THE TWO BEST POLE LIMAS GROWN 
LEVIATHAN SLv IDEAL KWo, 
Henderson's Early Leviathan 
Pole Lima Bean. 
ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN ANY! 
TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN MOST ! 
°f Sup er i° r Quality. Immense Size. Wonderfully Productive. 
ihis delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the 
length of season required to mature it, the early frosts com- 
mg 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. We cannot praise too highly the 
splendid 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 
are always well filled with the most delicious beans of 
beautiful green color. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. 
qt., $2.25 pk. 
-1 our Early Leviathan Pole Lima has done better than any of three 
other varieties grown by me; the season has been cold and wet, but the 
Leviathan Limas have given us great satisfaction.”

* * | THE BEST MAIN-CROP LIMA GROWN. ) 1 1— 11\ Lw ♦ 
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. 
(Jur Leviathan, offered above, is a notable example, among its excellent points being 
that of earlmess. 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 j 
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 15c. 
pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.75 pk. 
“/ wish to inform you of the results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Limas. 
For some years I have been making a specially of growing pole limas and have 
bought nearly every new variety offered by the different seedsmen; but we have 
never found any to compare with the Ideal for size , yield and Quality.”
