S^, THE SENATOR. 



Americans visiting England during "green pea season" are delighted 

 with the surpassing quality of the English Marrow Peas; appetizing, 

 rich, tender, sweet and satisfying; once tasted, always remembered. 

 Most varieties of these luscious English Peas are very exclusive. 

 Having been bred in a cool, moist climate, they resent heat and 

 drought. Yet, occasionally among our extensive annual trials we 

 find a variety that thrives under our American conditions. Such 

 a one is The Senator, which we iiave grown for four years to 

 further test and acclimate it, and now offer it to our patrons with 

 full confidence that it will give thorough satisfaction in every section 

 where peas thrive. 



The Senator Pea grows from 3 to 4 feet high and bears a 

 surprisingly large quantity of large, handsome pods, filled almost to 

 bursting with great succulent peas — as big as small marbles — and of 

 superb quality, which is maintained even through the hot, trying 

 weeks of July. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt.; 25c. pt.; 40c. qt.; $2.75

Henderson's HEKOINE PEA. 



Peas large, very prolific, often 10, sometimes 12 peas to a pod. 

 Delicious, melting quality. 

 Heroine is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, combining quan- 

 tity and quality in a degree surpassed by no other variety. It grows 

 uniformly about 2\ feet high, and is literally covered with its long, 

 heavy, pointed pods. The quality of this pea is simply perfection — 

 that rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for which the peas grown in the 

 gardens of Old England are celebrated. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. 

 qt., $2.25 pk.. $8.00 bush. 



" This is the first year I have grown your Heroine Pea and I think it is a wonder; 

 Miss Hitch asked me to send them some nice peas for some special occasion. I sent the 

 Heroine, and I was sent for to give them the name of the peas — they were so relished. 

 Then do well as a second crop and are long-bearing."

Henderson's Dwarf Early Pea, 



MELTING MARROW. 



This is one of the best of the recent English introductions. 

 Our stock has been thoroughly acclimatized and perfectly 

 selected, and is therefore admirably adapted for culture in the U.S. 

 It is peculiarly fitted to resist the trying weather conditions of 

 the American summer, and yet it retains all the fine qualities of 

 flavor and tenderness which have made English peas so famous. 



Henderson's Melting Marrow Pea is early, but not the 

 earliest Pea grown ; it follows immediately after the extra early 

 sorts, thus filling in the gap between these and the midsummer 

 varieties, though by successive sowings Melting Marrow Peas 

 may be long enjoyed. 



The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing about 15 

 inches high, with sturdy branching stalks that are practically 

 self-supporting, so that trellis or brush is not essential, though 

 low brush or crossed sticks, if convenient, will not be misapplied. 

 The massive pods are produced in prodigal abundance from 

 ground to summit, and are packed with from six to eight im- 

 mense wrinkled marrow Peas of a rich green color, which hue is 

 maintained when cooked, thus appearing especially attractive 

 when served, while the delicious quality and superb rich flavor 

 is unequaled by any Pea of American origin. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bu. 



" Your new dwarf pea. Melting Marrow, is certainly the finest pea in 

 existence. I do not believe there is another pea that can compare with it for 

 eirlincsi, size and flavor. I made the first planting on May 15th, and on 

 June 29th {just 45 days), I picked the first mess, and they were the sweetest, 

 tendcrcst and most delicious peas that we ever tasted. They are all and more than 

 you claim for them."
