THE HODSON LONG POD 



WAX BUSH BEAN 



ENORMOUS PLANTS ENORMOUS PODS 



ENORMOUS Y1ELDERS = 



This distinct new type of Bean is remarkable for great 



'76 of plant and pod and wonderful productiveness. 



it will out-yield any other Bush Bean two to one 



on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often 



attain dimensions 2 feet in height, and bear 



great quantities of long, meaty yellow pods, 



measuring 7 to 8 inches in length. 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 quahty. 



The Hodson Wax Bush Bean comes in about 



1 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties, and 



J for main crop is destined to become impor- 



j tant for both the private table and for market 



growers on account of its phenomenal vigor 



and productiveness. The plants should be 



thinned out to at least 6 inches apart in the 



rows on account of their great size. This 



variety is absolutely immune from Bean 



diseases. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 



35c. qt., $1.25 for four qts., $2.00 pk. 



"7 picked Beans from July 1st to Sept. Isl off your Hodson 

 Wax. They are unequalled — 50 large and tender, I like them better 

 than any wax Bean I ever tried." 



J. E. ADAMS, Topeka. Kan. 



"Your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans did well with me. A single 

 planting bore continuously from July until frost. "

HENDERSON'S 



Golden Scimitar Wax Bush Bean 



THE PERFECTION OF CYLINDEK-PODDED DWARF WAX BEANS 



This new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean has attained the top 

 notch among Beans of this class. It has been so highly bred and 

 selected that it excels all others in its combination of essential 

 quaUties, among which are remarkable uniformity in size and 

 shape. It produces no culls, the pods average five to six inches 

 in lengfth, which is unusuall}^ large for a round-podded, wax 

 variety; they are very solid, meaty and tender, free from string, 

 breaking brittle, and the flavor is unsuipassed. These desirable 

 table qualities are retained well on towards maturity, long 

 after many other sorts have become too tough and stringy to use. 

 The plant is everything desirable, bushy and robust, free from 

 rust or mildew, and extremely prolific. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. 

 pt., 30c. qt., $1.00 for four qts., $1.75 pk. 



"The Golden Scimitar Wax Beans surpassed any other in beauty, crop and 

 quality." F. F. WALKER, South Sudbury, Mass. 



Improved Golden NA^ax Bush Bean 



THE STANDARD FLAT, WAX-PODDED. VARIETY 

 Among the Yellow Wax-podded or "Butter" Beans, the 

 Golden Wax has long been in popular favor, but this Improved 

 variety by far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable 

 points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy growth, not susceptible 

 to rust, moderately early and very prolific. The pods are ex- 

 ceedingly handsome, large, uniformly broad, thick and almost 

 all solid flesh, of good quality, tender and brittle, absolutely 

 without string or coarse fibre at all stages until maturity, while 

 the color is of a rich golden-yellow. Although not the earliest 

 dwarf wax Bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop of large 

 handsome pods, whether planted in spring, summer or early fall, 

 renders it highly valuable for both home and market planting. 

 {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.00 for foxir qts., 

 $1.75 pk. 



" Your Improved Golden Wax Beans are all you claim for them and more. 

 They are almost absolutely without strings, even after fully matured." 



W. M. McCREIGHT, Cheraw, S. C.
