PROSPERITY PEA. 



THE EARLIEST AND SWEETEST 

 WRINKLED MARROW PEA GROWN ! 



T HOMAS j_ AXTON pEA. 



A FINE NEW EARLY WRINKLED MARROW. 



An extra early -n-rinkled Marrow Pea that has 

 proven to be a valuable addition to this class. The 

 plant grows about 3 feet high, resembling that of 

 Prosperity, though a little darker in color and of 

 vigorous "hardy constitution, enabling it to be so'mi 

 with first earlies, coming in but three or 

 four da^-s later than these round, hard-shell sorts. 

 It is a heav3' and reliable cropper, of uniform, 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, 

 adding to their attractiveness when served on the 

 table. Thomas Laxton is a good, reliable pea, 

 uniformly constant to type, sometimes as early as 

 Prosperitv, though generallv it is 3 or 4 davs 

 later. Price, 10c. i pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., 

 $8.00 bush. 



HENDERSON'S FAMOUS. 



PROSPERITY PEA. 



The Earliest=^ 



Wrinkled or Marrow Pea 



Grown. 



SWEET. LUSCIOUS, TENDER, 

 ENORMOUS AVARROW PEAS IN 



...Early June... 



AS SOON AS YOU HAVE HERE- 

 TOFORE HAD THE ORDINARY 

 EARLY KINDS. 



THIS grand, extra early, laxge-podded, 

 wrmkled marrow Pea — introduced 

 into America by us in 1897 — has 

 each year increased in popular favor, not 

 only steadily but -ndth whirl-n-ind rapidity. 

 ' ' Once grown it is thereafter indispensable, ' ' 

 is the way one of our customers puts it, 

 and it would seem as if ever}' one who 

 plants our Prosperity Pea recommends it 

 to his neighbors, for the demand upon 

 us for the seed has armually increased to 

 such an extent that we have . never yet 

 been able to reser\-e a sufficient supply 

 for stock seed purposes to allow us to 

 catch up -with the demand. 



The distinctive merits of Henderson's 



Prosperity Pea over any other variety are 



its extreme earliness combined ■n-ith its 



abundant production 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 ■^Tinkled marrow pea 



grown. When one considers 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 \'igorous, robust gro'^'th, about 2J feet 

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

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

 bearing so very earlj' it continues for a long time; the peas also remain 

 sweet and tender for some time after thev are fit to pick. {See cut.) 

 Price, 15c. h pt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bush. 



PURCHASERS PRAISE PROSPERITY PEAS: 



" We think your Prosperity Peas are gratid, and every one that has eaten them thinks so, too." 



Mi^s IDA A. M ELLEN. McLean. N. Y. 

 "Henderson's Prosperity Peas are most delicious to taste and beautiful to look upon. I 

 never saw su^ peas. Don't think we shall plant any other hereafter." 



^frs. J. E. RINGLAWD. W. Woodstock, Conn. 

 "I have beaten my whole neighborhood with the Prosperity Peas I got from you two months 

 ago." LLOYD M. MAYER, Linden Farm, Portsmouth, R. I. 



"7 really feel that it is due you to tell you that we had our first peas of the season — your Pros- 

 perity — for dinner on Decoration Day — which we think remarkable considering the dry spring, 

 and the northwest exposure of our garden. The pods were fat and full" 



Mrs. FRAXCES DARR. Gladstone, N.J. 

 "I had a full crop of Prosperity Peas in exactly 4S days from plmtling la.^t spring, and, 

 unlike the usual 'Extra Early,' they were as full, wrinkled, and sweet as any late pea I ever tasted, 

 better than even the Champion of England, which has always been my 'hobby.' They are all you 

 claim, and in future I do not itxtend to plant any other kind." 



CHARLES W. BOWMAN, Brownsrille, Pa. 

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

 extra early one, just one day ahead). 7 planted them the same dnt/. When they become known 

 they will displace all other early peas. .As good as the best lates and as early as the earlifsl." 



ROBERT BIRCH, .Market Gardener. Plyrnouth, Mich. 

 "Your Prosperity Peas proved prolific: the many pods developed a length of 41^ inches, 

 and, when shelled, turned out from right to ten large peas from n pod: they were a surprise: the 

 earliest large pea I ever knew. It is the siveetest, tenderest and most delirious Pea I ever ate."
