TELEPHONE PEA 



The Standard Larpe Podded Late Pea. Delicious 

 Quality. Enormous Pods 



One of the oldest varieties grown. It has been on the 

 market for nearly forty years and is better today than ever 

 before. The plant is about 5 feet high and bears a heavy 

 crop of enormous pods well filled with large Peas of delicious 

 quality, rich in flavor, tender in quality and most attractive 

 in appearance. The vines, while tall, are not heavy and 

 require but little support, (Sec engraving.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.30 for 4 qts., $4.50 peck. 



"When it comes to granting garden peas Supervisor J. W. Swenson 

 of the P. R.R., Georgetown, Dela., takes the prize. He showed us a 

 lot on Monday which measured over four inches in length and seven- 

 eighths of an inch wide, each pod containing from eight to ten peas. 

 Mr. Swenson said they are known as Henderson's Telephone Peas 

 and that his vines are very full." 



THOMAS LAXTON PEA 



An extra early wrinkled "marrow" of excellent quality, 

 and a valuable addition to the very early varieties. It is 3 

 feet high, and somewhat more vigorous in habit than 

 Prosperity. The pods are medium to large, blunt ended 

 and filled to the tip with large Peas of true, rich," marrow" 

 flavor. Its strong vine and heavy cropping character 

 make it very suitable for an early crop in the private 

 garden. It may be used to great advantage as an im- 

 mediate successor to Prosperity. If sown together, 

 Thomas Laxton will be in full production just as the crop 

 of Prosperity is diminishing. Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 

 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts., $5.50 peck. 



ADVANCER PEA 



Wonderfully Prolific, Exceptionally Good Flavor 



Many claim that Advancer is equal in flavor to Champion of 

 England; indeed it is sometimes named Dwarf Champion. The 

 plant is 'V/i feet high, extremely vigorous and is noted particularly 

 for the enormous number of pods produced on each vine — no variety 

 excels it in this respect. The pods are small, but the Peas so densely 

 packed therein that the yield per plant exceeds that of many of the 

 larger podded sorts. It is one of the few English varieties that has 

 become perfectly adapted to American conditions. Price, 15c. 

 pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.30 for 4 qts., $4.50 peck. 



HENDERSON'S 



Succession Collections of 



ALDERMAN PEA 



Enormous Pods Filled with Perfect Peas 

 One of the best main crop varieties, extremely vigorous and produc- 

 ing a large crop of long, dark green pods packed with green wrinkled 

 Peas of the largest size and of unsurpassed quality. The rich color and 

 fine appearance is retained for several days. Height, 5 feet. Price, 10c. 

 pkt. 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.30 for 4 qts., $4.50 peck. 



PREMIUM GEM PEA 



Premium Gem Pea is really an improved McLean's Little Gem. It 

 is a variety which should be grown in every garden, as it has many 

 desirable qualities. The pods which are borne in great profusion are of 

 medium size, measuring three inches in length, and they are closely 

 filled with six to eight large peas of excellent flavor. The vine attains 

 a height of fifteen to eighteen inches and is of strong, luxuriant growth. 

 The seed is green, wrinkled and sometimes rather flattened in shape. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.30 for 4 qts., $4.50 peck.
