HENDERSON'S FAMOUS 



Prosperity Pea 



The Earliest and Largest Highly Flavored Pea Grown 

 May be on Your Table in the Latter Part of May 



The pleasure one enjoys in anticipating the first pickings of delicious 

 Peas is very quickly realized after planting Hendeison's Prosperity. 

 Until its introduction, the small podded sorts were all that could be had 

 so early. While in many respects these are excellent, they are com- 

 paratively 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. 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. 



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

 liberally filled, insures a bountiful supply at all times. 

 - 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 com- 

 paratively 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 the 

 Telephone and weeks earlier. 



Continuous, careful selection, patiently practised from year to year, 

 has enabled us to keep our stock free from the small podded vines that 

 are common to all the large sorts, so that Prosperity is now better than 

 ever. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 

 qts., S5.50 peck. 



" Your Prosperity Pea is certainly a wonder." 

 March 13, 1917. CHARLES M. MOADINCER, Flushing, N. Y. 



"Your Prosperity Peas last year were covered with fine pods filled with 

 delicious peas." 

 Feb. 26, 1917. GEORGE H. LONGFORD, Salmon Arm, B. C. 



"I have been perfectly delighted with your famous Prosperity Peas. It is just 

 fun to pick such lovely peas and the yield is greater than from any other variety. 

 We picked over 30 quarts from one short row and only 10 quarts from other kinds 

 with same length rows." 

 July 29, 1917. Mrs. IT. H. CRAWFORD, Stratford, Conn. 



"The Prosperity Peas I purchased from you have been tnost successful." 

 July 27, 1917. Mrs. E. H. MOULD, S. Leavilt St., Chicago, III.

"I must tell you about my Prosperity Peas. They were planted in February 

 Spell. Then the ground froze, but by the 1th of April every pea had come through 

 of May we had our first mess of green peas. Since then we have picked about 3 1 L > 

 and the vines are still in blossom."

Beyond 

 the Earlii 



H enderson's First-of-All Pea 



The extreme earliness of First-of-All emphatically distinguishes it from all others. 

 For forty years it has produced the earliest crop of this delicious vegetable, and is 

 still doing do. 



While it lacks the "marrow" flavor of the larger and later sorts, it has a sweetness 

 peculiar to its class, and a flavor which is preferred by many. Anyway, First-of-All 

 may be eaten and the crop removed while other sorts are maturing, for it has been so 

 closely bred to produce its crop on time, that quite often the entire crop may bo 

 removed at one picking. The slim. 3-foot vines permit close planting; its hardness 

 enables it to be planted as soon as frost leaves the ground, (,6'cc- engraving.) Price 

 15c. pkt, 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts., S5.50 peck.
