NEW EXTRA EARLY PEA-HENDERSON'S FIRST OF ALL. 



Foi several years we have supplied limited quantities of this extra early Pea to growers for market in our im- 

 mediate 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 on* patrons, particularly our market garden friends, would during the season write and give us 

 their opinion of it. It is 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 in its earliness consists its great value to market 

 gardeners. Our trial book for 18S3 shows that this stock was tit to pick on the 5th of June, which was fully a week 

 earlier than any of our other extra early Peas. 



20c. per quart; $1.25 per peck ; $4 50 per bushel. 



NEW DWARF PEA-"AMERICAN WONDER." 



(True, and grown from original stock.) 



A large supply of this most desirable 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 a cross between the Cliampion of England and Little 

 Gem; it is one of the earliest wrinkled Peas in cultivation, of the finest quality and wonderfully. productive; its great 

 distinctive 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 as it appeared in our Trial Grounds two years 

 ago. 



Price, 25 cts. per quart; $1.75 per peck; $6 00 per bushel.
