HENDERSON’S WAX ^ PODDED BUSH BEANS 
UNKIVALED WAX DWAKF 
OR BUSH BEAN 
THE EARLIEST WAXTODDED VARIETY GROWN 
SILVERY WAX PODS WITHOUT RUST 
SYMMETRICAL SHAPE ATTRACTIVE COLOR 
This is a comparatively new variety, but has come very rapidly into 
general favor. It is in our opinion a decided acquisition. 
The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with large, almost 
smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears an enormous crop of pods of 
a most beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color. This color is main¬ 
tained clear to the tips without any suggestion of green. The pods are 
about six inches long and almost straight, but with the valuable charac¬ 
teristic of curving slightly at the ends towards maturity, thus avoiding 
contact with the ground, and preventing liability to rust and rot, also 
preserving intact the natural beauty of the pod. 
It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. 
We have found it two days earlier than any other in our trials, which alone 
renders it extremely valuable. The color develops very early in the 
growth of the pods, which remain tender for a long period. The flavor 
is excellent, and both plant and pod are singularly free from rust and 
blight. ( See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt. 
HENDERSON’S IMPROVED 
BLACK WAX BUSH BEAN 
TENDER CREAMY -YELLOW PODS FINE QUALITY 
One of the oldest varieties grown, which by constant selection has 
been so greatly improved, that it compares favorably in every respect 
with many of the newer sorts. The dwarf bushy plants bear a heavy 
crop of pods, medium in length, quite round, slightly curved, very thick- 
fleshed, and tender. 
It is quite early, and one of the most reliable sorts for general use. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.

THE HODSON LONG POD WAX 
= BUSH BEAN = 
PLANT TWICE THE SIZE OF ANY OTHER YIELDS AN ENORMOUS CROP 
This Bean is quite distinct from any other. None equals it in size of plant, vigor 
of growth or productiveness. When picked young, as all Beans should be, it is 
extremely tender, and of fine quality. 
It should be given at least twice as much room to grow as any other sort, owing 
to its spreading and branching character. The pods are long, inclined to be flat, and 
of an exquisite, pale, creamy-white color. Its chief characteristic is its enormous 
cropping quality. It is no exaggeration to say that it yields twice as many pods as 
any other sort. 
There is never any doubt about the crop, for in addition to its productiveness, 
it is entirely free from any kind of disease, and is unaffected by adverse climatic 
conditions. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk. 
“/ picked Beans from July 1st to Sept. 1st off your Hodson Wax. They are unequalled—so large 
and lender. I like them belter than any wax Beati 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." Mrs. JAMES F. BURK, North Easton, Mass. 
“We were delighted with your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans which gave splendid returns and were 
thought the best Beans we ever ate." 
Miss ELIZA JORDAN, St. Michael, Barbadoes.
