Henderson’s Bountiful Bean 
A FLAT GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN 
Prolific and Continuous Bearer. The First in Spring, the Last in Fall. 
Absolutely Stringless, Very Tender. 
This 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. 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. 
We advise leaving a few of the older pods to be used 
as green shell Beans, in which condition they are 
most palatable. It is equally valuable as a dry shelled 
Bean. (See engraving.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 
peck. 
Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine Bean 
A Standard Green-Podded Dwarf Snap Bean. Full, round, meaty 
pods of unsurpassed tenderness. Remains long fit for use. 
This grand variety is a great improvement over the original Red 
Valentine, as it is very much earlier, and remains fit for use for a long 
time. The heal fT " r ' irirr - 
unusually hardy, succc 
orous plants are 
withstanding early frosts; it may therefore 
planted very early. 
It will always yield a large crop of hand¬ 
some, long, round, fleshy pods, rich green 
in color and of unsurpassed tenderness when 
gathered young when it is practically 
stringless. It is the Standard Snap Bean, 
not only for the earliest, but for successive 
plantings, bearing up to frost. (See engrav¬ 
ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 
for 4 qts., $3.00 peck. 
Longfellow 
A ROUND GREEN-PODDED BUSII BEAN 
Extra Early, Fine Quality, and of Delicious Flavor. 
This extra early variety, although comparatively 
new, has been pretty 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 0 >A 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, 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 before other varieties of approximate size.
