ENDERSON'S NEW 
POLE LIMA BEAN, 
IDEAL. 
(shown in color on the opposite page.) 
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, offered on page 
14, is a notable example, among its excelling 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 maturing 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 Elenderson’s IDEAL the peer of any Lima grown 
for use either green or cured. Price, 20c. Jpt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $4.00 pk. 
HENDERSON’S New Early “Sugar-Sweet” Corn, HIAWATHA. 
(shown in color on 
Earliness, productiveness and, above all, delicious quality 
and flavor are the pronounced merits of our new Hiawatha 
“Sugar-Sweet” Corn. We are sure it will delight all lovers 
of this toothsome vegetable. 
The ears are not extra large, only about eight inches long, 
just a nice size when corn is eaten from the cob, but the 
ears are thick, being compactly filled with 12 to 14 and 
occasionally 16 rows of medium-sized, long, plump, pearly- 
white kernels, so lusciously tender, creamy and sweet as to 
literally “melt in your mouth.” Another valuable feature is ,

the length of time the ears remain “in the milk,” the thick 
husk giving splendid protection. The plant grows about five 
feet high, bearing no less than two ears to a stalk and frequently 
three ears, all very uniform in shape and size. It is a very 
early variety, being ready to use in from nine to ten weeks from 
sowing, or only two or three days later than the very earliest 
variety grown, but Hiawatha is far superior in size and quality. 
A perfect com for the home table.

HENDERSON’S I New Meaty Tomato, : “TENDERLOIN.” 
(shown in color on the opposite page.) 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “Tenderloin” has 
superlative merit; it is a sturdy, healthy grower with distinc¬ 
tive bronzy-green foliage; it ripens its first fruits immediately 
following those of the early sorts, and from that time until 
frost, it is practically ever-bearing, yielding enormous quan¬ 
tities of Tomatoes, no other variety approaching it in produc¬ 
tiveness and particularly so late in the season. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “ Tenderloin ” bears 
fruit in clusters of from four to six ; the individual fruit, 4 to S’ 
inches in diameter, runs remarkably uniform in size and shape, 
being deep and solid, weighing about one pound each, 
or heavier than any other Tomato grown of equal size; the 
surface is very smooth, and never cracks; the color, a rich 
glossy blood-crimson, also permeates the flesh to the very heart; 
it ripens thoroughly, coloring up clear to the stem. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “ Tenderloin ” possesses 
one crowning merit: the phenomenal solidity of the flesh; even 
the seeds — which are small and few — are embedded in flesh of 
meaty firmness, in marked contrast to the cavities of watery 
pulp so usual in most other varieties. 
Henderson’s New Aleaty Tomato “ Tenderloin,” on ac¬ 
count of its “ solid-as-beefsteak ” character, combined with the 
splendid quality, gratifying flavor, granulated texture, rich 
red color of the flesh, and its appetizing appearance, is abso¬ 
lutely peerless for slicing, salads and table use generally, while 
it is equally superior for baking, boiling and domestic canning— 
the solidity of flesh and minimum of juice makes thickening 
unnecessary. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “Tenderloin,” as a 
market variety, we predict will become very popular; its general 
merit and handsome appearance can not but attract buyers, 
and it is so solid that it “holds up” well when shipped, even 
though it does not have the thick, tough skin heretofore con¬ 
sidered the most important requisite in a shipping Tomato. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “Tenderloin” when 
picked quite green will ripen up thoroughly. This will be of 
advantage late in the season when frosts are expected, for ripe 
and luscious “Tenderloin” Tomatoes may be enjoyed up to 
Thanksgiving and even later.
