EXPERIENCED GROWERS PKAISE 

 HENDERSON'S LIMA BEANS. 



"For some years 1 have made a spec- 

 ialty of growing Pole Lima Beans, 

 and have bought everything offered by 

 the different seedsmen of the country, 

 I have never found anything to 

 compare with Henderson's Lima 

 fnr size, yield and quality. At tht 

 rate my last year's crop yielded, I 

 believe I can easily produce thrtt 

 hundred dollars worth on one acre of 

 land.^F. S.WHITE. St. Louis.Mo. 



"I am more eyithusiastic now about 

 Henderson's Leviathan Bean than 

 on its iyitroduction. It has proven a 

 bonanza to northern planters, where 

 the Lima season is short, as its earli- 

 ness and productiveness assure a 

 safe and sure crop," — W. E. VAIL, 

 i'orktown Heights, N. Y. 



HENDERSONS 



EARLY LEVIATHAN POLE LIMA BEAN. 



Very Early. Surest and Biggest Cropper. 



Where poles can be procured, the Pole Limas are preferable 

 in many respects. Leviathan is very early. It produces an 

 enormous crop. The pods are away above the average in size, 

 and shell out large, both in. size, and number of beans. It is 

 most attractive in color, and delicious in flavor. Price, 30c. qt., 

 $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush. 



NEW EARLY 



HENDERSON'S 



GIANT BUSH 



LIMA BEAN. 



A True Bush Plant, Producing Pods as Large as the Pole Varieties. 

 This, the largest and best of its class, is a very early stock of 

 the broad, flat-seeded Lima, growing in true bush form. Its 

 first crop comes very early, and it continues bearing till frost. 

 The pods average five inches in length, and contain usually four 

 j beans of ample size and delicious quality. (See cut.) Price, 

 J 50c. qt., $3.50 pk., $12.00 bush.

HENDERSON'S BEST BEETS 



For Market Gardeners 



CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET. 



One of the best for the first open ground crop. The tops are 

 medium in size, the root round and slightly flattened. The flesh 

 is strongly marked in two shades of red. It bunches_ well, and is 

 of good quality. This variety produces a proportion of pale-fleshed 

 roots. These have lighter-colored tops and mav be taken out when 

 thinning. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., 81.00 lb. 



H ENDERSON'S EXTRA EARLY ELECTRIC BEET. 



With the utmost confidence we urge the use of Electric for earliest 

 crops, it is not only early, but superior in every respect. The short, 

 slender tops grow so erect, that it takes less room than any other 

 sort. It is supplanting other sorts as a greenhouse crop. Large 

 areas are sown in frames very early in spring, and the frames 

 removed to mature the crop. The roots are round, smooth, clean 

 and of fine color. It makes a perfect bunch and the quality is 

 excellent. Price, 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.25 lb. 



ECLIPSE BEET. 



One of the best to follow after the very early sorts. When young 

 it may be bunched, but is also used as a basket beet, and is known 

 and sells freely on every market. It is medium in size, tops small 

 for size of root, outer color dark, the flesh stronglv ringed in two 

 shades of red. Price, 10c. oz., 30c. i lb., $1.00 lb.'
