" My FIRST OF ALL Peas were from ten to fifteen days earlier than any 

 ifther farmer's in my section who did not plant Henderson' s peas: and they are 

 tkt best peas I ever planted and I have tried many varieties." 



JOHN SIMKINS, Wilmington. N. C.

 wars' cultivation " JOHN WM. HUBBARD. Norfolk. Va.

An extra early, smooth, blue Pea; vines slender, about 2 feet 

 high; pods very dark green, about 3 inches long, well filled with 

 small, smooth, blue-green peas. The earliness, uniformity in 

 ripening and deep color render it a desirable market and canning

EAN'S 



ADVANCER PEA. 



A reliable second early green Pea, just following the first 

 earlies; it is of healthy, compact growth, about 2\ feet high, 

 bearing in great abundance medium-sized pods, but compactly 

 filled with dark green-colored, large wrinkled peas, so tender, 

 sweet and finely flavored that this variety is often known as 

 the Dwarf Champion. (See cut.) Price, 20c. qt., $1.20 pk., $4.00 

 bush. 



JUNO PEA.= 



A dwarf main crop wrinkled marrow Pea. It is of vigorous 

 constitution, a strong, handsome, branching plant, 2 feet in 

 height, requiring no brushing. It is enormously prolific, the 

 vines being actually laden with pods. These are dark green, 

 stout and heavy, containing from 7 to 9 peas of the finest 

 quality, which so thoroughly fill the pod as to make it almost 

 cylindrical in shape. The peas, too, possess the admirable 

 merit of preserving their tenderness and superb flavor long 

 after they are young, and also retain their attractive dark green 

 color when served at table. Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 

 bush.

THE TRUCKER'S FAVORITE 

 H ENDERSON 'S fIRST Qf ^ p £A 



The Finest First Early. 

 A Heavy Cropper. 



The Most Uniform in Ripening. 

 A Money-Maker for the Trucker. 



Few vegetables have held their place in the public esteem for so 

 many years as our First of All Pea. It stands to-day unrivalled, 

 either as a first early or main crop pea; indeed, we do not think 

 we are wrong in claiming that it is used to a greater extent than 

 any other variety in any of the seasons in which peas can be ob- 

 tained. It is the only type of pea which can safely be used at all 

 seasons, and there is none approaching it which can be used in 

 such a variety of climes and over so great a latitude; it has grown 

 with equal success in the coldest and warmest climates, apparently 

 having the power to resist extreme climatic conditions possessed 

 by no other type. Since we sent this out there have been many 

 attempts at imitating it, but the enormous increase of sales gives 

 silent testimony to the acknowledged superiority of Henderson'i 

 First of All over all would-be competitors, and it stands to-day 

 a money-maker for the trucker. 



Its first important feature is its extreme earliness. It cornea 

 into bearing a few days ahead of any other variety, thus ensuring 

 to the trucker the advantage of marketing his produce so much 

 earlier than those who do not grow it. It is also exceedingly pro- 

 ductive. The vines are vigorous and dwarf, never exceeding 2\ 

 feet in height. Another very important feature for the trucker 

 is the fact that 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 superior, owing to constant and watchful selecticcn, 

 by which we have been able to eliminate from it every undesirable 

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

 weak spindlii g habit, which forms so large a part of the crop of 

 many ?o-ca!led First Earlies. (See cut.) 



Price, in sealed bags, 20c. qt., $1.20 pk., $4.00 bush.
