PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



Special pea crop Notio 



SHORT 1^. T ' Not in the memor y of the present generation has there been such a 



shortage of Garden Peas as this year. In all countries where Garden 

 Peas are produced for seed purposes the crop of 1911 was almost a 

 failure. Prices are necessarily higher. The stock will not last long, 

 therefore early orders are advisable. 



Henderson s First of All Pea. 



Its first important feature is its extreme earliness, ensuring to the 

 trucker the advantage of marketing his produce so much earlier than 

 those who do not grow it. It is also exceedingly productive. The 

 vines are vigorous and dwarf, about 2| feet in height. Another im- 

 portant feature: the entire crop can be gathered at one picking, and 

 every trucker will realize at once the economy in labor in growing such 

 a pea. Moreover, the stock which we are sending out to-day is superior, 

 constant selection has enabled us to eliminate every undesirable 

 feature, such as small double pods, irregularity in height, and weak 

 spindling habit, which forms so large a part of the crop of many so- 

 called First Earlies. (See cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $2.60 pk., $9.00 bush. 



The Ameer 



or "Mammoth Alaska" 

 ===== Pea. 



This new variety — often called the " Mammoth Alaska " is rapidly 

 growing in favor among Market Gardeners being planted on an ex- 

 tensive 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 containing from 5 to 7 large blue-green 

 round peas of excellent quality. The crop ripens uniformly about 

 three days later than Alaska. Price, 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush. 



ADVANCER PEA. 



A reliable second early green Pea, just following the first earlies; 

 it is of healthy, compact growth, about 1\ feet high, bearing in 

 great abundance medium-sized pods, but compactly filled with 

 dark green-colored, large wrinkled peas, so tender, sweet and finely 

 flavored that this variety is often known as the Dwarf Champion. 

 (See cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 



H QRSFOKD's MARKET GARDEN PEA. 



A grand midseason wrinkled or marrow Pea noted for its 

 uniform growth, about 2 feet in height, and its prodigious yield. 

 It has yielded more shelled Peas per acre than any other American 

 variety. The pods, though of medium size, are literally packed 

 with Peas of sweet, delicious flavor. Price, 30c. qt., $2.25 pk., 

 $8.50 bush. 



NOTT'S EXCELSIOR PEA. 



This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, usually ready for table 

 in 40 to 45 days from planting. It grows about 14 inches high. 

 It is of vigorous constitution, and wonderfully productive. The 

 even, regular habit of the plant is also a great advantage, particu- 

 larly to market growers. Nott's Excelsior has not only come to 

 stay, but will eventually supersede many sorts of like character. 



Price, 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush. 



"The Nott's Excelsior Peas I bought from you last spring did very well indeed. 

 The crop was a bountiful one, and the vines bore pods from early in July until frost. 

 / am much pleased with the variety."
