EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable Seeds 



PEAS 



MEDIUM EARLY 

 VARIETIES 



Henderson's 

 Famous 



Prosperity 



Largest, Highly Flavord Pea Grown 

 May be on Your Table Early in June 



1 8fi ^ ' s verv 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 a,t all times. Its prolific 

 character is established 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 consequently occupies 

 less room than the heavier growing, branch- 

 ing varieties. This is really one of its valu- 

 able features, for its large, crop is produced 

 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 si* to ten Peas 

 of delicious quality, fully as large and as rich 

 in flavor as Telephone, and weeks earlier.

Henderson's New 

 Garden Pea 



Jubilant 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1925 



One of the Best Second Early Varieties. 



Large Opulent Pods Containing 



8 to 10 Luscious Marrow Peas 



1 gg This, the supreme development in the 

 already famous aggregation of edible 

 peas, is truly well named — for "Jubilant" 

 indeed were all those who ate of this un- 

 rivaled delicacy grown in oar test plots. 



The Jubilant Pea is medium early, begin- 

 ning to bear a few days after our famous 

 Prosperity has started. The plants, which 

 are extremely vigorous, grow to a height of 

 3' 2 to 4 feet. The large deep green pods 

 literally cover the vines. The pods, which 

 are easily shelled, are usually filled with 9 to 

 10 large luscious marrow peas of exquisite 

 flavor. 



The vigorous constitution of the plant 

 makes it practically immune to blight and 

 consequently the production of peas is ex- 

 tended over a long period. (See illustration.)

Laxtonian 



Early 

 Marrow 



A Grand Early, Dwarf Pea — Enormous 

 Pods — The Largest of Peas 



171 Dwarf Peas have always been very 

 popular with the American gardener. 

 This preference has been maintained in spite 

 of the fact that larger and often better Peas 

 could be produced by growing the later and 

 taller sorts, which, of course, require artificial 

 support for their best cultivation. This lack 

 of quality has been quite overcome by Lax- 

 tonian, as it produces a pod which compares 

 favorably with the best of the later and taller 

 sorts. The vine is only eighteen inches high, 

 which makes it possible for any one to raise 

 the largest Peas very early in the season on 

 a small area, and with very little effort. It 

 is a rigorous and dependable grower, and 

 very prolific. 



The pods are not only large, but are always 

 well filled with Peas of great size and re- 

 markably good quality. The crop is ready 

 for use about a week later than the earliest 

 sorts. By sewing this variety at intervals of 

 ten days up to the end of May, a very satis- 

 factory supply of Peas may be raised for con- 

 tinuous use. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 

 15c; pt. 55c; qt. $1.00; 4 qts. $3.50; 

 peck $6.50.; transportation paid. 



Nowhere in the world will you obtain peas that are half as delicious as those that are grown in your own garden. Be sure to plant 



enough to carry you through the season.
