Unrivaled Wax 
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 characteristic of curving slightly at the ends towards 
maturity, thus avoiding contact 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. C See colored illustration.) Price, 15c. pkt.,

“I wish to add my testimonial to the merits of IIenderson's Unrivaled Wax Beans. They are 
certainly lender and grand, and the yield was bountiful.”

” Last year I planted your Unrivaled Wax Bush Beans side by side with some Bush Beans I 
bought from another well known seed company who sells through the stores. It was a very rainy 
year, as you will remember, yet Henderson's Unrivaled Wax Beans did net rust. The 
bushes bore belter pods, and bore more of them and for a longer time, than the others.”

Henderson’s Black Valentine 
GREEN PODDED BUSH BEAN 
Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red Valentine, and the pod is 
^ fully one-third longer. In addition it has other valuable points. The 
pods are extra long, round, straight and tender, and of a beautiful soft 
green color. It is also equally early, but has another advantage in 
that it is more suitable for late planting. In a test of the Extra Early 
Refugee, Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine and Black Valen¬ 
tine, conducted in the fall, we found that Black Valentine was 
fully as useful as Extra Early Refugee, being equally as hardy 
in every respect as the Refugee, while the beans were pro- 
duced in enormous quantities. For any purpose, or at 
“I claim that any time of the year, this bean will be found exceed- 
ingly valuable to all classes of growers. {See colored

the good varieties. The Black Valentine is the best for both early and late planting and will stand 
wet, cold weather. It is of the finest quality, easy to pick and is the most productive bean on the 
market today, but they must be gathered at the right time.”
