157 Dwarf Alderman (A 1935 Introduction) 

 Possesses Outstanding Qualifications 



A Rugged Constitution, Beautiful Large Well-formed Pods, Exceptional Quality 



The Henderson standard of perfection set up by our founder many years ago has proven 

 a barrier to many inferior vegetable introductions. To pass this barrier an item must 

 possess outstanding qualifications. Our tests of Dwarf Alderman have not only let down 

 the bars for it, but have aroused our enthusiasm to such an extent that we feel confident 

 it will prove its value wherever grown. 



Possessing the rugged constitution of the tall-growing late varieties, it reaches a height 

 of only 20 inches, but -is correspondingly sturdy and bushy. The pods, which are borne 

 in profusion, average 4J^ inches long; they are dark green and pointed. The pods invari- 

 ably contain 7 to 8 large rich-green peas of an exceptional quality; they are sweet and 

 delicious. For a main crop garden pea, it has no superior. (See illustration.)

Main Crop Garden Pea 



This variety is undoubt- 

 edly a very distinct and 

 valuable addition to the

 fore Telephone, and bears

 straight, and blunt at the

 sweetly flavored peas.

 crop, as the bearing season

 period of time. Con- 

 sidered by experts to be 

 decidedly the best pea re- 

 cently introduced. Height,
