HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS 



Henderson's Genuine Southport Globe Onions 



ALMOST PERFECT GLOBE-SHAPED LARGE HEAVY AND SOLID. ENORMOUS YIELDERS. 



The most severe test of an Onion is that which affects its keeping 

 quality. In this respect Henderson's Genuine Southport Globe 

 Onions are supreme. Years of selection, in which every bulb 

 used for seed purposes has had to pass the critical eye of veteran 

 experts have had no uncertain effect on these, and they are today, 

 beyond doubt, the best of all Onions. The difference in the respect- 

 ive sorts is mainly one of color. They have the same shape, 

 which is almost globe-shaped, and so thoroughly have the tops 

 been bred that, when dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a 

 perfect symmetrical bulb, shapely, proportionate, and quite devoid 

 of neck, the presence of which not only mars the appearance, but 

 is a serious menace to the keeping quality. (See engraving).

 large onions, solid, and heavy. We have a very fine stock of this 

 admirable onion, true to shape, of good size and very fine dark 

 red color. It will be found quite free from extra fiat or pale 

 colored bulbs. Price, 45c. oz., $1.50 M lb., $5.00 lb. 



Henderson's Famous Early Pea 

 Prosperity or Gradus 



The Earliest and Largest Highly Flavored Pea Grown 



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 single stemmed and consequently occupies less room than the heavier growing, 

 branching varieties. This is one of its valuable features, for a large crop is produced 

 in a comparativeh' 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, 50c. qt., $3.25 peck, $12.00 bush. 



New Dwarf First Early Marrow Pea 

 Laxtonian 



The Most Productive of All Dwarf Early Peas 

 Largest Pods 



This valuable variety represents the highest advance in dwarf early Pea breeding. 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 4^ 

 inches in length with 8 tb 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. Ready for market in from 40 to 45 days or a few days 

 earlier than Prosperity. The deep green color of the pods and Peas is maintained for 

 several davs rendering it exceptionally desirable for market gardener's trade. Price, 

 60c. qt, $3.75 peck, $14.00 bush. 



Telephone Pea 



The Standard Large Podded Late Pea. Delicious Quality. Enormous Pods. 



One of the oldest varieties grown. It has been on the market for nearly forty j^ears 

 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. Price, 50c. qt., $3.25 peck, 

 $12.00 bush.
