Henderson's Famous Prosperity 



The Earliest, Largest, Highly Flavored Pea Grown May be 



on Your Table Early in June 



186. The problem of good, large-podded early Peas was finally and completely 

 solved many years ago when we introduced Prosperity. Previous to that time 

 all that could be had so early were the small-podded sorts. 



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, 

 branching 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 



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 

 crop 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., 45c. pt„ 85c. qt., $3.00 for % peck, $5.50 peck.. 



Improved Dwarf Telephone 



Large, Very Dark Green Pods and Vines. Height 2% 

 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, 15c. pkt., 55c. pt., $1.00 qt. 



If part of your garden is higher, warmer, or better drained than the rest, reserve it for your crop of earliest vegetables. 

 Your garden will be ready for working a week earlier in spring, if it was dug up in the fall
