variety, in the fact that it ‘“‘ stands up ’’ admirably and 
may always be relied on to present a good appearance 
in the crate. Our stock is grown only from the most }f 
carefully selected strains; the pods are longer and better 
colored than those of ordinary stocks, and will be found 
quite free from green or otherwise inferior pods. (See cut.) 
Price 30c. qt., $2.20 pk., $8.00, bush. 
HENDERSON'S EARLY LEVIATHAN. 
POLE LIMA BEAN. 
The Earliest Large Pole Lima 
Of Superior Quality. Immense Size. Wonderfully Productive. 
Leviathan is fully a week earlier than any other pole variety, 
therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be 
caught by early frosts. The plant is strong and takes to the 
poles more readily than any other sort. It is a prodigious crop- 
per, producing its pods in large clusters from base to top of pole, 
frequently from 5to 10 together. These are well filled with large 
fleshy Beans of excellent quality, pale green in color, and posses- 
sing in a superlative degree that rich, buttery flavor so highly 
esteemed by all. 
Price, 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush. 
““T had the Earliest Lima Beans on the. market in this Cily receiving 50c. a 
quart for them; they were raised from your seed of Early Leviathan." 
LOUIS R. SMITH, Takoma Park, D. C. 
HENDERSON'S NEW EARLY GIANT 
BUSH LIMA BEAN. 
True Bush Plants. Enormous Pods and Beans. 
Early Continuous and Prodigious Yielder. 
Early Giant is a true Bush Lima, but produces beans and pods 
equal in size and quality to the best of the pole varieties. 
It is a really remarkable variety, and assures to the grower a 
crop of the best possible Lima Beans, on a relatively small area, 
with the smallest amount of labor. The plants are about 18 in. | 
high, very strong, and bear a heavy crop of pods from 5 to 6 in. | 
long. These are filled with enormous beans, fully equal to those — 
of most of the pole varieties, and as good in quality as the best © 
of either class. (See cut.) 
It is the earliest large Lima grown, and ‘yields continuously | 
throughout the entire season. j 
Price 50c. qt., $3.50 pk., $12.00 bush.
