157 DWARF ALDERMAN 

 Possesses Outstanding Qualifications 



A Rugged Constitution, Beautiful Large Well-formed Pods, Exceptional Quality 



The Henderson standard of perfection set up by our founder many years ago has proven 

 a barrier to many inferior vegetable introductions. To pass this barrier an item must 

 possess outs tand ing qualifications. Our tests of Dwarf Alderman have not only let down 

 the bars for it, but have aroused our enthusiasm to such an extent that we feel confident 

 it will prove its value wherever grown. 



Possessing the rugged constitution of the tall-growing late varieties, it reaches a height 

 of only 20 inches, but is correspondingly sturdy and bushy. The pods, which are borne 

 in profusion, average 4J^ inches long; they are dark green and pointed. The pods invari- 

 ably contain 7 to 8 large rich-green peas of an exceptional quality; they are sweet and 

 delicious. For a main crop garden pea, it has no superior. (See illustration.)

151 AMERICAN CHAMPION (Henderson's) 



Extra large pods, liberally filled with Peas of great size and of particularly good flavor. 

 It does not come into use until the end of the season and, as it grows from 4 to 5 feet high, 

 the vines need some support, but it well repays both the waiting and the extra labor, for, 

 properly cared for, it bears an extremely bountiful crop of the most delicious Peas.

This variety is undoubt- 

 edly a very distinct and 

 valuable addition to the 

 mid-season varieties. It

 straight, and blunt at the 

 ends; always filled with

 sweetly flavored peas. 



Although it does not 

 grow as tall as Telephone, 

 its vigorous constitution is 

 such that it is practically 

 immune to blight; conse- 

 quently, it bears a large 

 crop, as the bearing season

 period of time. Con- 

 sidered by experts to be 

 decidedly the best pea re- 

 cently introduced. Height,
