Henderson's First -of -All 



Beyond All Question the Earliest Pea Grown 

 I CO The extreme earliness of First-of-AU 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 crop 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.)

"/ 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 vines for the 

 peas."

"Your First of All Peas 

 were very fine. We had some 

 to eat in less that six weeks 

 from sowing."

Price, pkt. 10c. ; 



This is the most prolific of the 



Early Dwarf Garden Peas, 

 and we especially recommend it to the 

 home gardener. It is a decided im- 

 provement 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 eighteen 

 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 satisfaction 

 to everybody. It is well named "Little Marvel." (See illustration.)

Melting Marrow 



Dwarf Early, Easily Grown. Pods Large. Peas Delicious 



1 7c One of the newer dwarf varieties that produces Peas equal in size and rich, 

 1 ' w "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 in 

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



Pkt. 15c.; pt. 45c.; qt. 85c.; 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation paid. 



Nott's Excelsior ££ K^oSffiS 



17Q 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. (See illustration^

Sutton's Excelsior 



A Medium Dwarf Marrowfat Variety, One of the Heaviest Croppers 



1 88 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; transportation paid. 



If part of your garden is higher, warmer, or better drained than the rest, reserve it for your crop of earliest vegetables. Your garden 



will he readv for working a week earlier in spring, if it was dug up in the fall
