EVERYTHING FOR TIE GARPEM - Vegetable Seeds
THE
TWO
BEST
Pole Lima
BEANS
GROWN
Henderson s Leviathan
THE EARLIEST POLE LIMA GROWN
ABUNDANTLY PKOLIFIC - - - DELICIOUS BUTTERY FLAVOR
Notwithstanding the popularity of the Bush Lima Beans, there are still
many growers who prefer the pole varieties. These are, as a class, later
than the bush sorts, and consequently in some localities there is a difficulty
in maturing the crop. In Northern States, or where, by reason of con-
tinued cool nights, the growth is less rapid, Leviathan will be found ad
mirably adapted.
The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any other
sort. It is fully a week earlier than
any other pole variety, therefore
can be grown successfully where
other sorts would be caught
by frosts of early autumn.
Moreover, it is a prodigious
cropper, producing its pods
in large clusters from base
to top of pole, frequently from 5
to 10 together. These are well-filled
with large, fleshy Beans of excellent
quality, delicate, pale green in color,
and possessing in a superlative de-
gree that rich, buttery flavor so
highly esteemed by all. (See cut.)
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt.,
$1.40 for 4 qts., $2.50 pk.
"All the seeds you have sent me have come
up with the usual astonishing rapidity,
the Early Leviathan Pole Lima Bean
beating- the record. They were sown a
week ago last Saturday, and the following
Thursday were above ground."
Mrs. LOUISE C. WALKER,
Eden Valley, N. Y.
"I am more enthusiastic than ever about your Early
Pole Lima Bean. It has proven a bonanza to the northt
^t
Leviathan
northern planter
where the Lima season is short, as its earliness and unusual produc-
tiveness assure a sure crop."
W. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 1
" Your Early Leviathan Pole Lima has done better than any of
three other varieties grown by me; the season has been cold and
but the Leviathan Limas have given us great satisfaction."
I. L. POWELL, Gardener to Samuel Thome, Esq.,
Millbrook, N. Y.
"I thought you might like to hear of my continued success with your Leviathan Lima
Bean. It is simply grand. I have planted other varieties, but so far have found none
equal to yours." EDWARD HOLLESTER, Avondale Ave., St. Louis, Mo.
"I have raised your Leviathan Lima Beans this season and can hardly word my praise
for them. The Beans were fit for the table by the middle of August and were very fine
and productive." Mrs. E. H. J. GRAVES, Ausable Forks, N. Y.
Henderson's ^IaVT Ideal
THE BEST MAIN CROP LIMA GROWN-ENORMOUSLY PROLIFIC
OF GIGANTIC SIZE TENDERNESS AND FLAVOR SUPERB
This is another sterling variety of our own introduction, which attains an enormous size, with a degree of
productiveness which is extremely rare. The pods are amazingly large, and are borne in great clusters.
There is great satisfaction in producing such large pods, yet, under ordinary conditions, any one can do
so, by planting Henderson's Ideal.
The vine does not differ materially from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies
in the size of the pods, which hang in wonderful profusion on the vines.
Not only are the pods singularly large, but -the average yield is greater than in any other variety,
which, taken in conjunction with the great size of the individual Beans, gives a net crop of really
remarkable proportions.
Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordinary pole varieties,
and continues to produce enormous crops of 'the best-flavored Beans, right up to frost. (See
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.50 for 4 qts., $2.75 pk.
" I feel so proud of the Ideal Lima, that I want to thank you for my success. I entered 40 pods with five and
six Beans to the pod at the New Jersey Horticultural Show at Orange and received First Prize against six other
Lima growers." FRED M. REINHARDT, Gardener to Mrs. F. Cummings, W. Orange, N. J.
"I wish to inform you of the results obtained from the Henderson Ideal Pole Lima Beans purchased from you
last season. For some years I have made a specialty of Lima Beans and have purchased everything new offered
by the different seedsmen. I have never found among any of them anything to compare with the Ideal for size,
yield ana quality." F. S. WHITE, St. Louis, Mo.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise.

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
