ENDERSON'S 



EARLY LEVIATHAN. 



POLE LIMA BEAN. 



The Earliest Large Pole Lima 

 Of Superoir 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 cropper, producing its pods in 

 large clusters from base to top of pole, frequently from 

 5 to 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 exteemed by all. 



Price, 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bushel. 



" / had the Earliest Lima Beans on the market in this City receiving bOc. a 

 quart for them; they were raised from your seed of Earlv Leviathan."

IMPROVED 



'Henderson" Bush Lima Beans. 



Yields Continuously From Early Summer to Frost — 

 Suitable For All Sections, North and South. 



The original Bush Lima Bean, the " Henderson," was defec- 

 tive in size, and though, because of its extreme eariiness, thous- 

 ands of our customers were enabled to grow Lima Beans where 

 none had grown before, the defect remained until the introduc- 

 tion of the Improved "Henderson," which is at least 50 per cent, 

 larger than the original. Though a day or two later, it is still 

 10 days earlier than other bush forms, and weeks earlier than any 

 of the pole varieties, yet retaining all the remarkable qualities 

 of its predecessor, which was, without doubt, the most remarkabc 

 vegetable novelty of the last century. 



The Improved "Henderson" is a perfect allround variety. 

 It grows as freely and is just as dependable in the North as in 

 the South. In fact, it is the only one suitable for all sections. 

 The quality is excellent, possessing the rich, buttery flavor 

 common to all Limas. (See engraving.) 



Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 per bush. 



"For your satisfaction let me 



say that I planted Henderson's 

 Improved Bush Lima Beans 

 alongside of seed received from 

 other firms, and it beats them 

 both for eariiness and pro- 

 ductiveness."

HENDERSON'S 



Pole Lima 

 Bean 



IDEAL. 



The Best Main Crop Lima Grown — Enormously Prolific — Of Gigantic Size 

 — Tenderness and Flavor Superb. 



This is another sterling variety of our own introduction, which 

 attains an enormous size, with a degree of productiveness 

 which is extremely rare. The pods are amazingly large, and 

 borne in great clusters. There is great satisfaction in pro- 

 ducing such large pods, yet under ordinary conditions, any 

 one can do so, by planting Henderson's ideal. 



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, 

 which, taken in conjunction with the great size of the in- 

 dividual Beans, gives a net crop of remarkable proportions. 



Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it is just 

 as early as the ordinary pole varieties, and continues to pro- 

 duce enormous crops of the best-flavored Beans, right up 

 to frost. Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 peck, $8.00 bushel.
