Henderson's Heroine Pea. 



There have been so many new varieties of Peas offered by seedsmen in the last few years 

 that planters have become somewhat skeptical of the merits of new aspirants for public favor, 

 but the Heroine has been a conspicuous exception. In fact, no new pea since the introduction 

 of " American "Wonder" has created such a sensation. Every one who sees it wants it — seeds- 

 man, market gardener and amateur ; in fact, we refused orders from dealers for hundreds of 

 bushels last fall in order to have enough stock for our own retail trade this spring. It is 

 far superior to all other varieties of Peas, and it combines quantity and quality in a degree 

 possessed by no other variety. The Heroine is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, grows 

 uniformly about two and one-half feet high and is literally covered with its long, heavy, pointed 

 pods — in fact, so striking and distinct is this variety that it would be picked out at once in a 

 field of one hundred other varieties. In the cut above we show the size and form of the 

 peas, which come eight to nine 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.

Henderson's Delieata Squash. 



The ground color of this beautiful Squash is orange yellow, splashed 

 and striped with very dark green. The quality is particularly fine ; the 

 flesh is rich and dry. For private use, particularly, we can recommend this 

 Squash, as it far surpasses in richness of flavor any of the large, old- 

 fashioned sorts. The Delieata is the earliest of any vine Squash that we 

 have ever tested and is so prolific that last season, from twelve hills of two 



plants each, 352 perfect Squashes were 

 gathered. Although of small size, 

 this variety is wonderfully solid and 

 heavy, the seed cavities being very 

 small. In our trial grounds last season, 

 we probably had 100 varieties and 

 stocks of Squashes under test, but of 

 all this number not one produced as 

 many Squashes as the Delieata. 



One great distinctive feature of this 

 Squash is its extreme earliness ; it 

 matures about the same time as the 

 Summer Squashes, and for early use 

 will doubtless supplant this watery, 

 tasteless class, while its extreme 

 solidity renders it fully as good a 

 keeper as any of the winter varieties. 

 The Delieata is an "all season" 

 Squash in a remarkable degree. We 

 can highly recommend it. (See cut.)
