Is Pole LimaSw 
Henderson's Leviathan 
THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN 
Abundantly Prolific Delicious Buttery Flavor 
Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there are still 
nany growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as a class, later 
;han the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a difficulty 
n maturing the crop. In Northern States, or where, by reason of con- 
,inued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan will be found 
idmirably adapted. 
The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any 
>ther sort. It is fully a week earlier than any other pole variety, 
herefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be 
:aught by frosts of early autumn. Moreover, it is a prodigious 
xopper, producing its pods in large clusters from base to top 
>f pole, frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well 
Llled with large, fleshy Beans of excellent quality, deb¬ 
ate, pale green in color, and possessing in a superlative 
legree that rich, buttery flavor so highly esteemed by 
11. (See engraving.) Price, I5c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c.

“For a thorough test I planted Henderson's Leviathan alongside four other well-known varieties 
row other seedsmen. Leviathan matured seven days earlier than any of them. Its great value lies 
n its extreme earliness, excellent flavor and prodigious yield.

Henderson’s p, fca L n'" s Ideal 
THE BEST MAIN CROP POLE LIMA GROWN 
Enormously Prolific—Of Gigantic Size—Tenderness and Flavor Superb 
This is another sterling variety of our 
own introduction, which attains an 
enormous size, with a degree of pro¬ 
ductiveness which is extremely rare. 
The pods are amazingly large, and 
are borne in great clusters. 
There is great satisfaction in pro¬ 
ducing such large pods, yet under 
ordinary conditions, any one can do 
so, by planting Henderson’s Ideal. 
The vine does not differ materi¬ 
ally from that of the ordinary 
pole varieties. Its chief dis¬ 
tinction lies in the size of the 
pods, which hang in wonderful 
profusion on the vines. 
Not only are the pods singularly large, but the aver¬ 
age yield is greater than in any other variety, which 
taken in conjunction with the great size of the indi¬ 
vidual Beans, gives a net crop of really remarkable 
proportions. 
Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it 
is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties, and 
continues to produce enormous crops of the best- 
flavored Beans right up to frost. Price, 15c.

OLD HOMESTEAD Kentucky WONDER 
Green-Podded Snap Pole Bean. A Marvel of Productiveness from July 
Until Frost. Large, Thick, Stringless Pods, Meaty, Tender and Delicious. 
This best and most popular green-podded snap Pole Bean is a marvel of continued produc¬ 
tiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First pickings 
may be made in the latitude of New York early in July, and if gathered as they become ready 
for “snaps,” the vine will continue to produce in abundance until frost. 
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be gathered 
by the handful; they are very large, G to 8 inches in length, entirely stringless, plump, round 
and almost solid meat, meitingly tender and of superb flavor when cooked. It is also used 
as a Shelled Bean, excellent in that form. 
We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in the Union, 
and those who report on them, invariably do so in most flattering terms. (See engraving.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.70 for 4 qts. 
“Last year my Old Homestead Beans heat everything around here. The pods measured from io to n Y& 
inches long and there were big bunches of them." Mrs. C. E. SCHELL Butler, Pa. 
Lima Beans should not be planted until the ground is warm and danger from frost is over. Grow plenty of beans; 
they have almost as much nutritive value as beef.
