EARLY JUNE! 



As soon as you have 

 heretofore had the 

 ordinary early kinds. 



HTHIS grand, extra early, large-podded 

 1 wrinkled marrow Pea — introduced into 

 America by us in 1897 — has each year in- 

 creased 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 everyone who plants our Prosper- 

 ity Pea recommends it to his neighbors, for 

 the demand upon us for the seed has annu- 

 ally 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 abun- 

 dant production of immense pods, each filled 

 with from 6 to 10 true, large, wrinkled mar- 

 row peas of the most delicious flavor — as. 

 large, as sweet and as tender as the finest 

 late wrinkled marrow pea grown. When 

 one considers 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, ro- 

 bust growth, about 1Yz feet high, heavy-stem- 

 med with luxuriant healthy 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 they are fit to pick. (See 

 cut.) 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush. 



In our experience as seedsmen, for over half a century, we have never received* so many eulogistic letters about 

 any one vegetable as for Henderson's PROSPERITY PEA. Space only permits us to print the following: 



"I had a, full crop of Prosperity' Peas in exactly 

 48days from planting lastspring, andunlike thevsna 1 

 'Extra Early' they were as full, wrinkled, and sweet 

 as any late pea I ever tasted, better than even the 

 'Champion ol England,' which has always been mv 

 'hobby.' They are all you claim, and in future I do 

 not intend to plant anv other kind." 



CHARLES W. BOWMAN, Brownsville, Pa. 



"My 'Prosperity' Peas are a sight to behold. I 

 picked my first on the 7th of. June (a small extra early- 

 one, just'one day ahead). J planted them the same 

 day. When they become known they will displace all 

 other early Peas. As good as the best lates and as 

 early as the earliest." 



ROBERT BIRCH, 

 Market Gardener, Plymouth, Mich. 



" Tour' Prosperity' Peas proved prolific; the many 

 pods developed a length o 1 4V? 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. They are the sweetest, tenderest and 

 most delicious Pea 1 ever ate." 



JAMES R. SLAVSON, 

 Racine, Wis. 



PEAS, BEANS and CORN we do NOT deliver free but will do so if 5c. per pint or 10c. per quart is added to the price.
