157 DWARF ALDERMAN 

 Possesses Outstanding Qualifications 



A Rugged Constitution, Beautiful Large Well-formed Pods, 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 4}£ 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.
