HENDERSON’S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 
THE AMEER, or “Mammoth Alaska” Pea. 
This new variety—often called the ‘“‘Mammoth Alaska’’ is 
rapidly growing in favor among Market Gardeners being planted 
on an extensive scale on many of the largest truck farms. It 
resembles Alaska, the vine being more vigorous, a little taller 
or about 3 feet in height and the pods and peas are fully one-third 
larger. It is a heavy producer of handsome dark green pods con- 
taining from 5 to 7 large blue-green round peas of excellent quality. 
The crop ripens uniformly about three days later than Alaska. 
Price, 30c. qt., $1.90pk., $7.00 bush. 
ALDERMAN PEA. 
One of the very best early main crop peas of the -Telephone 
type. The vigorous, healthy vines grow about 5 feet in height and 
are very productive of large, long, dark green pods—often over five 
inches in length—and packed with deep green wrinkled peas of the 
largest size and of unsurpassed quality. Therich, dark green color 
and handsome appearance of pods and peas are retained for several 
days, rendering this variety especially desirable for Market Garden- 
ers who ship their products. Price, 30c. qt., $2.20 peck, $8.00 bush. 
THOMAS LAXTON PEA. 
An extra early, wrinkled Marrow Pea of great merit. It grows 
about 3 feet high, resembling Prosperity, though a little darker 
in color and of vigorous, hardy constitution, enabling it to be 
sown with first earlies, coming in but three or four days later than 
those round, hard-shell sorts. It produces a heavy crop of long, 
straight, square-ended, dark green pods, which are well filled with 
7 to 8 large, rich-flavored, wrinkled marrow peas, which are also 
of a deep green color; a good reliable pea, uniformly constant type 
and about as early as Prosperity. We are sure that this pea will 
become one of the best and most popular varieties for market 
gardeners on account of its earliness, productiveness, handsome 
appearance and quality. Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush.

“Henderson's Telephone 
Peas have the largest pods 
and every pod is full of 
large peas. Such peas have 
never been raised in this 
country. Everybody that “Vour Telephone is the 
iesenet them wants them finest pea we ever planted. 
. They grew over 6 feet high 
J.F. HINDS, and had 22 to 26 pods loa 
Cloar, Ark. vine. Our call for these 
peas is so much that we 
cannot supply all of our: 
customers.”’

TELEPHONE PEA. 
One of the oldest varieties grown. It has been on the market 
for nearly forty years, and is better today than ever. The plant 
is about five feet high, and bears a heavy crop of large, even sized 
pods, well filled with peas of delicious quality; rich, tender, and most 
attractive in appearance. Our stock is remarkably free from small 
podded plants, and is far superior to that ordinarily sold under 
this name. (See cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $2.20 peck, $8.00 bush. 
Henderson’s Dwarf Early Pea, ME cea & | NG MAR ROW. 
Henderson’s Melting Marrow Pea is early, following immediate- 
ly after the extra early sorts, thus filling in the gap between these 
and the midsummer varieties, though by successive sowings Mel- 
ting 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 brush is not essential. 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 Amer- 
ican origin. (See cut). Price, 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush. 
‘*T am Pleased to tell you that Melting Marrow proved the best dwarf pea I have ever 
grown, and I have tried a great many during my gardening ex perience of 59 years. The 
flavor was good and the yield enormous. CHAS. J. FOX, Souih London, Ont., Can.
