PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— SUPERIOR SEEDS. 



THE TRUCKER'S FAVORITE. 



HENDERSON'S FIRST OF ALL PEA. 



THE FINEST FIRST EARLY EXTANT. 

 A HEAVY CROPPER. 



THE MOST UNIFORM »N RIPENING. 



A MONEY MAKER FOR THE TRUCKER. 



Few vegetables have held their place in the public esteem for so many years as our First of all Pea. It stands to-day un- 

 rivalled, either as a first early or main crop pea; indeed we do not think we are wrong in claiming that it is used to a greater 

 extent than any other variety in any of the seasons in which peas can be obtained. It is the only type of pea which can safely 

 be used at all seasons, and there is none approaching it which can be used in such a variety of climes and over so great a lati- 

 tude; it has grown with equal success in the coldest and warmest climates, apparently having the power to resist extreme 

 climatic conditions possessed by no other type. Since we sent this out there have been many attempts at imitating it, but the 

 enormous increase of sales gives silent testimony to the acknowledged superiority of Henderson's First of All over all would-be 

 competitors, and it stands to-day a money-maker for the trucker and the delight of the amateur. 



Its first important feature is its extreme earliness. It comes into bearing a few days ahead of any other variety, thus 

 ensuring to the trucker the advantage of marketing his produce so much earlier than those who do not grow it. It is also ex- 

 ceedingly productive, the sketch which we here show being no stretch of the imagination, but was taken from a photograph of a 

 crop which is by no means uncommon. The vines are vigorous and dwarf, never exceeding 2\ feet in height, so that no brush- 

 ing or staking is necessary, though in private cultivation it is a decided help, and, of course, greatly economizes space. An- 

 other very important feature for the trucker is the fact that 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 supe- 

 rior, owing to constant and watchful selection by which we have been able to eliminate from it 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 cut.) 



Price, in sealed bags, 30c. quart, $2.25 peck, $8.00 bush. 



ALASKA PEA. 



The earliest blue Pea. The dark green 

 color of the pods makes it extremely desir- 

 able, as it can be carried long distances with 

 out losing color, which quality combined 

 with its earliness and uniformity of ripen- 

 ing, makes it a most desirable Pea for the 

 southern market gardeners. Height, 2 ft. 

 30c. qt., $2.00 peck, $7.50 bush. 



HENDERSON'S 

 FAMOUS 



PROSPERITY PEA. 



The earliest large wrinkled 

 or marrow Pea grown. 



This extra early, large-podded wrinkled marrow Pea — introduced into America 

 by us in 1897 — has each year increased in popular favor. The distinctive merits of 

 Henderson's Prosperity Pea over any other variety are its extreme earliness combined 

 with its abundant production of immense pods, each filled with from 6 to 10 large, 

 wrinkled marrow peas of the most delicious flavor. The vine of Prosperity is of vigor- 

 ous, robust growth, about 2J feet high, with luxuriant, healthy foilage; it bears 

 uniformly large, handsome pods of large and luscious peas, and although it commences 

 bearing so very early it continues for a long time. 40c. qt., $3.00 pk., $11.00 bush.
