HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



3 



REFUGEE, or "1000 to 1." 



The most prolific dwarf, green-podded Snap Bean. 



A very popular market gardener's variety on account of 

 its exceeding productiveness. It is extensively grown 

 both in the north and south for a fall crop. The plants 

 are of healthy, robust growth, about 15 inches high, of 

 true branching bush growth. The pods are of attractive 

 appearance, round, long and slim, of light green color, 

 fleshy, solid and brittle, with but slight string and of 

 tender and mild flavor. This type of bean is the most 

 popular in the markets of the large cities and it is also 

 extensively used for picking. Our strain of Refugee is 

 very fine. (See cut.) Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.50 bush. 



" / take pleasure in writing you about the Refugee Beans you shipped 

 me. It is the best seed I ever planted — / tested the seeds from eai h bag — 

 over 90% good and I got a perfect stand. Quite a quantity of inferior 

 seed was planted around here and planters had to plant over."

Extra early REFUGEE BEAN. 



This is one of the very best green podded varieties for 

 the market gardener. It is ready at the same time as the 

 Earliest Red Valentine, and two weeks earlier than the 

 Late Refugee, or 1000 to 1. The plant has the true Refu- 

 gee habit, bearing a mass of small leaves, which shelter 

 the pods from hot suns. The pods are round, almost 

 straight, fleshy and solid, and of remarkable uniformity in 

 size. It is a prodigious cropper, and an excellent shipper, 

 and is popular on all markets and of excellent quality in 

 every respect. Price, 25c. qt., $1.40 peck, $5.00 bush. 



H endersons "LONGFELLOW" BEAN. 



Remarkably early. Exceedingly prolific. 

 Round green-podded Bush bean of fine quality. 



This extra early variety is an ideal snap bean, producing 

 a fine crop of round straight, solid, fleshy pods averaging 

 6| inches long, wonderfully tender and brittle, without a 

 trace of tough interlining, and having no string when 

 broken, excepting when the pods are quite old. The flavor 

 is most delicious, while the delicate green color of the 

 pods is retained after cooking, adding to its attractiveness 

 when served. The plants are of robust, compact habit, 

 unexcelled in bearing qualities, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the pods being fit to pick four days in advance 

 of any other variety of approximate size and merit. (See cut.) Price 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $5.00 bush. 



H endekson's BOUNTIFUL BUSH BEAN. 



A prolific and continuous cropper. The first in spring the last in fall. 



This superior variety, introduced into cultivation by us, is a distinct improve- 

 ment in green bush beans, and has become exceedingly popular wherever known. 



It is the first to give pods fit to pick in the spring, and the last to yield edible 

 pods in the fall; in fact, frost usually finds mid-summer sown plants still in pod and 

 blossom. 



The rich green pods are of immense size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform 

 in shape, solid, meaty, and of high quality, tender and of excellent flavor; the pods 

 nr- absolutely stringless and entirely free from any tough, membraneous lining, not 

 only when young, but this tender quality is retained even after maturity. This 

 variety is coming into great demand among truckers, who rind that its handsome appear- 

 ance and luscious quality hold their customers. Price 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $5.00 bush. 



" Your Bountiful Beans have given ,he best satisfaction of any beans every grown by me. Planted seven 

 days later than Valentine -the Bountifuls produced first. The plants were very healthy, the crop heavy and 

 quality fine. J. K. VAIL. Garden Grove, lowi-
