PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



H ENDERSONS FIRST OF ALL PEA. 



Its first important feature is its extreme earliness, 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, about 2J^ feet in 

 height. Another important feature: the entire crop can be 

 gathered at one picking, and everj^ trucker will realize at once 

 the economy in labor in growing such a pea. Moreover, the 

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

 selection has enabled us to eliminate 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.) Price, 30c. qt., S2.00 pk., 

 S7.50 bush. 



" Your First of All Peas " are rightly named for they were way ahead of all 

 other varieties we have ever tried." B. F. CARPENTER, West Duluth, Minn. 



THE AMEER, Or " Mammoth Alaska" Pea. 



This new variety — often called the " Mammoth Alaska " is 

 rapidly growing in favor among Market Gardeners being planted 

 on an extensive scale on many of the largest truck farms. It 

 resembles Alaska, the vine being more vigorous, a little taller 

 or about 3 feet in height and the pods and peas are fully one- 

 third larger. It is a heavy producer of handsome dark green 

 pods containing from 5 to 7 large blue-green round peas of 

 excellent quality. The crop ripens uniformlj- about three daj'S 

 later than Alaska. Price, 35c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bush. 



Henderson s Prosperity. 



THE EARLIEST LARGE WRINKLED OR MARROW PEA 



This grand, extra early, large-podded wrinkled marrow Pea — 



mtroduced into America by us in 1897 — has each year increased in 

 popular favor, not only steadily but with whirlwind rapidity-. 

 "Once grown it is thereafter indispensable," is the way one of our 

 customers puts it. 



The distinctive merits of Henderson's Prosperity Pea over any 

 other variety are its extreme earliness combined with its abundant 

 production of immense pods, each filled with from 6 to 10 true, large, 

 wrinkled marrow peas of the most delicious flavor — as large, as 

 sweet and as tender as the finest late wrinkled marrow pea grown. 

 When one considers that peas of this superior size and quality are 

 ready for picking only a day or two later than the little round- 

 seeded hard-shell " Extra Earlies," one realizes what a valuable 

 acquisition our Prosperity Pea really is. 



The vine of Prosperity is of vigorous, robust growth, about 

 3 feet high, heavy-stemmed with luxuriant healthy foliage; it 

 bearsuniformly large, handsome pods of large and luscious peas, 

 and although it commences bearing so very early it continues 

 for a long time; the peas also remain sweet and tender for 

 some time after they are fit to pick. {See cut.) Price, 40c. 

 qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush. 



" Please send me at once of your Prosperity Peas for my second planting. 



My first was the finest I ever grew and there was no limit to the demand." 



GEO. W. MILES. Madison, Wis. 



" / have beaten my whole neighborhood with your Prosperity Peas; they are as 

 early as the earliest and as good as the best lates." 



LLOYD M. MAYER. Linden Farm. Portsmouth, R.I. 



" I have been gardening for 27 years and never raised such^ peas as your Pros- 

 perity." F. SESTIER, Market Gardener, Des Moines, Iowa. 



" My Prosperity Peas are ahead of all in this community." 



L. W. THOMAS, Yulaha, Fla. 



THOMAS LAXTON PEA. 



An extra early wrinkled Marrow Pea of great merit. It grows 

 about 3 feet high, resembling 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 8 large, rich-flavored, wrinkled marrow peas, 

 which are also of a deep green color; a good reliable pea, uni- 

 formly constant type and about as early as Prosperity. We 

 are sure that this pea will become one of the best and most 

 popular varieties for market gardeners on account of its earliness, 

 productiveness, handsome appearance and quality. 



Price, 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush.
