HENDERSON’S EARLY LEVIATHAN 
* POLE LIMA BEAN. = 
ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN ANY! . , . 
TWO WEEKS EARLIER TfiAN MOST! 
Of Superior Quality. Immense Size. Wonderfully Productive, 
This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the 
length of season rc<iuii-ed to mature it, the early frosts com¬ 
ing 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. AVe cannot praise too highly the 
s])lendid quality and enormous productiveness of this peer¬ 
less variety. The pods grow in large clusters — we have 
frequently seen from 5 to 10 in a cluster,—and they 
arc always well lilled with the most delicious beans (if 
beautiful green color. Price, 16c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. 
qt., $2.50 pk.

HENDERSON’S NEW POLE 
THE BEST MAIN CROP LIMA GROWN. 
OLD HOMESTEAD, Or, IMPROVED KENTUCKY WONDER 
GREEN=PODDED SNAP POLE BEAN 
A marvel of Productiveness from July until frost Large, thick, stringless 
pods, meaty, tender and delicious. 
1 his best and most popular green-podded snap pole bean is a marvel of continued 
productiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green pole bean. First pick¬ 
ings may be mmlc in this latitude early in July, and if the pods are gathered as they 
become ready for snaps, the vine will continue to jiroduce 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, S to 10 inches in length, entirely 
stringless, ])lump, 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, 15c. pkt., 26c.pt., 40c. qt.-, $2.25 pk. 
"I bought some of your ‘Old Homestead' Heans Inst season. The pods were nearly one foot long and 
very tender for succotash; /or (juality ami productiveness it beats any pole bean I ever saw "

The Two Best Pole Limas Grown! 
Leviathan for Early. Idea! for Main Crop. 
LIMA BEAN, 
Ideal. 
Enormously Prolific. Beans of Gigantic Size. Quality, Tenderness and Flavor Superb. 
There have been several special types and selections of the Livorite old large White 
Lima put on the market, most of which have been improvements in one way or another. 
Our Leviathan, offered above, 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 sixe of pod and bean, productiveness and quality, it pro¬ 
duces 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 arc 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 tlie ])olc coming 
in before frost. The plant is of rugged constitution, which carries 
it through wet spells without injury. The superb cjuality, tender¬ 
ness 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 ctU.) Price 16c. 
pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk.
