HENDERSONS EARLY 
LEVIATHAN POLE LlflA. 
Of Superior Quality. 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 
js ready to pick. Leviathan is one week earlier than any large Pole 
Lima yet offered and two weeks earlier than most, consequentlv it 
will prove a boon to thousands of growers. We cannot praise too 
highly the splendid quality and enormous produc¬ 
tion 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, 16c. \ pt., 26c. pt. 40c. qt., $2.50 pk .

12th and Oiey were coming up May 16th, and grew so rapidly

the table July 26th; we are still picking (, September 17th), and 
young beans still forming .” 71

“I had the earliest Limas on the market in this city, receiving 
60c. a quart for them. ^ They were your Early Leviathan .” 
LOUIS R. SMITH, Takoma Park, D. C. 
“The Leviathan Lima Beans I got from you last spring are 
the best ever. No variety I have tried equals them.” 
S. SCOTT, Ridgefield, Conn. 
“ 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 
\v Q ut j. e * Tima. Asa general thing, the large 
White Limas will not ripen in this cold climate; with 
1 eviathan there will be no trouble. I can but con¬ 
gratulate you on its introduction .”

HENDERSON’S NEW 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, 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 size 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 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, 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 cut.) Price, 
20c. \ pt., 30c. pt. 60c. qt., $3.00 pk.
