THE LONGFELLOW PSd BUSH BEAN Exceedingly Prolific 
An Extra Early, Round Green^Podded Bush Bean of Fine Qyality Long, 
Round Green Pods Always Solid, Tender and of Delicious Flavor 
T his 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 15 fact an ideal Snap Bean, producing a fine crop 
of round, straight, solid, fleshy pods averaging 6 ^^ 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, captivating the 
most critical, 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, unex¬ 
celled in bearing qualities, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra early, the 
pods being fit to pick four days in advance of any other variety of approximate size 
airtl merit. (See cut.) Price, 10 c. pkt., 20 c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $ 2.00 pk. 
'‘Last year 1 tried your Longfellow Bush Bean and think it the finest and altogether most satisfactory 
Bush Bean I ever had during over thirty years' experience for private family use. 1 am so well satisfied 
with it that I have no desire to try for a better. I think you will have several orders f)om persons who 
have seen mine." Mrs. B}iNJ.\MIN P. BENCH. 
" I.ast year I had your Longfellow Beans. I have never had the pleasure of growing such beans as they 
were. H'e have discarded all others and will use none but the Longfellow hereafter."

“/ think there is no better Bean than your Longfellow." JOSEPH SCHOPP, Peoria, III. 
"Gen I Brow7i's family have discarded every other bean; the only bean they will have ott the table is 
Longfellow. Prom four rows I have been gathering daily for three weeks in large quantities, and 
the vines are still bearing heavily. 1 am glad to endorse it; it is the best bean I have grown in 
twenty years' practice." A. M. McTOSH. Falmouth Foreside, Me. 
HENDERSON’S EARLIEST 
RED VALENTINE 
- BEAN . 
America’s standard Green-Podded Dwarf Snap Bean 
Ready for picking 15 days from planting Yields prodigiously 
Full, round, meaty pods of unsurpassed tenderness and quality 
T his grand variety is a great improvement over the original 
Red Valentine, which it has now entirely supplanted, as 
it is very much earlier, often being readj'- to pick in forty- 
five days from sowing. The healthy, vigorous plants are un¬ 
usually hardy, successfully withstanding early frosts; it may 
therefore be planted very early. This, with its quick develop¬ 
ment, makes it the earliest large-podded variety, and on this 
account it is extensively grown by truckers over wide sections of 
the country, though it is equally desirable for home gardens. 
It will always yield a large crop of handsome, long, round, fleshy 
pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness when 
gathered young, when it is practically stringless. It is the Stand¬ 
ard Snap Bean, not only for the earliest but for successive 
plantings, bearing up to frost. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt, 20c. 
pt., 30c. qt., $1.00 for 4 qts., $1.75 pk.
