MARROW PEAS IN 
EARLY JUNE! 
As soon as you have 
heretofore had _ the 
ordinary early kinds. 
his grand, extra early, large-podded 
wrinkled marrow Pea—introduced into 
America by us in 1897—has each year in- 
creased in popular favor, not only steadily 
but with whirlwind rapidity. ‘‘Once grown 
it is thereafter indispensable,’’ is the way 
one of our customers puts it, and it would 
seem as if everyone who plants our Prosper- 
ity Pea recommends it to his neighbors, for 
the demand ‘upon us for the seed has annu- 
ally increased to such an extent that we have 
never yet been able to reserve a sufficient 
supply for stock seed purposes to allow us to 
catch up with the demand. 
The distinctive merits of Henderson’s 
Prosperity Pea over any other variety are its 
extreme earliness combined with its abun- 
dant production of immense pods, each filled 
with from 6 to 10 true, large, wrinkled mar- 
row peas of the most delicious flavor—as 
large, as sweet and as tender as the finest 
late wrinkled marrow pea grown. When 
one considers peas of this superior size and 
quality are ready for picking only a day 
or two later than the little round-seeded 
hard-shell ‘‘Extra Earlies,’’ one realizes 
what a valuable acquisition our Prosperity 
Pea really is. 
The vine of Prosperity is of vigorous, ro- 
bust growth, about 24 feet high, heavy-stem- 
med with luxuriant healthy foliage; it bears 
uniformly large, handsome pods of large and 
luscious peas, and although it commences 
bearing so very early it continues for a long 
time; the peas also remain sweet and tender 
for some time after they are fit to pick. (See 
cut.) 15c. %pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $3.00 pk., 
$11.00 bush. 
In our experience as seedsmen, for over half a century, we have never received so many eulogistic letters about 
any one vegetable as for Henderson’s PROSPERITY PEA. Space only permits us to print the following: 
“Thad a full crop of‘ Prosperity’ Peas in exactly “My ‘Prosperity’ Peas are a sight to behold. I| ‘‘ Your‘ Prosperity’ Peas proved prolific; the many
