OUR EXPERIENCE 
As seedsmen, for OVER HALF A CENe 
TURY, we have never received so many 
eulogistic letters about any one vege- 
table as for Henderson’s . . 
“PROSPERITY” PEA. 
Space only permits us to print the following: 
“When I saw your advertisement of ‘PROSPERITY’ 
PEAS, I ordered seed from you. They proved prolific 
producers, the many pods developed alength of 442 inches, 
and, when shelled, turned out from eight to ten large 
Peas from a pod; they were a surprise; the earliest large 
Pea 1 ever knew; with early planting they will mature 
here by the 15th to 20th ofJune. They are the sweetest, 
tenderest, and most delicious Pea I ever ate.” 
JAMES R. SLAUSON, Racine, Wis. 
“1 had a fullerop of ‘Prosperity’ Peasin exactly 48 days 
from planting last spring, and unlike the usual ‘Extra 
Early’ they were as full, wrinkled, and sweet as any late 
pea I ever tasted, better than even the ‘Champion of 
England,’ which has always been my ‘hobby.’ They are 
all you claim, and in fature I do not intend to plant 
any other kind.” 
CHARLES W. BOWMAN, Brownsville, Pa. 
“My ‘Prosperity’ Peas are a sight to behold. I picked 
my first on the 7th of June; from the small extra early 
ones, just one day ahead. I planted them the same day. 
When they become known they will displace all other 
early Peas. As good asthe best lates and as early as the 
earliest.”” ROBERT BIRCH, 
Market Gardener, Plymouth, Mich. 
“T picked ‘Prosperity’ Pea on the 18th of June. It is 
far superior to any early Pea I have ever grown; there 
are eight and bine fine large peas to a pod. It certainly 
is a very fine Pea.” JAMES HORROCKS, 
Manager, Crumwold Farms, Hyde Park, N. Y.

E have never yet been able to offer to our patrons an early Pea 
which possessesin a marked degree more desirable qualities. On 
both sides of the Atlantic, specialists in Pea culture have been 
struggling with the problem how to combine fine quality and pro- 
ductiveness with earliness. It must be conceded that hitherto all these efforts 
have failed, inasmuch as we have only been able to offer for very early use the 
round or hard-shell types of ‘‘ Extra Early Peas.” These have a value pecu- 
liarly their own, but the quality is far below what we would wish. We feel 
confident that at last a variety has been secured which combines earliness 
with all the good features of the later ‘‘marrow’”’ varieties, viz.: delicious 
flavor, tenderness, sweetness, size and productiveness. 
This variety has had very thorough and exhaustive trials conducted in 
various latitudes and under varied conditions, therefore we have no hesitancy 
in making the most extravagant claims for its merits, which are supported by 
the opinions of expert gardeners. 
i “‘Prosperity’’ Pea grows about 214 feet in height; the vine is robust, and 
the foliage is large and vigorous, closely resembling Telephone in general ap- 
‘pearance, though dwarfer and very much earlier. The pods, which are as 
Jarge as Telephone, are produced in great abundance, and are well filled 
with from six to ten peas of enormous size, but, as we have stated, its chief 
value lies in its earliness and delicious flavor; when we consider that a pea so 
large and as rich in flavor as any of the later wrinkled sorts can be had three 
days after Henderson’s First of All, the best and earliest round or hard-shell variety, 
its value can be readily seen. 
Among those who grow peas for their own use exclusively, there are many 
who plant only the extra early types, because our short spring and hot summers 
are not conducive to the free growth of the later varieties. It is to this class 
of growers that we recommend this variety with confidence. They can now 
obtain early in the season, while climatic conditions are favorable, as de- 
licious peas as is possible under any circumstances in this country or any 
other. l5c. 14 pint, 30c. pint, 50c. quart, $3.50 peck.
