44 GOLDEN AGE (Henderson's) {See coior piate. Page 19) 



A Triumph of Horticultural Art. The Best Stringless 

 Wax Bean Extant 



We have named this supreme product of the horticultural art "Golden Age," 

 because we believe its advent is an achievement in the science of plant breeding. 

 Besides being absolutely stringless it is remarlcable 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.

50 HODSON LONG POD 



Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by Rust or Blight 



The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2 y^ 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 renders them exceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked before too old they 

 are stringless, 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 dur- 

 ing the years we have been growing it. {See illuslration.)

 free from rust and blight. {See illustration.)
