Henderson's 

 Famous 

 Prosperity 

 Pea 



The Earliest and Largest Highly 

 Flavored Pea Grown 



May be on YourTable Early in June 



The pleasure one enjoys in anticipating 

 the first pickings of delicious Peas is very 

 quickly realized after planting Hender- 

 son's Prosperity. Until its introduc- 

 tion, the small podded sorts were all 

 that could be had so early. While in 

 many resperts these are excellent, they 

 are comparatively poor in flavor. The 

 problem of good early Peas was finally 

 and completely solved many years ago 

 when we introduced Prosperity. This 

 really remarkable variety still holds its place, 

 quite unique among the numerous Peas on the market. 



It is very gratifying to the grower to be able to supply the table with such delicious Peas as early 

 as the first week in June. Some of our customers (sec testimonial on this page) pick them as early as 

 June 3d. Others have gathered Peas on May 31st, 55 days from the time of sowing. 

 The immense size of the pods, borne in such great profusion and so liberally filled, insures a bounti- 

 ful supply at all times. 



Prosperity should be planted a little thicker than other large-podded sorts, as tie vine is single- 

 ■ stemmed and consequently occupies less room than the heavier growing, branching varieties. 

 . This is really one of its valuable features, for its large crop is produced in a comparatively small 

 fcl space. 



The vines are three feet high, pale green in color; the pods are borne singly and freely from top 

 t to bottom of the vine and contain from sis to ten Peas of delicious quality, fully as large and as 

 - -i rich in flavor as the Telephone and weeks earlier. 



Continuous, careful selection, patiently practised from year to year, has enabled us to keep 



our stock free from the small podded vines that are common to all the 



large sorts, so that Prosperity is now better than ever. (See 



colored illustration.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 



for 4 a.ts., $3.50 peck. 



Prosperity Peas on Decoration Day 



'I send herewith a photo of my rows of Prosperity Peas. I 



planted them on March 17//:. They were buried under 10 



inches of snow on April 3d, but I piclfed enough for dinner 



, on Decoration Day, and gathered the first lot of ripe Peas on 



June 3d. They are truly wonderful."

 Peas, ami with all your seeds. I had Prosperity Peas on

CHINESE 



Giant Pepper 



The fruits of this variety are mammoth, averaging 

 12 to 15 inches in circumference and, notwithstanding 

 the immense size, it is early and prolific ; the stocky, well- 

 branched plants, about 2 feet high, carry a large crop of 

 most attractive Peppers. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, 

 sweet and unexeelled for use as salad, or for stuffing for 

 " Mangoes." When ripe the surface is of a brilliant, glossy 

 scarlet. (See colored illustration.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. 

 oz., $1.75 3i lb., $6.00 lb. 



'My Chinese Giant Peppers took the prise at the Fair this Fall." 

 Mrs. H. F. REESE, 1207 Dallas St., Selma, Ala. 



"Last year oiir Chinese Giant Peppers, grown from Henderson's seed, grew 

 four feet in height, and bore immense numbers of peppers."
