DO NOT FAIL TO TRY 
The Most Remarkable Bean of the Century 
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. It will outyield any other bush bean two 
to one on a given area. The strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2]^ 
feet in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 
inches in length and of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage shelter¬ 
ing 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 phenomenal vigor and productiveness. 
The plants should be thinned out to at least G inches apart in the rows on 
account of the great size of the plants. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 
30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 
“ One cannot say too much in praise of your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans or of Golden 
Bantam Corn. Each is unique iil its class, and a revelation to persons accustomed to the 
ordinary varieties .” 
MISS ELEANOR L. PRAY, Novogcorgievsk Estate, East Siberia. 
“ We were delighted last season with the Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans which gave 
returns, and were the best beans we ever ate."

Improved Golden Wax bean 
The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety 
Among the Yellow’Wax-podded or “Butter” Beans, the Golden 
Wax has long been in popular favor, but this Improved variety by 
far surpasses 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. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 
55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 
“Am inclosing order for seeds, and can 
say that last year's trial of your seeds gave us 
the best garden in the neighborhood. The 
Improved Golden Wax Beans grew to eight 
and nine inches in length, atid were wonder¬ 
fully sweet and tender." 
Mrs. GEORGE DE VRIES, 
Milwaukee, Wis. 
“ Your Improved Golden Wax Beans are 
all you claim for them and more. They are 
almost absolutely without strings, even after 
fully matured."

HENDERSON’S IMPROVED 
Black Wax 
DWARF OR BUSH BEAN 
One of the oldest varieties grown, 
which by constant selection has been 
so greatly improved, 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 translu¬ 
cent. Black Wax is very early, enor¬ 
mously productive and of fine quality, 
and one of the most reliable sorts for 
general use. Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 
55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 
“ Last spring I bought from you an order 
of seeds and we never had so many beans 
as we had the past season. The limas 
were great and the green podded beans 
(Refugee) yielded all summer. There never 
was a bit of rust on any of them." 
Mrs. WALTER CONNELLEY, 
E. Bald Eagle St., Lock Haven, Pa.
