 MARROW PEA, 



THE SENATOR 



Americans visiting England during ''green pea season" are 

 delighted with the surpassing quality of the English Marrow Peas. 

 Most varieties of these luscious English Peas are very exclusive. 

 Having been bred in a cool, moist climate, they resent heat and 

 drought. Yet, occasionally among our extensive annual trials 

 we find a variety that thrives under our American conditions. 

 Such a one is The Senator, which we have grown for five years 

 to acclimate it, and now offer it to our patrons with full confi- 

 dence that it will give thorough satisfaction in every section 

 where peas thrive. 



The Senator Pea grows from 3 to 4 feet high and bears a sur- 

 prisingly large quantity of large, handsome pods, filled almost 

 to bursting with great succulent peas — as big as small marbles — 

 and of superb quality, which is maintained even through the 

 hot, trying weeks of July. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 

 $2.75 peck, $10.00 bush. 



Henderson's HEROINE PEA 



Peas large, very prolific, often 10. sometimes 12 peas to a pod. 

 Delicious, melting quality. 

 Heroine is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, combining 

 quantity and quality in a degree surpassed by no other variety. 

 It grows uniformly about 2]/ 2 feet high, and is literally covered 

 with its long, heavy, pointed pods. The quality of this pea is 

 simply perfection — that rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for 

 which the peas grown in the gardens of Old England are cele- 

 brated. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.50 pk., 

 $9.00 bush. 



HENDERSONS DWARF EARLY PEA, 



Melting Marrow 



This is one of the best of the recent English introduc- 

 tions. Our stock has been thoroughly acclimatized and 

 perfectly selected, and is therefore admirably fitted to 

 resist the trying conditions of the American summer. 



Henderson's Melting Marrow Pea is early, following 

 immediately after the extra early sorts, thus filling in the 

 gap between these and the midsummer varieties, though 

 by successive sowings Melting Marrow Peas may be long 

 enjoyed. 



The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing 

 about 15 inches high, with sturdy branching stalks that 

 are practically self-supporting, so that trellis or brush is 

 not essential, though low brush or crossed sticks, if con- 

 venient, will not be misapplied. The massive pods are 

 produced in prodigal abundance from ground to summit, 

 and are packed with from six to eight immense wrinkled 

 Marrow Peas of a rich green color, which hue is maintained 

 when cooked, thus appearing especially attractive when 

 served, while the delicious quality and superb rich flavor 

 is unequalled by any Pea of American origin. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush. 



" Your new dwarf pea. Melting Marrow, is certainly the finest pea in 

 existence. I do not beliei'e there is another pea that can compare with it 

 for earliness, size and flavor. I made the first planting on May 16th. and 

 on June 29th (just 45 days), I picked the first mess, and they were the 

 sweetest, tenderest and most delicious peas thai we ever tasted. They are 

 all and more tlutn you claim for them. " 



LLOYD H. SANDS, Tolona, III. 

 I am pleased to tell you that Milting Marrow proved the best dwarj 

 pea I have ever grown, and I have tried a great many during my gardening 

 experience of 59 years. The flavor was good and the yield enormous."
