HENDERSON’S “ PALMETTO ” ASPARAGU8. 
ASPARAGUS 
1 oz. for 60 ft. of drill. For culture see page 10. 
Henderson’s “Palmetto.” 
Larger, Earlier, more Regular and Even in Size, and 
more prolific than any other Asparagus Grown. 
The Palmetto is superior to any other As¬ 
paragus; it is not only much earlier, but is 
also a better yielder, and is more even and regular in 
its growth. Average bunches, containing 15 shoots, 
measure 13l£ inches in circumference and weigh about 2 
pounds. The Palmetto is equally well adapted for all 
sections North and South; it is less susceptible to the 
Asparagus disease than any other variety, and has con¬ 
tinued to yield profitable crops in sections where plain a- 
tions of other varieties have been entirely devastated. 
Its quality is unequaled. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. cz.,

“LONOFELLOW ” 
BU8H BEAN. 
“LONGFELLOW" 
GREEN 
PODDED 
BUSH BEAN 
“Longfellow” 
Bean. 
Long green pods. Exceedingly prolific. Always solid. Delicious 
flavor. Wonderfully tender. Remarkably early. 
This is an ideal String Bean. The pods are 
inches long, pale, soft green in color, perfectly straight 
and round. They are free from that woolly inner lin¬ 
ing of tough skin which we associate with old beans, 
and what little string exists is not developed until the 
pod is quite old. The liavor is most delicious, and it 
has the peculiarity of preserving its delicate color 
almost intact when prepared for the table. It is re¬ 
markably early, boing ready for use four days in 
advance of any variety of merit. Its bearing qualities 
are unexcelled, and it matures its crop very regularly, 
even under adverso conditions. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 
20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 peck, $8.00 bush. 
••/ take this opportunity of giving you my experience with 
Longfellow Hush Heim. It was sown on the same date with Early 
Six Weeks anil other‘Earliest’ beans. I gathered my tlrst. table 
beans from the latter tint only three days ahead of the Longfel¬ 
low but from the time of picking best beans from the Longfellow 
everything else lias been discarded by (lea. Hrown's family, awl the only 
bean thev will li n e on the table is Longfellow. Emm four rows I have 
been gathering daily for three weeks in large quantity, and the vines are 
still hearing heavily. 1 am glad to endorse it; it is the best bean I have 
'grown in twenty years'practice."
