Henderson's First-of-All 



Beyond All Question the Earliest Pea Grown 



}52 Tne 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. Anyway. First-of-All may 

 be eaten and the crop removed while other sorts are maturing, for it has been so closely 

 bred to produce its crop on time, that quite often the entire erop may be removed at one 

 picking. The slim. 3-foot vines permit close planting; it may be planted as soon as frost 

 leaves the ground. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 10c : pt. 40c.: qt. 75c: 4 qts. $2.50; 

 peck $4.75; transportation paid. 



"J wish you could have seen a row of your Alaska Peas planted very early last season. The 



crop was really remarkable, 

 you could scarcely see the 

 tines for the peas."

 "I had a " Henderson 

 Garden" to be proud of last 

 year in spite of a dry season. 

 Notts Excelsior Peas can be 

 used longer without getting 

 hard in the pod than any 

 other Pea."

Little Marvel ££ f 



An Improvement on Nott's Ex- 

 celsior and American Wonder 



1 "1A This is the most prolific of the 

 Early. Dwarf Garden Peas, and 

 we especially recommend it to the home 

 gardener. It is a decided improvement 

 on the Wonder class because the pods — 

 always borne in pairs — mature much 

 earlier than either Nott's Excelsior or 

 American Wonder. The vines grow 

 about 18 inches high and both vine and 

 pod are in color an extremely dark green, now so much in demand. We are quite sure 

 Little Marvel will give staisfaction to everybody. It is well named "Little Marvel."

Melting Marrow 



176 



Dwarf Early, Easily Grown. Pods Lartfe. Peas Delicious 



One of the newer dwarf varieties that produces Peas equal in size and rich 

 "melting marrow" flavor to the best of the later sorts. It is admirable for a 

 second early crop, and is so vigorous, so sure to produce a good crop, that it may be 

 safely relied on, not only for early use, but for successive sowings throughout the entire 

 season when Peas can be grown. The pods are very large and are produced ir 

 abundance. They are always bountifully filled with very large Peas of a rich, inviting 

 green color, of perfect flavor. It is one of the easiest to care for. The vines are only 15 

 to 18 inches high, so that it does well without support.

S__. Early Big Cropper, 

 LAtCIMUr Extra Fine Quality 

 1 79 "^ distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous constitution, enor- 

 mously 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 easliy grown. It still is, 

 and long will be. extremely popular. Many people who have only small gardens use this 

 sort exclusively, making repeated sowings. (See illustration.)

1 CO The vines usually reach 18 to 20 inches in height. This is the most productive 

 variety in its class and an excellent pea to follow the very early varieties. The 

 dark green peas are rich in flavor, and pods may be gathered continuously through most 

 of the growing season. Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c: qt. 85c: 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50;
