HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



THE TRUCKER'S FAVOFklTE. 



Henderson's First of All Pea. 



The Finest First Early. The Most Uniform in Ripening. 

 A Heavy Cropper. A Money-Maker for the Trucker. 



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

 many years as otir 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 obtained. 

 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, app^-rentlj' 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 ac- 

 knowledged superiority of Henderson's First of All over all would-bt 

 competitors, and it stands to-day a money-maker for the trucker. 



Its first important feature is its extreme earliness. It comes 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 productive. The 

 vines are vigorous and dwarf, never exceeding 2^ feet in height. An- 

 other very important feattire 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-sucK-a pea.. Moreover, the stock 

 which we are sending out to-day is superior, owing to constant and 

 watchful selection, by which we have been able to eliminate from it 

 every undesirable feature, such as small double pods, irregularity in 

 height, and weak spindling habit, which forms so large a part of the 

 crop of many so-called First Earlies. (See cut.)

Thomas Laxton Pea. 



A Fine New Early Wrinkled Marrow. 



An extra early wrinkled Marrow Pea. The plant grows 

 about 3. feet high, resembling that of Prosperity, though 

 a little darker in color and of vigorous hardy constitution, 

 enabling it to be sown with first earlies, coming in but 

 three or four days later than those round, hard-shell 

 sorts. It produces a heavy crop of long, straight, square- 

 ended, dark green pods, which are well filled with 7 to S 

 large, rich-flavored, wrinkled marrow peas, which are also 

 of a deep green color, adding to their attractiveness when 

 served on the table. Thomas Laxton is a good, reliable 

 pea, uniformly constant to type and about as early as Pros- 

 perity. {See cut.) Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.50 bush. 



NEW ENGLISH MARROW PEA. 



The Senator. 



The Senator Pea grows from 3 to 4 feet high and bears 

 a surprisingly large quantity of large, handsome pods, 

 filled almost to bursting with great succulent peas and of 

 superb quality ; the sweet buttery flavor of the trtie Eng- 

 lish Marrow Peas, which quality is maintained even 

 through the hot, trying weeks of July. We have grown it 

 for four years to further test and acclimate it, and now 

 offer it to our patrons with full confidence that it will give 

 thorough satisfaction in every section where peas thrive. 



Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 



Telephone Pea. 



A strong, luxuriant-growing main crop variety, at- 

 taining a height of about 4i feet. It is exceed-ingly 

 prolific, averaging 18 pods to the stalk, while up to 24 to the 

 stalk is not uncommon. The pods, the largest of all 

 varieties, are packed with immense wrinkled marrow peas, 

 6 to 8 being the average, while 10 to 12 to a pod are fre- 

 quently found. The quality is superb, nch, sugary and 

 tender. For family use the Telephone Pea is without a 

 peer. Price, 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush.
