THIS grand, extra early, large-podded 

 wrinkled marrow Pea — introduced into 

 America by us in 1897 — has each year 

 increased 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 2h 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 thev are fit to pick.

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: 



"/ had a full crop of 'Prosperity' Peas in 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 heen my 

 'hobby.' They are all you claim, and in future I do 

 not intend to plant any other kind." 



CHARLES W. BOW MAX. Brownsville. Pa. 



"My 'Prosperity' Peas are a sight to behold. I 

 picked my first on the 7th of June, (a small e.rtra early 

 one, just one day ahead). I planted them the same 

 day. When they beconu known they ■■■■ 11 d splace all 

 other early peas. As good as the best lates and as early 

 as the earliest." 



ROBERT BIRCH. 

 Market Gardener, Plymouth, Mich. 



"Your 'Prosperity' Peas proved prolific: the many 

 pods developed a length of 4*6 inches, and, when shelled, 

 turned out from ci(]ht to ten large peas from a pod; 

 they were a surprisi I ever knew. 



They are the sweetest tenderest and most delicious Pea 

 I ever ate."
