EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEM - Vegetable Seec 



HENDERSON'S 



American Champion Pea 



American Champion is one of the very best selections of the 

 Telephone type. We have offered this variety for many years, 

 and it has always given thorough satisfaction, particularly in the 

 private garden. 



The varieties of this class are all distinguished by their extra 

 large pods, which are always liberally filled with Peas of great size 

 and of particularly good flavor. It does not come into use until near 

 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. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.
