PEA BOUNTIFUL. 



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 delightful rich flavor, quite 

 superior to all early hard shell peas if gathered before too old. This re- 

 markable feature, combined with its great yield of compactly-filled 

 pods renders it of high value. Height of vine 3 feet. (5^^ cut.) 

 Price, 15c. I pt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush. 



HENDERSONS HEROINE PEA. 



Peas large, very prolific, often 10, sometimes 12 Peas to a Pod. Delicious, 

 Melting Quality. 



Heroine is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, combining quan- 

 tity and quality in a degree surpassed by no other variety. It grows 

 uniformly about 2\ feet high, and is literally covered with its long, 

 heavy, pointed pods. The quality of this pea is simply perfection — 

 that rich, buttery, inarrow-like flavor for which the peas grown in the 

 gardens of Old England are celebrated. Price, 10c. h pt., 20c. pt., 30c. 

 qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 



" Your Heroine Peas are unequaled. I've read of such peas in catalogues but 

 did not believe it. We vxill have more of the Heroine next year. ' ' 



T. S. NORTHRUP, Hawley, Neb. 



" This is the first year I have grown your Heroine Pea and I think it is a wonder. 

 Miss Ritch asked me to send tkem some nice peas for some special occasioti. I sent the 

 Heroine, and I was sent for to give them the name of the peas — they were so relished. 

 They do well as a second crop and are long-bearing." 



HENRY KENWARD, Stamford, Conn. 



HENDERSON'S DWARF EARLY PEA 



MELTING MARROW. 



This is one of the best of the recent English introductions. 

 Our stock has been thoroughly acclimatized and perfectly 

 selected, and is therefore admirablyadaptedforcultureintheU.S. 

 It is peculiarly fitted to resist the trying weather conditions of 

 the American summer, and yet it retains all the fine qualities of 

 flavor and tenderness which have made English peas so famous. 



Henderson's Melting Marrow Pea is early, but not the 

 earliest Pea grown; it follows immediately after the extra early 

 sorts, thus filling in the gap between these and the midsummer 

 varieties, though by successive sowings Melting Marrow Peas 

 may be long enjoyed. 



The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing about 15 

 inch-es high, with sturdy branching stalks that are practically 

 self-supporting, so that trellis or brush is not essential, though 

 low brush or crossed sticks, if convenient, will not be misapplied. 

 The massive pods are produced in prodigal abundance from 

 ground to summit, and are packed with from six to eight im- 

 mense wrinkled marrow Peas of a rich green color, which hue is 

 maintained when cooked, thus appearing especially attractive 

 when served, while the delicious melting quality and superb 

 rich buttery flavor is unequalled by any Pea of American origin. 

 {See cut.) Price, 15c. Jpt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk. 



" Your new dwarf pea. Melting Marrow, is certainly the finest pea in 

 existence. I do not believe there is another pea that can compare with it for 

 earliness, size and flavor. I made the first planting on May loth, and on 

 June 29th (just 45 days), I picked the first mess and they were the sweetest, 

 tenderest arid most delicious peas that we ever tasted. They are all and more than 

 you claim for them." LLOYD H. SANDS, Tolona, His.
