PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK. 



Henderson's "Earliest" Red Valentine Bean. 



T-ue BEST BEAN 



Autumn 

 Sowing 



IN THE . . . 



SOUTH - 



It is fully 



10 Days Earlier, 



Than the Ordinary 

 Red Valentine. 



This is the Trueker's favorite money maker among T beans. It is 10 clays earlier than the ordi- 

 nary Early Red Valentine, and is usually ready to pick in 45 days from the time of planting. On 

 account of its great earliness, its increased productiveness and fine meaty, saddle backed pods, it is 

 largely grown and much sought after by market gardeners. By a competitive test made by one of tlie 

 highest authorities on the subject in this country, Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine was proven to be 

 10 days earlier than any ordinary stock. Sold only in sealed packages. (See cut.) Price, 20c. per qt. ; 

 90c. per peck ; $3.25 per bush. 



WARDWELL'S DWARF KIDNEY WAX. 



This variety is very hardy, and both pod and plants are more robust than usual for a Wax 

 Bean. The shape of the beans is distinct from all other Wax varieties, being of a perfect kidney 



shape. It produces a 

 heavy crop of purely Wax 

 pods, which are very long, 

 flat, showy, and not liable 

 to rust or blister. Very 

 early. 20c. qt. ; $1.00 peck, 

 $3.50 bushel. 



R EFUGEE 



or iooo to l. 



An exceedingly produc- 

 tive variety for medium 

 and late use. The young 

 pods are tender and of fine 

 flavor, while the color is distinct be- 

 ing of a silvery green. In shape the 

 pods are round and slim. This type 

 of Bean is the most popular in the 

 market of all the large cities, and our strain of this variety was never 

 finer or truer than it is to-day. 20c. qt.; 80c. peck ; $2.75 bush. 



PALMETTO ASPARAGUS ROOTS. 



(Ready in November for the South, in March and April for the North.) 



The Palmetto is much earlier, and is a better yielder and is more even and regular, in its 

 growth than Conover's Colossal, and we think it must eventually supplant that old favorite. The Pal- 

 metto lias now been planted in all parts of the country, and the reports prove that it is equally well 

 adapted for all sections, North and South, although it was orginally a variety of southern origin. Its 

 uality is equal to that of either the Colossal or the Giant. (See cut.) 



Price oi l wo year old roots, $1.00 per 100 ; $7.00 per 1,000 (500 at 1,000 rates). 



CONOVER'S COLOSSAL ASPARAGUS ROOTS. 



Price of two year old roots, 75c. per 100 ; $4.50 per 1,000.
