PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



HENDERSON'S 



FIRST OF ALL PEA. 



Its first important feature is its extreme earliness, ensuring to the 

 trucker the advantage of marketing his produce so much earlier than 

 those who do not grow it. It is also exceedingly productive. The 

 vines are vigorous and dwarf, about 2f feet in height. Another im- 

 portant festure; the entire crop can be gathered at one picking, and 

 every trucker will realize at once the economy in labor in growing such 

 a pea. Moreover, the stock which we are sending out to-day is super- 

 ior, constant selection has enabled us to eliminate every undesirable 

 feature, such as small double pods, irregularity in height, and weak 

 spindling habit, which form so large a part of the crop of many socalled 

 First Earlies. (See engraving.) Price, 30c. qt., S2.20 pk., $8.00 bush. 



The Ameer 



or "Mammoth Alaska" 

 ^=^= Pea. 



This new variety — often called the " Mammoth Alaska " is rapidly 

 growing in favor among Market Gardeners being planted on an ex- 

 tensive scale on many of the largest truck farms. It resembles Alaska, 

 the vine being more vigorous, a little taller or about 3 feet in height and 

 the pods and peas are fully one third larger. It is a heavy producer 

 of handsome dark green pods containing from 5 to 7 large blue-green 

 round peas of excellent quality. The crop ripens uniformly' about 

 three days later than Alaska. Price, 25c, qt., $1.70 pk., S6.00 bu. 



ALASKA PEA. 



One of the earliest blue Peas. The dark green color of the pods make 

 it extremely desirable, as it can be carried long distances without losing 

 color, which quality combined with its earliness and uniformity of 

 ripening, makes it a most desirable Pea for the southern market 

 gardeners. Height, 2 ft. 25c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.50 bush.
