HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS 



BUSH BEANS- Continued. 



Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine 



America's Standard Green-podded Dwarf Snap Bean 



This is one of the oldest American varieties. It has always been one 

 of the most popular sorts among market growers, but even more so 

 of late years, because of the greatly improved stocks, which have 

 been maintained by constant, careful selection. Henderson's Earliest 

 Red Valentine is relied on by the most successful market gardeners 

 for an early crop. It is grown with the greatest ease, and commands 



a ready sale 

 in all mark- 

 ets. There 

 is no variety 

 that holds 

 its color bet- 

 ter, none 

 which main- 

 t ain s its 

 fresh ap- 

 pearance so 

 well long 

 after pick- 

 ing. (See en- 

 graving.)

WAKDWEI.L S KIDNEY WAX BEAN 



Wardwell's Kidney Wax 



Unrivaled Wax Bush 



The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown 



The plant is strong, dwarf, not too 

 strongly branching, with large, almost 

 smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears an 

 enormous crop of pods of a most beautiful 

 semi-transparent pale yellow color. The 

 pods are about six inches long and almost 

 straight, but with the valuable character- 

 istic of curving slightly at the ends towards 

 maturity, thus avoiding contact with the 

 ground, and preventing liability to rust and 

 rot. 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. Price, 60c. qt., $3.50 pk., $12.00 

 bush. 



The Hodson Long Pod 

 Wax Bush 



Enormous Pods — Enormous Yielder 



This distinctive type of bean is remark- 

 able for wonderful productiveness, out- 

 yielding any other bush bean two to one on 

 a given area. The sturdy plants often 

 attain 2 1 /£ feet in height, and bear great 

 quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 

 7 to 8 inches in length. 



This variety is particularly free from 

 bean diseases, and comes in about 2 weeks 

 after the earliest dwarf varieties. The 

 plants should be thinned out to at least 6 

 inches apart in the rows on account of their 

 great size. (See engraving.) Price, 60c. 

 qt., $3.50 pk., $12.00 bush. 



Hardy, Productive, Rust-Proof, Tender, Tasty Pods 

 Wardwell's Kidney wax is one of the best large podded wax Beans. 

 Very robust and hardy, producing a heavy crop of showy, broad, long, 

 flat, wax pods, not liable to rust or blister. Although not the earliest 

 dwarf wax Bean, its reliability, whether planted in spring, summer or 

 earlv fall, renders it highly valuable for market planting. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 60c. qt., $3.50 pk., $12.00 bush.
