Henderson's Famous Early Pea 



^Prosperity or Gradus 



The Largest Highly Flavored Early Pea Grown in the United States 

 The problem of good early Peas was finally and completely solved many years ago 

 when we introduced Prosperity. Some of our customers pick them as early as June 

 3d. Others have gathered Peas on May 26th, 55 days from the time of sowing. 



Prosperity should be planted a little thicker than other large-podded sorts, as the 

 vine is singly stemmed and consequently occupies less room than the heavier grow- 

 ing, branching varieties. This is one of its valuable features, for a large crop is pro- 

 duced in a comparatively small space. The vines are three feet high, light green in 

 color; the pods are borne singly and freely from top to bottom of the vine and contain 

 from six to nine Peas as large and as rich in flavor as the Telephone and weeks earlier. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 70c, 15 lbs. $3.50, (Bush.) 56 lbs. $12.00. 



*ThomaS Laxton. An extra early, wrinkled Marrow Pea of great merit. It 

 grows about 3 feet high, resembling Prosperity. It is of 

 vigorous, hardy constitution, enabling it to be planted with first earliest, coming in a 

 few days later than the round, hard-shell sorts. It produces a heavy crop of long, straight, 

 square-ended, dark green pods, well filled with 7 to 8 large, rich-flavored deep green 

 wrinkled marrow peas. It is a good reliable pea, uniformly constant type and about as 

 early as Prosperity. (See engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 70c, 15 lbs. $3.50, (Bush.) 56 lbs. $12.00. 



*" World's Record." A recent 



develop- 

 ment — the most improved of the extra 

 early Gradus type. The vines are two ft. 

 high, very productive. The pods are four 

 inches long, very dark green. Price, 2 lbs. 

 70c, 15 lbs. $3.50, (Bush.) 56 lbs. $12.00. 



MEDIUM EARLY VARIETIES 



*Laxtonian 



The Most Productive of All Dwarf Early 

 Peas. The Largest Pods 



The dark, green vines grow only 16 to 18 inches in height, are 

 hardy, vigorous and healthy, require no supporting trellis, and 

 bear in abundance giant dark green pods, averaging 4H inchesin 

 length with 8 to 10 large wrinkled blue-green Peas double the size 

 of any other early dwarf variety and having the true rich marrow 

 flavor, of the best of the tall main crop English Marrowfat Peas.

 Prosperity. The deep'green color of the pods and Peas is maintained
