extra early sorts, thus filling in the gap between these and mid- 

 summer varieties. Plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing 

 about 15 in. high, with sturdy branching stalks practically self- 

 supporting, so that brush is not essential. Massive pods are pro- 

 duced in abundance and packed with from 6 to 8 immense, wrinkled 

 Marrow Peas of rich green color. Price, qt. 60c, peck $3.25, 

 bush. $12.00. 



"We always enjoy complete satisfaction from your seeds, but this year your Melting 

 Marrow Peas were exceptionally fine and very abundant." 



R. M. JOHNSON, Assumption, III. 

 "We have used your seeds exclusively for eight years and our Peas always excel all 

 others in this neighborhood." 



G. H. BARLOW, Verbank. N. Y. 

 "The American Champion Peas I had from you last year were the best Peas I ever 

 had." 



S. L. NELSON, Bowdoinham, Me. 



"Your American Champion Peas are the finest I ever grew. Will send an order for 

 other %eeds later ." 



E. M. POOLER, Pittsburgh, Pa. 



MAIN CROP OR LATER VARIETIES 



Henderson's 



American Champion 



4J^ feet. The largest podded and the best strain of the Telephone 

 type. 



Extra large pods, liberally filled with Peas of great size and of 

 particularly good flavor. It does not come into use until near the 

 end of the season and, as it grows from four to five feet high, the 

 vines need some support, but it well repays both the waiting and the 

 extra labor, for, properly cared for, it bears an extremely bountiful 

 crop of the most delicious Peas. (See engrrving). Price qt., 60c, 

 peck, $3.25, bush. $12.00. 



*Alderman. 



One of the very best early main crop peas of the 

 Telephone type. The vigorous, healthy vines 

 grow about 5 feet in height and are very productive of large, long, 

 dark green pods — often over five inches in length — and packed with 

 deep green wrinkled peas of the largest size and of unsurpassed 

 quality. The rich, dark green color is retained for several days, 

 rendering this variety especially desirable for Market Gardeners who 

 ship their products. Price, qt. 60c, peck $3.25, bush. $12.00. 



An old favorite sort of vigorous consti- 

 tution growing about five feet high and 

 very productive. Price, qt. 60c, peck $3.25, bush. $12.00. 



* Tiir»r» ^^ foliage is very dark green a sure indication of vigor. 

 The plant is 214 feet high, heavily branched; so robust 

 that it needs but little support, and so resistant to heat that it stands 

 our summers better than any other. It is a sure and heavy cropper. 

 The pods are medium in size, but remarkably well filled with large 

 peas of perfect flavor. Price, qt. 55c, peck $2.75, bush. $10.00. 



^Duke of Albany. 



Telephone 



The Standard Large Podded Late Pea. 

 Enormous Pods 



Delicious Quality. 



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. The vines, while 

 tall, are not heavy and require but little support. Our stock is far 

 superior to that ordinarily sold under this name. (See engraving). 

 Price, qt. 60c, peck $3.25, bush. $12.00. 



There is always a demand for High Quality Peas. Prolong the production season, by growing early, medium and late varieties.
