NEW EXTRA EARLY PEA—HENDERSON’S FIRST OF ALL. 
For several years we have supplied limited quantities of this extra early Pea to growers for market in our immediate 
vicinity, and in every case the reports that have reached us unite in pronouncing it earlier than any other sort they had 
grown. Nearly all the trials that were made were comparative,and made alongside the best stocks of Improved Daniel 
O'Rourke, Philadelphia Extra Early, Caractacus, and other varieties of the same class, and in every instance ‘ First of 
All’ sustained the name we gave it. This year we are enabled to offer it in a general way, and we would be pleased if our 
patrons, particularly our market garden friends, would during the season write and give us their opinion of it. Itis fully 6 
inches dwarfer than the Improved Daniel O’Rourke, produces pods of good size and well-filled with peas of excellent flavor; 
it is a prodigious bearer, and ripens up so thoroughly as not to require more than two pickings to clear off the crop. In this 
last feature and inits earliness consists its great value to market gardeners. Our trial book for 1883 shows that this stock 
was fit to pick on the 5th of June, which was fully a week earlier than any of our other extra early Peas. 
30 cts. per quart; $2.00 per peck; $7.50 per bushel. 
NEW DWARF PEA—* AMERICAN WONDER.” 
(True, and grown from original stock.) 
A large supply of this most aesirable Pea enables us to offer it this year at as low prices as any of the older varie- 
ties are sold at. American Wonder is a seedling, the result of across between the Champion of England and Little 
Gem; it is one of the earliest wrinkled Peas in cultivation, of the finest quality and wonderfully productive; its great dis- 
tinctive feature, however. is its compact and dwarf growth, seldom exceeding ten inches in height. Our illustration, which has 
been widely imitated, was taken from an actual sketch of it asit appeared in our Trial Grounds two years ago. 
Price, 30 cts. per quart; $2.00 per peck; $7.50 per bushel.
