PETER HENDERSON & CO. -VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 



Eeppep, "Cardinal' 



{Novelty, 1890.) 

 A very distinct variety, growing from 5 

 inches in length, being about 2 inches broad 

 at the top and tapering to a point. This 

 Pepper is slightly scimetar-shaped and 

 is a glossy bright red color. Very sweet 

 and thick fleshed. 



Price, 20c. per pkt. ; 6 pkts. for $1.00 ; 

 SI. 50 per oz. 



NEW RADISH, "ELDORADO." 



NEW PEA, "Chelsea." 



(Novelty, 1890.) 



This fine new Dwarf Pea will be appreciated by all growers of early dwarf kinds, 

 owing to its remarkable earliness and splendid quality. The plant grows 1 foot in 

 height, and is of compact short-jointed habit; it is as early as American Wonder and 

 earlier than Little Gem, and gives a much larger crop than either of these sorts, bear- 

 ing in pairs from the bottom to the top an abundance of handsome pods, which are 

 half as long again as those of any other first early dwarf kind. The pods are remark- 

 ably well filled, each containing eight to ten good sized peas of first-rate quality, 

 which, when cooked, are rich, sugary, and of marrow-like flavor. (See cut.) 



Price, 50 cts. per pt. ; 75 cts. per qt. 



New (Sugar) Peb, "MElting Sugar." 



In a large and complete test of Sugar Peas made in our trial 

 grounds, we found this variety to stand ahead of all others, not 

 only in size of pod and prolific bearing, but also for its delicious 

 quality. It grows to the height of five to six feet, bears 

 a profusion of large, broad pods, which are gener- 

 ally found in pairs, and which are so brittle that 

 they snap without any string. Being an edible 

 podded variety, it should be used in much the same 

 way as a Wax Bean. The pods when cooked are 

 very sweet and tender. (See cut.) Price, 50 cts. 

 m^- per pint; 80 cts. per qt. ; S5.00 per peck. 



ECKFORD'S NEW PEA, 



" Shropshire Hero." 



(Novelty, 1890.) 



This valuable, new, second-early, wrinkled pea, 

 like most of our best varieties, is of British origin, 

 being the result of careful hybridization at the 

 hands of Mr. Eckford, so well known for his excel- 

 lent strains of Sweet Peas. It is a robust grower, 

 about 2}^ feet high, producing long, handsome and 

 well filled pods in abundance. Flavor exquisite. 

 We recommend it to the notice of market garden- 

 ers especially, to whom it will prove an acquisition. 

 This Pea was awarded a certificate of the first class 

 by the Koyal Horticultural Society in England. 

 All lovers of Peas should try it. Stock limited. 



Price, 75 cts. per pt. ; $1.00 per qt. ; $5.00 per 

 peck. 



The Yellow 



(Novelty, 1890.) 

 Eadishes 



are now 



MELTING SUGAB PEA. 



coming into more 

 general use, as they make 

 •pretty contrast mingled with the 

 red varieties on the table. This 

 novelty is identical with the old 

 favorite Scarlet Turnip Badish 

 in shape, size and quality, but is 

 a golden yellow color. Very dis- 

 tinct and desirable. (See cut.) 

 Price, 15 cts. per pkt. ; 40 cts. per oz. 



Rew Geleslial R§disfy 



(Novelty, 1890.) 

 A distinct novelty, the stock of which was imported 

 direct from China. It is ready for use when 2>£ or 3 

 inches long and continues until nearly 6 inches long, 

 making it almost an all seasons' Badish. The flesh is 

 firm and solid and pure white, and is very attractive 

 in appearance. It may be grown successfully either in 

 the open ground or for forcing in frames. (See cut.) 

 Price, 15 cts. per pkt. ; 40 cts. per oz. ; $1.25 per % lb. 



The seeds you sent arrived in splendid condition. The 

 "Mikado" is the finest Tomato I ever raised. Your "First of 

 All" Peas are grand. From the peck I bought of you last year 

 I realized over $60.00, besides .' s bushel of seed. I shall never 

 buy of anv other seed-house as long as I can get seed from 

 yours.— R. W. Cbone, Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 2d, 1889.
