DO NOT FAIL TO TRY 
The Most Remarkable Bean of the Century 
THE HODSON LONG POD WAX 
BUSH BEAN 
Enormous Plant. Enormous Pod. Enormous Yielder. Never Affected by 
Rust or Blight 
This distinct new type of bean is remarkable for its great size of plant and pod 
and wonderful productiveness. It will outyield any other bush bean two to 
one on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2 y 2 feet 
in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches 
in length and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage sheltering the 
pods from the hot sun renders them exceptionally tender, brittle, and if picked 
before too old they are stringless, free from fibre and of fine table quality. 
This variety is remarkably free from bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, 
blight or mildew has ever appeared on a plant or pod in our trial grounds or 
fields during the years we have been growing it — and the past season was 
especially favorable for developing rust and blight on beans. The Hodson Long 
Pod Wax comes in about two weeks after the earliest dwarf varieties, but for 
main crop it is destined to become important for both the private table and 
for market growers on account of its phenomenal vigor and productiveness. 
The plants should be thinned out to at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 
account of the great size of the plants. ( See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 
40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.70 for 4 qts. 
**/ had wonderful success with your seeds last year, one and all—but especially with your 
Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans. They are wonderful. The finest I have ever grown.

UNRIVALED WAX 
Dwarf or Bush Bean 
The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown. Creamy Yellow 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 
maintained clear to the tips without any suggestion of green. The pods 
are about six inches long and almost straight, but with the valuable char¬ 
acteristic of curving slightly at the ends towards maturity, thus avoiding 
contict 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 engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.70 for 4 qts. 
“/ wish to add my testimonials to the merits of Henderson's Unrivaled Wax 
Beans. They certainly were just fine and tender and also through a week of heavy 
rains every day there was not a rust on any of my beans. They were the only Wax 
Beans in my neighborhood that did not nest and get tough; they were very tender.

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX 
Bush Bean 
The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety 
Among the Yellow Wax-podded or “Butter” Beans, the Golden Wax 
has long been in popular favor, but this Improved variety by far sur¬ 
passes the old favorite in several desirable points. The plants are of 
vigorous, bushy growth, not susceptible to rust, moderately early, and 
very prolific. The pods are exceedingly handsome, long, thick, fleshy, 
tender and brittle, without string or coarse fibre at all stages until 
maturity, while the color is of a rich golden-yellow. Although not the 
earliest Dwarf Wax Bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop, 
whether planted in spring, summer or early fall, renders it highly 
valuable for both home and market planting. Price, 15c. pkt., 35c. pt., 
60c. qt., $2.25 for 4 qts.
