UNKIVALED WAX DWAKF 
OR BUSH BEAN 
THE EARLIEST WAXTODDED VARIETY GROWN 
SILVERY WAX PODS WITHOUT RUST 
SYMMETRICAL SHAPE ATTRACTIVE COLOR 
This variety has been under notice in our trials for three years, and we 
are satisfied that it is well worthy of cultivation. 
The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with large, almost 
smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears an enormous crop of pods of 
the most beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color. I his color is main¬ 
tained clear to the tips without any suggestion of green. The pods are 
about six inches long and almost straight, but with the valuable charac¬ 
teristic of curving slightly at the ends tow;ards maturity, thus avoiding 
contact with the ground, and preventing liability to rust and rot, also 
preser\’ing 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. It is not entirely without string, but has no 
suggestion of parchment, so that if gathered reasonably early, it will ^ 
found to equal the best in quality. The color develops very early in 
the growth of the pod, and most important of all it is perfectly immune 
from rust or blight. (5ee ml.) Price, 15c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt. 
HENDERSON'S 
Golden Scimitaia Wax 
= BUSH BEAN = 
A PERFECT CYLINDRICAL PODDED 
STRINGLESS DWARF WAX BEAN 
This is emphatically the best round podded Wax Bush Bean in 
cuhn^aUon. selected it until we have attained the 
acme of perfection, whether considered from the standpoint of quality, pro¬ 
ductiveness, or flavor. In these respects it excels all others of ite class. 
The plant is of vigorous constitution—strong and bushy in habit, which 
enables it to develop and mature a large crop of perfectly shaped Beans of 
large size. It rarely 
produces inferior or 
malformed pods. 
Its chief value lies 
in its perfect string¬ 
less character,w'hich 
renders it peculiarly 
Suitable for private use, where quality is the desideratum. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
30c. qt., $1.00 for 4 qts., $1.75 pk. 
"Last year I had some GOLDEN SCIMITAR WAX BEANS which you say will average B 
io 6 inches. I had a good many that measured 7 inches and they were handsome. 
E. C. BABSON, Danielson, Conn. 
" The Golden Scimitar Wax Beans surpassed any other in beauty, crop and quality. ”

THE HODSON LONG POD WAX 
= BUSH BEAN =^= 
PLANT TWICE THE SIZE OF ANY OTHER YIELDS AN ENORMOUS CROP 
This Bean is quite distinct from any other. None equals it in size of plant, vigor 
of growth or productiveness. It is not stringles's, but if picked while young is 
equal in quality to any. 
It should be given at least twice as much room to grow as any other sort, owing 
to its spreading and branching character. The pods are long, inclined to be flat, and 
of an exquisite, pale, creamy-white color. Its chief characteristic is its enormous 
cropping quality. It is no exaggeration to say that it yields twice as itiany pods as 
any other sort. 
There is never any doubt about the crop, for in addition to its productiveness, 
it is entirely free from any kind of disease, and is unaflected by adverse climatic 
conditions. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk, 
"I picked Beans from July 1st to Sept. 1st off your Hodson Wax. They are unequalled—so large 
and tender. I like them belter than any wax Bean 1 ever tried. " J. E. AD.\MS, Topeka, Kan. 
" Your Hodson Long Pod Wax Beans did well with me. .4 single planting bore continuously from 
July until frost." .V/rj. JAMES F. BURK, North Easton, Mass.
