HENDERSON'S
BOUNTIFUL BEAN
A FLAT, GREEN^PODDED BUSH BEAN
A PROLIFIC AND CONTINUOUS BEAREK
THE FIRST IN SPRING— THE LAST IN FALL
ABSOLUTELY STKINGLESS— VERY TENDEK
AND OF DELICIOUS FLAVOK
This superior variety, introduced by us, is a
distinct improvement in green Bush Beans and
has become exceedingly popular wherever known.
Our customers who have grown it are enthu-
siastic in its praise; some of them say, "You do
not praise it half enough." The plant is remark-
ably handsome and of thrifty growth, being practi-
cally rust and mildew proof. It is very hardy,
extremely early, very prolific and bears continuously
for several weeks ; it is the first to give pods fit to pick
in the spring, and the last to yield edible pods in the
fall.
But the crowning merit of this grand Bush Bean is in
the rich green pods, which are of immense size, thick,
broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty and
of high quality, meltingly tender and having a delicious fla-
vor exclusively their own. Moreover, the pods are absolutely
stringless and entirely free from any tough, membranous lining,
not only when young, but this tender "snap brittle" quality is re-
tained even into maturity.
We advise leaving a few of the older pods to be used as green shell Beans,
in which condition they are most palatable. It is equally valuable as a dry
shelled Bean. One of our customers writes us that she "finds it most excellent shelled for winter use,
after it is ripe." (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt, 35c. qt., S1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 pk.
"We ordered your Bountiful Bush Beans last spring and
have been delighted with results, having enjoyed fine Beans all
summer. We want to order more.'*
"I have never failed to obtain first prize with Henderson's
Bountiful Beans wherever exhibited."
LEO ZEITEN, Weimar, Tex.
"Have raised the Bountiful Bean for many years and it is just
wonderful. It is rightly named."
A. B. KNAPP, Taunton, Mass.
"Your Bountiful Bean is the best on earth."
M. M. LINDSAY, Ripley, Tenn.
GEORGE L. FURSE, St Louis, Mo.
"I must tell you that your Bountiful Beans never fail to give
satisfaction. I feel like an agent for them for I can't praise
them too much."
Mrs. H. C. JEWETT, Washington, D. C.
HENDERSON'S FULL MEASURE
NEW, ROUND
GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN
The efforts of modern hybridizers
in improving the quality of gar-
den Beans, have resulted, in
many cases, in entirely eliminat- ;g
ing the objectionable string. We iff
have done more than our share
of this work, having been suc-
cessful in developing many varie-
ties which have taken a permanent
place in the esteem of careful grow-
ers. Full Measure is the result of a cross
between our famous Yosemite Mam-
moth Wax and Refugee or 1,000 to 1, and
inherits the good qualties of both. It
is a thoroughly-bred stringless variety
of excellent quality. Pods are 5 inches
long, round, firm, but tender, very meaty,
and remain fit for use many days after
maturity. .See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c.
pt., 35c. qt, $1.20 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.
"Full Measure Beans surpass any I ever planted.
I have been gardening about 40 years, and have
tried a great many kinds."
J. P. RITOSH,
Charlotte, N. C.

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. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

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 work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


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.
