HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



25 



Bountiful Pea. 



NEW, EARLY, ROUND, BLUE SEEDED. 



This comparatively new English variety 

 is becoming very popular in Great Britain and 

 France on account of its hardiness, productive- 

 ness and fine quality. We have grown it two 

 seasons in this country and find that it does 

 well, even in localities where hot, dry climatic 

 conditions sometimes check the development 

 of wrinkled marrow peas. Round seeded 

 peas are not usually so tender and well flavored 

 as wrinkled varieties, but Bountiful has a de- 

 lightful rich flavor, quite superior to all early 

 hardshell peas if gathered before too old. 

 This remarkable feature, combined with its 

 great yield of compactly-filled pods renders 

 it of high value. Height of vine 3 feet. {See 

 cut.) Price, 20c. pt., o5c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 

 bush. 



Telephone Pea. 



A strong, luxuriant-growing main crop 

 variety, attaining a height of about 4 A feet. 

 It is exceedingly prolific, averaging 18 pods to 

 the stalk, while up to 24 to the stalk is not un- 

 common The pods, the largest of all varie- 

 ties, are packed with immense wrinkled mar- 

 row peas. 6 to 8 being the average, while 10 to 

 12 to a pod are frequently found. The quality 

 is superb, rich, sugary and meltingly tender. 

 For family use the Telephone Pea is with- 

 out a peer. Price, 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.75 

 pk., $6.25 bush. 



P ROSPERITY. 



THE EARLIEST LARGE WRINKLED OR MARROW PEA. 



THIS grand, extra early, large-podded wrinkled marrow Pea — in- 

 troduced into America by us in 1897 — has each year increased 

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

 "Once grown it is thereafter indispensable," is the way one of our 

 customers puts it. 



The distinctive merits of Henderson's Prosperity Pea over any other 

 variety are its extreme earliness combined with its abundant produc- 

 tion of immense pods, each filled with from 6 to 10 true, large, wrinkled 

 marrow peas of the most delicious flavor — as large, as sweet and as 

 tender as the finest late wrinkled marrow pea grown. When one con- 

 siders 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. 



The vine of Pros^rity is of vigorous, robust growth, about 2$ feet 

 high, heavy-stemmed with luxuriant healthy foliage; it bears uni- 

 formly large, handsome pods of large and luscious peas, and although 

 it commences bearing so very early it continues for a long time; the 

 peas also remain sweet and tender for some time after they are fit 

 to pick. (See cut.) Price, 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 



" My Prosperity Peas are a sight to behold. 1 picked my first on the 7th of June 

 (a small extra-early one, just one day ahead). 1 planted them the someday. When they 

 become known thev will displace all other earlv Peas. As eood as the best laics and as 

 early as the earliest." ROBERT BIRCH. Market Gardener. Plymouth Mich, ,
