Henderson's Famous Prosperity Pea 



186 



(Illustrated on the opposite page) 



■ i . 



The Earliest, Largest, Highly Flavored Pea Grown 

 The Best of All Peas May be on Your Table Early in June 



The pleasure one enjoys in anticipating the first pickings of deli- 

 cious Peas is very quickly realized after planting Henderson's -Pros- 

 perity. Until its introduction, the small podded sorts were all that 

 could be had so early. While in many respects f.ese are excellent, 

 they are comparatively poor in flavor. The problem of good early 

 Peas was finally and completely solved many years ago when we 

 introduced Prosperity. This really remarkable variety still holds 

 its place, quite unique among the numerous Peas on the market. • 



■ It is very gratifying to the grower to be able to supply the table 

 with such delicious Peas as early as the first week in June. Indeed, 

 one of our customers says he picks them as early as May 31st, 55 



days from time of sowing. 



.".The immense size of the pods, borne in such great profusion and 

 so liberally filled, insures a bountiful supply at all times. Its pro- 

 lific character is established by its success in the market garden, 

 where the problem of filling the basket is of primary importance. 

 '-; 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 

 really one of its valuable features, for its large crop is produced in a 

 comparatively small space. 



.The vines are three feet high, pale green in color; the pods are 

 borne singly and freely from top to bottom of the vine and contain 

 from six' to ten Peas of delicious quality, fully as large and as rich in 

 flavor as Telephone and weeks earlier. 



Continuous, careful selection, patiently and intelligently practised 

 from year to year, has enabled us to keep our stock free from 

 small podded vines, so- that Prosperity is now . better than ever. 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt, 80c. qt., $3.00 for $£ peck, $5.50 peck.

 Famous Because of its Everbearing Habit 



(Illustrated on opposite page) 



This very desirable variety was introduced. many years ago, and 

 is still a general favorite. It is a medium early Variety, easily dis- 

 tinguished by its vigorous vines which have a decided branching 

 habit.

 of attractive pods three to four inches in length; containing six to 

 nine large marrow peas of delicious flavor, and of excellent cooking 

 quality.

176 Melting Marrow Pea

Dwarf, Early, . Easily Grown. Pods Large. Peas 

 Delieious. Equal to any Tall Later Sorts 



-One of the newer dwarf varieties that produces Peas equal in size 

 and rich, "melting marrow'" flavor to the best of the later sorts. It 

 is admirable for a second early crop, and is so vigorous, so sure to 

 produce a good crop, that it may be safely relied on, not only, for early 

 use, hut for successive' sowings throughout the entire season when 

 Peas can be grown. The pods are very large and are produced in 

 prodigal abundance. They are always bountifully filled with -very 

 large Peas of a rich, inviting green color, of perfect flavor. It is one 

 of the easiest to care for. The vines are only 15 or 18 inches high, 

 so that it. does well without support. Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. 

 qt., $3.00 for Y 2 peck, $5.50 peck.
