HEROINE PEA. 



OUR CUSTOMERS WRITE OF IT: 



" We much prefer the HEROINE." 



" The Choice of all Large-Podded, Wrinkled Peas." 



" Peas large, very prolific, often 10, sometimes 12, Peas to a Pod." 



"HEROINE PEA IS A MARVEL," 



" Fairly Melting in your Mouth for Sweetness." 



"Heroine" is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, combining 

 quantity and quality in a degree possessed by no other variety. 

 It grows uniformly about 2£ feet high, and is literally co\ i 

 with its long, heavy, pointed pods. In the cut we show the size 

 and form of the peas, which come 8 or 9 in a pod. 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. {Sec cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 

 $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 



"Your Heroine Peas are unequaled. I've read of such Peas in catalogues, 

 but did not believe it. We will luive more of the Heroine next mar." 



T. S. NORTHRUP, Hawley, Neb. 

 " 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 nnmi nf tin pens tin y were ■■■■• 

 relished. They do well as a second crop and are long-bearing. 



HENRY KENWARD, Stamford, Conn.

 them the finest peas thei/ have ever eaten." 



BEN J. I. MORRISON, Newburgh, X. Y.

 excellent qualitv. Price, 10c. J pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt.,

"/ wish to say a few words in praise of your Abundance Peas. They 

 came into bearing just a little later than Noll's Excelsior — but Abundance 

 was so much larger and finer, and it bears so long, too. We picked from 

 them all season." Mrs. C. L. GATES, Somerset, Pa. 



CHELSEA PEA. 



It grows about 15 inches in height and is of compact, 

 short-jointed habit, thus requiring no brushing or stak- 

 ing. The pods are remarkably handsome, being grace- 

 fully curved and much longer than any other early dwarf 

 kind. They are well filled, each containing 8 to 10 good- 

 sized wrinkled peas of exquisite quality, which, when 

 cooked, are rich, sugary, and of marrow-like flavor. 

 Price, 10c. \ pt., 20c. pt.,' 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.50 bush. 



"The Chelsea Pea — put out by Peter Henderson &■ Co. — while not 

 the earliest, proved to be the best table pea we have had this season. The 

 pods are long and simply jammed full of rich peas, and for the family 

 garden it would be difficult to find a better."
