V tr DO NOT FAIL TO TRY BEAN OF THE CENTURY^ THE HODSON 
T HIS new round-podded Dwarf Wax Bean, has attained the 
, top notch among beans of this class. It has been so highly 
bred and selected that it excels all others in its combina¬ 
tion of essential qualities, among which are remarkable uniformity 
in size and shape. It produces no culls, the pods average five to 
six inches in length, which is unusually large for a round-podded, 
wax variety; they are very solid, meaty and tender, free from 
string, breaking brittle, and the flavor is unsurpassed. These de¬ 
sirable table qualities are retained well on towards maturity, long 
after many other sorts have become too tough and stringy to use. 
The plant is everything desirable, bushy and robust, free from 
rust or mildew, and extremely prolific. Price, 15c. J pt., 25c. pt., 
35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 
Improved Golden Wax 
BUSH BEAN. 
The Standard Flat, Wax Podded Variety. 
Among the Yellow Wax-Podded or “Butter” Beans, the 
Golden Wax has'long been in popular favor, but this Improved 
variety by far surpasses the old favorite in several desirable 
points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy growth, not susceptible 
to rust, moderately early and very prolific. The pods are exceed¬ 
ingly handsome, large, uniformly broad, thick and almost all solid 
flesh, of good quality, tender and brittle, absolutely without 
string or coarse fibre at all stages until maturity, while the color is 
of a rich golden-yellow. Although not .the earliest dwarf wax 
bean, its reliability in producing a heavy crop of large handsome 
pods, whether sown in spring, summer or early fall, renders it 
highly valuable for both home and market planting. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. \ pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. 
Henderson’s Golden Scimitar 
LONQ-POD SisS BEAN. 
ENORMOUS PLANT. ENORMOUS POD. 
ENORMOUS YIELDER. 
NEVER AFFECTED BY RUST AND BLIGHT. 
This distinct new type of bean is remark¬ 
able for its great size of plant and pod and 
wonderful productiveness. It will out- 
yield any other bush bean two to one on 
a given area. The strong, sturdy plants 
often attain dimensions 2 J feet in height, 
and bear great quantities of long, meaty 
pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length and 
of a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample 
foliage sheltering the pods from the hot 
sun renders them exceptionally tender, 
brittle, and if picked before too old they 
are stringless, free from fibre and of fine 
table quality. 
This variety is absolutely immune from 
bean diseases. Not a trace of rust, blight 
or mildew has ever appeared on a plant 
or pod in our trial grounds or fields during 
the three years we have been growing it— 
and the past season was especially favor¬ 
able for developing rust and blight on 
beans. ’The Hodson Long Pod Wax comes 
in about 2 weeks after the earliest dwarf 
varieties, but for main crop it is destined 
to become important for both the private 
table and for market growers on account 
of its phenomenal vigor and productive¬ 
ness. The plants should be thinned out to 
at least 6 inches apart in the rows on 
account of the great size of the plants.
