OLD HOMESTEAD BEAN, 
OR IMPROVED KENTUCKY WONDEK. 
A Green-podded Snap Pole Bean, Wonderfully Productive 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 oole bean. First pick¬ 
ings may be made in this latitude 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 
stringless, plump, round and almost “solid meat,” cooking meltingly tender and o'f 
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., $2.25 pk. 
"1 must say a word in praise of Old Homestead Beans. They came into bearing just after our first 
planting of bush beans had passed and such beans. We picked from that time until frost killed the vines 
The quality as well as quantity, is all that can be desired .” Mrs. E. S. ROOT, Westfield, Mass. 
HENDERSON'S EARLY LEVIATHAN 
POLE LIMA BEAN. 
Superior Quality. Extremely Early. Immense Size. Wonderfully Productive. 
This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the length of season 
required to mature it, the early frosts coming on as the crop is ready to pick. Levia¬ 
than 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 frequently seen from 5 to 10 
in a cluster,—and they are always Well filled with the most delicious beans of 
beautiful green color. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 pk. 
“/ want to tell yotl about our 
Leviathan Lima Beans. We 
planted them May 1st and picked 
our first July 15th and have been 
gathering them right along since ” 
M. M. POWERS, 
Pennsville, N. J. 
"Last spring I procured what was 
claimed to be early strains of Pole 
Lima Beans from four seed houses 
and tested them along with your 
Early Leviathan, yours gave fine 
large beans for the table a week 
earlier than the Jersey Extra Early , 
and 10 days earlier than any other 
large White Pole Lima. As a gen¬ 
eral thing, the large White Limas 
will not ripen in this cold climate; 
with Leviathan there will be no 
trouble. I can but congratulate you 
on its introduction .”

HENDERSON'S IHC A 1 
NEW POLE LIMA BEAN, lULAL, 
THE BEST MAIN'CROP LIMA GROWN. 
Enormously Prolific. Beans of Gigantic Size. Quality, Tenderness and Flavor Superb. 
Henderson’s Ideal Lima is not extra early, but it matures a tremen¬ 
dous crop before frost in the vicinity of New York. The merits of 
this variet}’ - are enormous size of pod and bean, productiveness and 
quality. It produces the largest Limas we have seen; five to seven 
of these big, fat buttery beans are borne in pods 6 to 8 inches 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. Price 15c. pkt., 
25c. pt., 45c. qt., $2.75 pk. 
“I wish to inform you of the results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Limas. 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.
