157 DWARF ALDERMAN 

 Possesses Outstanding Qualifications 



A Rugged Constitution, Beautiful Large Well-formed Pads, Exceptional Quality 



The Henderson standard of perfection set up by our founder many years ago has proven 

 a barrier to many inferior vegetable introductions. To pass this barrier an item must 

 possess outstanding qualifications. Our tests of Dwarf Alderman have not only let down 

 the bars for it, but have aroused our enthusiasm to such an extent that we feel confident 

 it will prove its value wherever grown. 



Possessing the rugged constitution of the tall-growing late varieties, it reaches a height 

 of only 20 inches, but is correspondingly sturdy and bushy. The pods, which are borne 

 in profusion, average 4J^ inches long; they are dark green and pointed. The pods invari- 

 ably contain 7 to 8 large rich-green peas of an exceptional quality; they are sweet and 

 delicious. For a main crop garden pea, it has no superior. (See illustration.)

151 AMERICAN CHAMPION (Henderson's) 



Extra large pods, liberally filled with Peas of great size and of particularly good flavor. 

 It does not come into use until the end of the season and, as it grows from 4 to 5 feet high, 

 the vines need some support, but it well repays both the waiting and the extra labor, for, 

 properly cared for, it bears an extremely bountiful crop of the most delicious Peas.

 and commercial growers for its pro- 

 ductivity and ease of cultivation. The

 high.

180 ONWARD 



Main Crop Garden Pea 



(See Color Plate Page 68) 



This variety is undoubtedly a very 

 distinct and valuable addition to the 

 mid-season varieties. It is fit for the 

 table just before Telephone, and bears 

 a very heavy crop of pods 4 inches 

 long, large, broad, straight, and blunt 

 at the ends; always filled with from 

 6 to 8 dark green sweetly flavored peas. 

 Although it does not grow as tall as 

 Telephone, its vigorous constitution 

 is such that it is practically immune 

 to blight; consequently, it bears a large 

 crop, as the bearing season is carried 

 over a long period of time. Considered 

 by experts to be decidedly the best 

 pea recently introduced. Height, 

 2 y 2 to 3 feet.
