Hendersons Leviathan 
THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN 
Abundantly Prolific 
Delicious Buttery Flavor 
Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there are 
still many growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as a class 
later than the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a 
difficulty in maturing the crop. In Northern States, or where, by 
reason of continued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan 
will be found admirably adapted. 
The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any 
other sort. It is fully a week earlier than any other pole variety 
therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be 
caught by frosts of early autumn. Moreover, it is a prodigious 
cropper, producing its pods in large clusters from base to top 
pole, frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well filled 
with large, fleshy Beans of excellent quality, delicate, 
green in color, and possessing in a superlative degree 
rich, buttery flavor so highly esteemed by all. (See en¬ 
graving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 
4 qts., $4.00 peck. 
“For a thorough test 1 planted Henderson's Leviathan 
alongside four other well-known varieties from other seedsmen. Leviathan matured 
earlier than any of them. Its great value lies in its extreme earliness , excellent flavor and 
prodigious yield."

TLIE BEST MAIN CROP POLE LIMA GROWN 
Enormously Prolific- 
days 
Ideal 
-Of Gigantic Size — Tenderness and Flavor Superb 
This is another sterling variety of our 
own introduction, which attains an 
enormous size, with a degree of pro¬ 
ductiveness which is extremely rare. 
The pods are amazingly large, and 
are borne in great clusters. 
There is great satisfaction in pro¬ 
ducing such large pods, yet under 
ordinary conditions, any one can do 
so, by planting Henderson’s Ideal. 
The vine does not differ materi¬ 
ally from that of the ordi nary pole 
varieties. Its chief distinction 
lies in the size of the pods, 
which hang in wonderful profusion on the vines. 
Not only are the pods singularly large, but the average 
yield is greater than in any other variety, which, taken 
in conjunction with the great size of the individual 
Beans, gives a net crop of really remarkable propor¬ 
tions. 
Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it 
is just a& early as the ordinary pole varieties, and con¬ 
tinues to produce enormous crops of the best- 
flavored Beans right up to frost. Price, 15c. pkt., 
30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 
OLD HOMESTEAD Kentucky 
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 produc¬ 
tiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First pickings 
may be made in the latitude of New York early in July, and if gathered as they become ready 
for “snaps,” the vine will continue to produce in abundance until frost. 
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be gathered 
by the handful; they are very large, 0 to 8 inches in length, entirely stringless, plump, round 
and almost solid meat, meltingly tender and of superb flavor when cooked. It is also used as a 
Shelled Bean, excellent in that form. 
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 engraving.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for 4 qts., $3.00 peck. 
“ Last year my Old Homestead Beans beat everything around here. The pods measured from 10 to 11% 
inches long and there were big bunches of them .”
