The Two Best Pole Limas Grown! 



Leviathan for Early. Ideal for Main Crop. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY LEVIATHAN 



POLE LIMA BEAN.^ 



ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN ANY! . . . 

 I'WO WEEKS EARLIER THAN MOST! 



Of Superior Quality. Immense Size. Wonderfully Productive. 



This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the length 

 of season required to mature it, the early frosts coming on as the crop 

 is_ ready to pick. Leviathan is one week earlier than any large Pole 

 Lima yet offered and two weeks eariier than most, consequently it 

 will prove a boon to thousands of growers. We cannot praise too 

 highly the splendid quality and enormous produc- 

 tion of this peerless variety. The pods grow in large 

 clusters — we have frequently seen from 5 to 10 in a 

 cluster,— and they are always well filled with the 

 most dehcious beans of beautiful green color. {See 

 cut.) Price, 15c. h pt., 25c. pt. 40c. qt., $2.50 pk., 

 $8.50 bush. 



"/ am very much pleased with your Leviathan Early Lima 

 Beans, being early and grand for table use. I planted them May 

 12th, and they were coming up May 16th, and grew so rapidly 

 that I had to hustle to keep them tied up. First picking for 

 the table July 26th; we are still picking (September 17th), and 

 young beans still forming." 



E. HOLLISTER, Wellston, Mo. 

 " I had the earliest Limas on the market in this city, receii-ing 

 60c. a quart for them. They were your Early Leviathan " 

 LOUIS R. SMITH, Takoma Park, D. C. 

 "The Leviathan Lima Beans I got from you last spring are 

 the best ever. No variety I have tried equals them " 



M. S. SCOTT, Ridgefield, Conn. 

 "Last spring I procured what was claimed to be early 

 strains of Pole Lima Beans from four seed houses and 

 tested them along with your Early Leviathan; yours gave 

 fine large beans for the table a week earlier than the 

 Jersey Extra Early, and 10 days earlier than any other 

 il'rl^- ' '""^ "°^^ Lima. As a general thing, the large 

 11 hite Limas will not ripen in this cold climate; with 

 1 eviathan there will be no trouble. I can but con- 

 gratulate you on its introduction "

H ENDERSON'S NEW POLE LIMA BEAN, JOEAL. 



The Best Main Crop Lima Grown. = 



ENORMOUSLY PROLIFIC. BEANS OF GIGANTIC SIZE. 

 QUALITY, TENDERNESS AND FLAVOR SUPERB 



There have been several special types and selections of the favorite old large White 

 Lima put on the market, most of which have been improvements in one way or another. 

 Our Leviathan, offered above, is a notable example, among its excellent points being 

 that of earliness. Henderson's Ideal Lima is not extra early, but it matures a 

 tremendous crop before frost in the vicinity of New York. The merits of this 

 variety are enormous size of pod and bean, productiveness and quality. It pro- 

 duces the largest Limas we have seen in our experience of over fifty years; 

 five to seven of these big, fat buttery beans are borne in pods averaging 

 two-thirds of a foot long; these pods are produced in large clusters, those 

 at the bottom of the plant maturing early in the season, followed in 

 succession by the upper clusters, those at the top of the pole coming 

 in before frost. The plant is of rugged constitution, which carries 

 it through wet spells without injury. The superb quality, tender- 

 ness and rich flavor, combined with gigantic size of bean and 

 productiveness, render Henderson's IDEAL the peer of any 

 Lima grown for use either green or cured. (See cut.) Price, 

 20c. i pt., 30c. pt. 50c. qt., $3.00 pk.
