Henderson’ s Garden Peas 7st ik 
Henderson’s Famous Prosperity Pea 
The Earliest, Largest, Highly Flavored Pea Grown May be 
on Your Table Early in June 
186. The pleasure one enjoys in anticipating the first pickings of delicious Peas is 
very quickly realized after planting Henderson’s Prosperity. Until its introduc- 
tion, the small podded sorts were all that could be had so early. While in many 
respects these 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 prolific character is estab- 
lished by its success in the 
market garden, where the 
problem of filling the basket is 
of primary importance. 
Prosperity should be planted 
little thicker than other large- 
podded sorts, as the vine is 
Single-stemmed and  conse- 
quently occupies less room 
than the heavier growing, 
branehing varieties. This is 
really one of its valuable fea- 
tures, for its large crop is pro- 
duced in a comparatively small 
space. 
The vines are three feet 
high, 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.

Henderson’s First-of-All Pea 
Beyond all Question the Earliest Pea Grown 
162. 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 so. = 
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 
erop on time, that quite often the entire crop may be re- 
moved at one picking. The slim, 3-foot vines permit close 
planting; its hardiness enables it to be planted as soon as 
frost leaves the ground. (See engraving.) Price, 10c¢. 
pkt., 45¢e. pt., 85e. qt., $3.00 for % peck, $5.50 peck. 
Improved Dwarf Telephone Pea 
An Improvement on Carter’s Daisy. Large, Very Dark 
Green Pods and Vines. Height 214 feet, 8 to 9 Dark 
Green Peas in each Pod 
158. The handsome dark green pods of this variety are 
almost an exact replica of the tall telephone, and we 
think we are safe in describing it as the largest podded 
dwarf green pea in existence. Dwarf Telephone is a 
robust growing variety; the haulm is strong and bears 
an abundance of pods about five inches in length, tightly 
filled with 8 to 9 dark green wrinkled peas of the finest 
quality. Price, 15¢e. pkt., 55¢. pt., $1.00 qt. 
Dependable Seed Service Since 1847. The worth of a House whose business has been carried on successfully for three 
generations by the same family, is understood by all who plant seeds, because seeds are sold entirely on reputation.
