Henderson’s Leviath 
THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN 
Abundantly Prolific 
Delicious Buttery Flavor 
Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there are 
still many growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as a class 
later than the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a 
difficulty in maturing the crop. In Northern States, or where, by 
reason of continued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan 
will be found admirably adapted. 
The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any 
other sort. It is fully a week earlier than any other pole variety, 
therefore can be grown successfully where other softs would be 
caught by frosts of early autumn. 
Moreover, it is a prodigious 
cropper, producing its pods ii 
large clusters from base to 
top of pole, frequently 
from 5 to 10 together. 
These are well-filled with 
large, fleshy Beans of 
excellent quality, delicate, pale green in color, and 
possessing in a superlative degree that rich, buttery 
flavor so highly esteemed by all. ( See engraving.)

For a thorough lest I planted Henderson' s Leviathan along¬ 
side four other well-known varieties from other seedsmen. Levia¬ 
than matured seven days earlier than any of them. Its great value 
lies in its extreme earliness , excellent flavor and prodigious yield."

tested by us and continue to give great satisfaction."

picked 12 bushels of Pods from 
Limas do great here. I 
quarts of seed last year.

“ Your Early Leviathan Pole Luna has done better than 
any of three other varieties grown by me; the seasem has been 
cold and wet, but the Leviathan Lunas have given us great 
satisfaction." I. L. POWELL, 
Gardener to Samuel Thorne, Esq., Millbrook, N. Y.

HENDERSON’S 
Pole Lima Rean Ideal 
THE BEST MAIN CROP LIMA GROWN 
Enormously Prolific Of Gigantic Size—Tenderness and Flavor Superb 
is another sterling variety, of our own introduction, which 
attains an enormous size, with a degree of productiveness which is extremely rare. The pods are amazingly 
large, and are borne in great clusters. 
There is great satisfaction in producing such large pods, yet under ordinary conditions, anyone can do so. 
by planting Henderson’s Ideal. 
The vine does not differ materially from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies 
in the size of the pods, which hang in wonderful profusion on the vines. 
only are the pods singularly large, but the average yield is greater than in any other variety, 
mien, taken m conjunction with the great size of the individual beans, gives a net crop of really 
proportions. 
igh a little later than our Early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties, 
continues to produce enormous crops of the best flavored Beans, right up to frost. (See 
/raving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts..
