Henderson's "LONGFELLOW" BEAN 
HENDERSON’S BOUNTIFUL BEAN 
A FLAT, GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 
A PROLIFIC AND CONTINUOUS BEAREK. THE FIRST IN SPRING—THE LAST IN FALL 
ABSOLUTELY STFJNGLESS—VERY TENDEK AND OF DELICIOUS FLAVOK 
T HIS superior variety, introduced by us, is a distinct improvement in green bush beans 
and has become exceedingly popular wherever known. Our customers who have grown 
it are enthusiastic in its praise; some of them say, “You do not praise it half 
enough. ” 
The plant is remarkably handsome and of thrifty growth, being practically rust and 
mildew proof. It is very hardy, extremely early, very prolific and bears continuously for 
several weeks; it is the first to give pods fit to pick in the spring, and the last to yield edible 
pods in the fall ; in fact, frost usually finds midsummer-sown plants still in pod and blossom. 
But the crowning merit of this grand Bush Bean is in the rich green pods, which are of 
immense size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty and of high quality, 
meltingly tender and having a delicious flavor exclusively their own; moreover, the pods are 
absolutely stringless and entirely free from any tough, membranous lining, not only when 
young, but this tender “snap brittle” quality is retained even into maturity. 
In addition to the many merits of Henderson’s Bountiful as a “snap” bean one lady 
draws our attention to the fact that she “finds it is most excellent shelled after it is ripe for 
winter use.’ ’ 
This variety, while unrivalled in its class for the home garden, is also coming into great 
demand among, the truckers, who find that its handsome appearance and luscious quality 
“hold their customers.” ( See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.80 pk., $6.50 bush.

Mrs. BENJ. F. RENCII, Oberlin, Ohio. 
An Extra Early, Fkound Green-podded Bush Bean of Fine Quality. Remarkably early. 
Exceedingly Prolific. Long round green pods, always solid, tender, and of delicious flavor. 
T HIS extra early variety has been widely distributed, and we have yet to hear anything 
but praise about its fine quality and other merits; it is in fact an ideal snap Bean, 
producing a fine crop of round, straight, solid fleshy pods averaging 6J^ inches long, 
wonderfully tender and brittle, without a trace of tough interlining, and having no string 
when broken, excepting when the pods are quite old. The flavor is most delicious, captivating 
the most critical, while the delicate green color of the pods is retained after cooking, adding 
to its attractiveness when served. The plants are of robust, compact habit, unexcelled in 
bearing qualities, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the pods being fit to 
pick four days in advance of any other variety of approximate size and merit. Price, 10c. pkt., 
20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.70 pk., $6.00 bush. 
Beans, Peas and Corn we do not deliver free, but will do so if 5c. per pt. or 10c. per qt. is added to the prices
