HENDERSON’S 
MAMMOTH 
WAX 
Dwarf or Bush Bean 
A GIANT AMONG BEANS 
FIFTY MONSTER PODS TO A PLANT 
SOLID PULP, TENDER AND DELICIOUS 
The outstanding features of this wonderful 
bean are emphasized in the above headings. 
Introduced by us in 1889 it has held its place 
as a favorite for amateurs and market garden¬ 
ers and is today better than when we first 
offered it. It is of such gigantic growth, for a 
bush bean, that it should be planted at least 
one-half wider than ordinary varieties, conse¬ 
quently a smaller quantity of seed is required 
for the same ground space. The size of pod 
and plant suggested its name. 
The pods frequently attain a length of ten to 
fourteen inches, about the thickness of a man’s 
finger, and are nearly all solid pulp, the seeds 
being very small at the period when the pods 
are fit for use. The pod is a rich, golden color, 
absolutely stringless, cooking tender and de¬ 
licious. It is enormously productive, as rflany 
as fifty of its monster pods having been counted 
on a bush. (See engraving.) Price, 20c. pkt., 
75c. pt., $1.40 qt. 
HENDERSON’S 
IMPROVED 
DWARF OR BUSH BEAN 
One of the oldest varieties grown, which by 
constant selection has been so greatly im¬ 
proved, that it compares favorably in every 
respect with many of the newer sorts. The dwarf bushy plants bear 
a heavy crop of creamy yellow pods, medium in length, quite round, 
slightly curved, very thick-fleshed, and tender. It is a vigorous 
grower with ample foliage, sheltering the pods so they are uniformly 
translucent. Black Wax is very early, enormously productive and oj 
fine quality, and one of the most reliable sorts for general use. Price, 
15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 
Black Wax 
Improved Golden Wax bEn 
THE STANDARD FLAT, WAN-PODDED VARIETY 
Among the Yellow Wax-podded or “Butter” Beans, the Golden Wax 
lias 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., 45c. 
pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 
“ The Golden Yellow Wax Beans came up the tenth day from planting, and in 
six weeks I picked them for the table.”

The Hodson Long Pod 
CREAMY YELLOW 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. 11 will ou I yield any other bush 
bean two to one on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain 
dimensions '2}4 feet in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty 
pods, measuiing 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 absolutely immune 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 phe¬ 
nomenal vigor and productiveness. The plants should l e thinned out 
to at least 0 inches apart in the rows on account of the great size of the 
plants. (Sec engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 
4 qts. 
“Hodson Long Pod Beans are fine. Last year was the first time I ever planted 
them and 1 was delighted with them.” C. J . LECIJNER, Corning, N. Y.
