HENDERSON'S 



PROSPERITY PEA. 



The Earliest and Sweetest 

 Wrinkled Marrow Pea Grown! 



S&37SI The Senator. 



Americans visiting England during "green pea 

 season" are delighted with the surpassing quality 

 of the English Marrow Peas; appetizing, rich, ten- 

 der, sweet and satisfying; once tasted, always re- 

 membered. Most varieties of these luscious English 

 Peas are very exclusive. Having been bred in a 

 cool, moist climate, they resent heat and drought. 

 Yet, occasionally among our extensive annual trials 

 we find a variety that thrives under our American 

 conditions. Such a one is The Senator, which we 

 have grown for three years to further test and ac- 

 climate it, and now offer it to our patrons with full 

 confidence that it will give thorough satisfaction in 

 every section where peas thrive. 



The Senator Pea grows from 3 to 4 feet high and 

 bears a surprisingly large quantity of large, handsome 

 pods, filled almost to bursting with great succulent 

 peas — as big as small marbles — and of superb qual- 

 ity; the sweet buttery flavor of the true English 

 Marrow Peas, which quality is maintained even 

 through the hot, trving weeks of July. 



Price, 15c. pkt.;' 30c. pt,; 50c* qt.; $3.50 peck. 



As Soon as You have Hereto- 

 fore had the Ordinary Early- 

 Kinds. .. .. .. .. 



HIS grand, extra early, large-podded, 

 wrinkled marrow Pea — introduced 

 into America by us in 1S97 — 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 every one who 

 plants our Prosperity Pea recommends it 

 to his neighbors, for the demand upon 

 us for the seed has annually 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 



abundant production of immense pods, 



each filled with from 6 to 10 true, large, 



wrinkled marrow peas of the most delicious 



flavor — as large, as sweet and as tender 



as the finest late wrinkled marrow pea 



grown. When one considers that 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, robust growth, about 2\ feet 

 high, heavy-stemmed with luxuriant health}"- 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. {See cut.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $2.50 pk'., $9.00 bush. 



PURCHASERS PRAISE PROSPERITY PEAS: 



" We had your Prosperity Peas last year and thought them the best we had ever eaten." 



Mrs. W. J. CA TES, Island Park. Pa.

 days from planting." W. 0. CHURCH, Wolcott, X. Y. 



"I have beaten my whole neighborhood with mi/ Prosperity Peas." 



LLOYD if. MAYER. Linden Farm. Portsmouth. R. I. 

 " We think your Prosperity Peas are grand, and every one that has eaten Hum th inks so. too." 



Miss IDA A. MELI.EX, McLean. .V. Y. 

 "Henderson's Prosperity Peas are most delicious to taste and beautiful to look upon. 1 

 never saw such peas. Don't think we shall plant any other hereafter." 



Mrs. J. E. RIXGLAXD. W. Woodstock. Conn. 

 "I really feci that it is due you to tell you that we had our first peas of the season — your Pros' 

 perity — for dinner on Decoration Day — which we think remarkable considering the dry spring, 

 and the northwest exposure of our garden. The pods were fat and full " 



Mrs. FRANCES DARR. Gladstone. X.J. 



"I had a full crop of Prosperity Peas in exactly 4$ 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 lias always been my hobby.' They are all you 



claim, and in future I do not intetid to plant any other kind." 



CHARLES W. ROWMAX. Brownsville, Pa. 

 "Your Prosperity Peas proved prolific: the many pods developed a length of 4 ' j inches, 

 and, when shelled, turned out from eight to ten large peas from a pod; they were a surprise; the 

 earliest large pea I ever knew. It is the sweetest, lendcrest and most <!• lirious pea I ever ate." 



JAMES /.'. SLAUSOX, Racine, Wis.
