PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



H enderson's FIKST OF ALL PEA. 



Its first important feature is its extreme earliness, ensuring to 

 the trucker the advantage of marketing his produce so much 

 earlier than those who do not grow it. It is also exceedingly 

 productive. The vines are vigorous and dwarf, about 2| feet in 

 height Another important feature: the entire crop can be 

 gathered at one picking, and every trucker will realize at once 

 the economy in labor in growing such a pea. Moreover, the 

 stock which we are sending out to-day is superior, constant 

 selection has enabled us to eliminate every undesirable feature, 

 such as small double pods, irregularity in height, and weak 

 spindling habit, which forms so large a part of the crop of many 

 so-called " First Earlies." (See engraving.) Price, 30c. qt., 

 $1.90 pk., $7.00 bush. 



"/ picked my first peas from Henderson's First of all, thhe last day of May, 

 and had the vines plowed tip and late Cabbage put. in before any one around here 

 had a pea. It was the heaviest yield I ever saw too." 

 July 2,0th, 1915. B, F. CROSTIC. Harvard. III. 



" Henderson's First of All Peas last year surpassed all other Peas I ever planted 

 during my twenty-five years experience, not only in quantity, but in quality."

ALASKA PEA. 



Alaska is an extra early variety, with slender vines, attain- 

 ing a height of two and a half feet. It is a wonderfully early 

 smooth, blue Pea, with very dark green pods about 3 inches 

 long, well filled with small, smooth, blue-green peas. The 

 earliness, uniformity in ripening and deep color of Alaska renders 

 it very desirable as a market and canning Pea. 



Price, 25c. qt., SI. 50 pk., $5.50 bushel. 



Hendersons PROSPERITY or GRADUS. 



This grand, extra early, large-podded wrinkled Marrow Pea — 



introduced into America by us in 1897 — -has, each year, increased 

 in popular favor, not only steadily but with whirlwind rapidity. 

 This variety, is now indispensable for an early crop. It is 

 quite distinct; no other large-podded sort ripens so early; and 

 at any season, early or late, its quality and appearance insure 

 ready sales. Our stock is a little larger-podded than those 

 ordinarily sold, of great vigor, and free from small pods. When 

 one considers that peas of this superior size and quality are 

 ready for picking only a day or two later than the little round- 

 seeded hard-shell " Extra Earlies," one realizes what a valuable 

 acquisition our Prosperity Pea really is, 3 feet. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 



NOTTS EXCELSIOK PEA. 



This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, usually ready 

 for table in 40 to 45 days from planting. It grows about 14 

 inches high. It is of vigorous constitution, and wonderfully 

 productive. The even, regular habit of the plant is also a 

 great advantages. Price, 30c. qt., $1.90pk., $7.00 bush.
