Henderson's Selected Peas 



For Market Gardeners 



Henderson's Famous Early Pea 



PROSPERITY OR GRADUS 



The Largest Highly Flavored Early Pea Grown in the United States 



The problem of good early Peas was finally and completely solved many years ago 

 when we introduced Prosperity. Some of our customers pick them as early as June 

 3d. Others have gathered Peas on May 26th, 55 days from the time of sowing. 



Prosperity should be planted a little thicker than other large-podded sorts, as 

 the vine is single stemmed and consequently occupies less room than the heavier 

 growing, branching varieties. This is one of its valuable features, for a large crop is 

 produced in a comparatively small space. The vines are three feet high, light green 

 in color; the pods are borne singly and freely from top to bottom of the vine and 

 contain from six to nine Peas as large and as rich in flavor as the Telephone and weeks 

 earlier. (See engraving). Price, qt. 60c, peck, $3.25, bush. $12.00. 



JUBILANT Henderson's 



Jubilant is an early pea and is not much later than Prosperity or Thomas Laxton 

 if sown at the same time. However, being a semi-wrinkled variety, seed may be sown 

 earlier than seed of Prosperity or Thomas Laxton, and therefore a crop can be matured 

 and marketed sooner than a crop of either of the other varieties mentioned. The vines 

 grow Z]/2 to 4 ft. high and are very vigorous, producing heavy crops of large dark 

 green pods well suited for the market. 



Price, qt. 80c, peck $4.25, bush. $15.00. 



HENDERSON'S FIRST-OF-ALL 



Beyond all Question the Earliest Pea Grown 



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. 



Price, qt. 55c, peck $2.75, bush. $10.00. 



JUNO 



The foliage is very dark green, a sure indication of vigor. The 

 plant is 2 x /2 feet high, heavily branched; so robust that it needs but 

 little support, and so resistant to heat that it stands our summers 

 better than any other. It is a sure and heavy cropper. The pods 

 are medium in size, but remarkably well filled with large peas of 

 perfect flavor. Price, qt. 55c, peck $2.75, bush. $10.00. 



LAXTONIAN 



The Most Productive of All Dwarf Early Peas. The Largest Pods 



This valuable variety represents the highest advance in dwarf 

 early Pea breeding. The dark, green vines grow only 16 to 18 

 inches in height, are hardy, vigorous and healthy, require no 

 supporting trellis, and bear in abundance giant dark green pods, 

 averaging 43^ inches in length with 8 to 10 large wrinkled blue- 

 green Peas double the size of any other early dwarf variety and 

 having the true rich marrow flavor, of the best of the tall main 

 crop English Marrowfat Peas. Ready for market in from 40 to 

 45 days or a few days earlier than Prosperity. The deep green 

 color of the pods and Peas is maintained for several days rendering 

 it exceptionally desirable for market gardener's trade. 



Price, qt. 75, peck, $3.75, bush. $14.00. 



THOMAS LAXTON 



An excellent, early wrinkled marrow variety. Height, 3 feet. 

 Pods are medium to large. Produces strong vines, which bear 

 heavy crops. 



Price, qt. 60c, peck, $3.25, bush. $12.00. 



HORSFORD'S MARKET GARDEN 



A Good Second or Medium Early Variety 

 A grand wrinkled variety, coming in between Little Gem and 

 Advancer. The vines are two feet high, very regular in growth. 

 It is a prolific bearer, and has yielded more per acre than any other 

 American variety. The pods, although of medium size, are 

 numerous, and are literally packed with peas of a delicious sweet 

 flavor. Price, qt. 55, peck $2.75, bush. $10.00. 



NOTT'S EXCELSIOR 



Early, Big Cropper, Extra Fine Quality 



A distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous 

 constitution, enormously productive, and generally excellent. 

 The pods are of good size, produced liberally, and are well filled 

 with excellent Peas of perfect quality. The plant is among the 

 smallest, very rarely exceeding 15 inches in height, and is easily 

 grown. It still is, and long will be, extremely popular. Many 

 people who have only small gardens use this sort exclusively, 

 making repeated sowings. Price, qt. 55c, peck $2.75, bush. $10.00. 



TELEPHONE PEA 



The Standard Large Podded Late Pea. Delicious Quality. 

 Enormous Pods 



One of the oldest varieties grown. It has been on the market 

 for nearly forty years and is better today than ever before. The 

 plant is about 5 feet high, and bears a heavy crop of enormous 

 pods well filled with large Peas of delicious quality. The vines, 

 while tall, are not heavy and require but little support. 



Price, qt. 60c, peck, $3.25, bush. $12.00.
