HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



15 



THE AMEER, 2l:: 



This new variety — often called 



Mammoth Alaska" Pea. 



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., $2.25 pk., $8.50 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. The rich, 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, 40c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.60 bush. 



"Henderson's Telephone 

 Peas have the largest pods

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, JV\EL7"I[Ns|Q MARROW. 



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. 



" / 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 experience of 59 years. The 

 flavor was good and the yield enormous. CHAS. J. FOX, South London. Ont., Can.
