HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



25 



TELEPHONE PEA. 



A strong, luxuriant-growing main crop va- 

 riety, attaining a height of about 4J 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 without 

 a peer. Price, 25c. qt., $1.90 pk., $7.00 bush. 



" Your Telephone Pea is the finest pea we ever planted, 

 the yield was 22 to 26 pods to the vine. Our call for these 

 peas is so great that we cannot supply all of our customers." 

 GEORGE SELAKE, Clinton, Conn.

marrow pea, 1 HE bENATOR. 



The Senator Pea grows from 3 to 4 feet 

 high and bears a surprisingly large quantity 

 of large, handsome pods, filled almost to 

 bursting with great succulent peas — as big 

 as small marbles — and of superb quality; 

 the sweet buttery flavor of the true English 

 Marrow Peas, which quality is maintained even 

 through the hot. trying weeks of July. We 

 have grown for three years to further test 

 and acclimate it, and now offer it to our pat- 

 rons with full confidence that it will give 

 thorough satisfaction in every section where 

 peas thrive. (See cut.) 



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



PROSPERITY. 



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



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

 small extra-early one, just one day ahead). I planted them the same day. When they 

 become known they will displace all other early peas. As good as the best lates and as 

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