Old Homestead KENTUCKY*WONDER 
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 
productiveness 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 the pods are 
gathered as they become ready for “snaps,” the vine will continue to produce in great 
abundance until killed by frost. 
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be 
gathered by the handful; the pods are very large, 8 to 10 inches in length, entirely string¬ 
less, plump, round and almost ‘‘ solid meat, ’ ’ cooking meltingly tender and of superb flavor. 
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 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.40 for four qs., $2.50 pk. 
“ The Old Homestead Beans just simply heat anything in the way of Pole Beans 1 ever saw both 
for productiveness and quality, many of the pods being a foot in length, lender and delicately flavored 
as it is possible for a bean to be. I had the first on the 8th of June, which was way ahead of any one else 
in this section for Pole Beans." Mr. THOMAS P. JONES, Griffin, Ga.

OF SUPERIOR QJJALITY IMMENSE SIZE 
WONDERFULLY PRODUCTIVE 
This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the 
length of season required to mature it, the early frost coming 
on as the crop is ready to pick. Leviathan is one week earlier 
than any large Pole Lima yet offered and two weeks earlier 
than most, consequently it will prove a boon to thousands 
of growers. We cannot praise too highly the splendid 
quality and enormous productiveness of this peerless . 
variety. The pods grow in large clusters—we have fre¬ 
quently seen from 5 to 10 in a cluster—and they are always 
well filled with the most delicious Beans of beautiful 
green color. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.40

“ I thought you might like to hear of my continued success with your Leviathan Lima Bean. It is simply grand. I have planted 
other varieties, but so far have found none equal to yours." EDWARD IJOLLESTER, Avondale Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 
“ Your Early Leviathan Pole Lima has done better than any of three other varieties grown by me; the season has been cold and wet, 
but the Leviathan Limas have given us great satisfaction." I. L. POWELL.

HENDERSON'S POLE LIMA BEAN, IDEAL 
THE BEST MAIN CROP LIMA GROWN ENORMOUSLY PROLIFIC 
BEANS OF GIGANTIC SIZE QUALITY, TENDERNESS AND FLAVOR SUPERB 
There have been several special types and selections of the favorite old large White Lima put on the 
market, most of which have been improvements in one way or another. Our Leviathan, is a 
notable example, among its excellent points being that of earliness. Henderson’s Ideal Lima 
is not extra early, but it matures a tremendous crop before frost in the vicinity of New York. 
The merits of this variety are enormous size of pod and Bean, productiveness and quality. 
It produces the largest Limas we have seen in our experience of over fifty years; 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, those at the bottom of the plant ma¬ 
turing early in the season, followed in succession by the upper clusters, those at the 
top of the pole coming in before frost. 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 four qts. $2.75 pk. 
"7 wish to inform you of the results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Lima. For some 
years I have been making a specialty of growing pole limas and have bought nearly every 
new variety offered by the different seedsmen; but we have never found any to compare 
with the Ideal for size, yield and quality." F. S. WHITE, St, Louis, Mo. 
“7 feel so proud of the Ideal Lima, that I want to thank yon for my success. I 
entered 40 pods with 6 and 6 beans to the pod at the New Jersey Horticultural 
Show at Orange and received First Prize against six other Lima growers."
