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 
productiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green Pole Bean. First pickings 
may be made in this latitude early in July, and if the pods are gathered as they become 
ready for “snaps,” the vine will continue to produce in great abundance until killed 
by frost. 
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be 
gathered by the handful; the pods are very large, 8 to 10 inches in length, entirely string¬ 
less, plump", round and almost “solid meat, ” cooking meltingly tender and of superb flavor. 
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 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 pk. 
“ The Old Homestead Beans just simply beat anything in the way of Pole Beans I ever saw both 
for productiveness and quality, many of the pods being afoot in length and tender and delicately flavored 
as it is possible for a bean to be. I had the first on the 8th of June, which was way ahead of any 07ie else 
in this section for Pole Beans.” Mr. THOMAS P. JONES, Griffin, Ga.

HENDERSON'S 
EARLY LEVIATHAN 
One week earlier than any! Two weeks earlier than most! 
Of Superior Quality. Immense Size. Wonderfully Productive 
This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the length of season required 
to mature it, the early frost coming on as the crop is ready to pick. Leviathan is one 
week earlier than any large Pole Lima yet offered and two weeks earlier than most, con¬ 
sequently it will prove a boon to thousands of growers. We cannot praise too highly 
the splendid quality and enormous productiveness of - 1 
this peerless variety. The 
pods grow in large clusters 
— we have frequently seen 
from 5 to 10 in a cluster— 
and they are always well 
filled with the most deli¬ 
cious Beans of beautiful 
green color. Price,lOc.pkt., 
25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 pk. 
“ I thought you might like to 
hear of my continued success 
with your Leviathan Lima Bean. 
It is simply grand. 1 have 
planted other varieties, but so far 
have found none equal to yours.” 
EDWARD HOLLESTER, 
Avondale Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 
“Permit me to congratulate you on the introduction of Henderson's Early Leviathan Pole 
Limas. It is the peer of any variety that I have ever grown or seen.”

HENDERSON’S NEW 
POLE LIMA BEAN, “IDEAL" 
The Best Main Crop Lima Grown. Enormously Prolific. Beans of 
Gigantic Size. Quality, Tenderness and Flavor Superb 
There have been several special types and selections of the favorite old large 
White Lima put on the market, most of which have been improvements in 
one way or another. Our Leviathan, offered above, is a notable example, 
among its excellent points being that of earliness. Henderson’s Ideal Lima 
is not extra early, but it matures a tremendous crop before frost in the 
vicinity of New York. The merits of this variety are enormous size of pod 
and Bean, productiveness and quality. It produces the largest Limas we 
have seen in our experience of over fifty years; five to seven of these big, 
fat buttery Beans are borne in pods averaging two-thirds of a foot long; 
these pods are produced in large clusters, those at the bottom of the plant 
maturing early in the season, followed in succession by the upper clusters, 
those at the top of the pole coming in before frost. The plant is of rugged 
constitution, which carries it through wet spells without injury. The superb 
quality, tenderness and rich flavor, combined with gigantic size of Bean and 
productiveness, render Henderson’s IDEAL the peer of any Lima grown for 
use either green or cured. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $2.50 pk. 
“ For some years I have been making a specially of growing Pole Lima Beans and have 
bought nearly everything offered by the. different seedsmen but have never found anything to 
compare with your Ideal for size, yield atid quality.”
