THE TWO BEST POLE LIMAS GROWN 
Leviathan EARLY I Ideal M°^N-CROP 
Henderson’s 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 of pole, 
frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well 
filled with large fleshy Beans of excellent quality, 
delicate pale green in color, and possessing in a 
superlative degree that rich, buttery flavor so 
highly esteemed by all. 
Another feature which will commend it to the 
housewife is the fact that it is easily shelled.

CANNOT FIND WORDS TO PRAISE

Beans this season and can hardly word 
my praise for them. The beans were 
fit for the table on the middle of /Iw-

Henderson’s Pole Lima Bean IDEAL 
THE BEST MAIN^CROP LIMA GROWN-ENORMOUSLY PROLIFIC 
OF GIGANTIC SIZE—TENDERNESS AND FLAVOR SUPERB 
Several special types and selections of the favorite large White Lima have been put on the 
market, most of which have been improvements in one way or another. Leviathan is a 
notable example, among its excellent points being that of earlincss. Henderson’s Ideal 
Lima is not extra early, but it matures a tremendous crop Ijefore frost in the vicinity 
of New York. The merits of this variety are enormous size of pod an{l Bean, 
productiveness and Cjuality. It produces the largest Limas we have ever 
seen in our experience; five to seven of these big, fat, buttery Beans are 
borne in pods averaging two-thirds of a foot long; these pods are produced 
in large clusters. The plant is of rugged constitution, which carries it 
through wet spells without injury. The superb quality, tenderness and 
rich flavor, combined with gigantic size of Bean and productiveness, 
render Henderson’s IDEAL the peer of any Lima grown for use either 
green or cured. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt, 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.50 
for 4 qts., $2.75 pk. 
“/ feel so proud of the Ideal Lima, that I want to thank yon for my success. 
/ entered 40 pods with 6 and 0 beans to the pod at the New Jersey Horticultural 
Sho^v at Orange and received First Prize agahist six other Lima growers."
