HENDERSON’S FAMOUS 
Prosperity Pea 
The Earliest and Largest Highly Flavored Pea Grown 
May be on Your Table in the Latter Part of May 
The pleasure one enjoys in anticipating the first pickings of delicious 
Peas is very quickly realized after planting Henderson’s Prosperity. 
Until its introduction, the small podded sorts were all that could be had 
so early. While in many respects these are excellent, they are com¬ 
paratively poor in flavor. The problem of good early Peas Was finally 
and completely solved many years ago when we introduced Prosperity. 
This really remarkable variety still holds its place, quite unique among 
the numerous Peas on the market. 
It is very gratifying to the grower to be able to supply the table with 
such delicious Peas as early as the first week in June. Some of our 
customers pick them as early as June 3d. Others have gathered Peas 
on May 26th, 55 days from the time of sowing. 
The immense size of the pods, borne in such great profusion and so 
liberally filled, insures a bountiful supply at all times. 
Prosperity should be planted a little thicker than other large-podded 
sorts, as the vine is single stemmed and consequently occupies less 
room than the heavier growing, branching varieties. This is really 
one of its valuable features, for its large crop is produced in a com¬ 
paratively small space. 
The vines are three feet high, pale green in color; the pods are borne 
singly and freely from top to bot tom of the vine and contain from six to 
ten Peas of delicious quality, fully as large and as rich in flavor as the 
Telephone and weeks earlier. 
Continuous, careful selection, patiently practised from year to year, 
has enabled us to keep our stock free from the small podded vines that 
are common to all the large sorts, so that Prosperity is now better than 
ever. (See engraving.) Price, I5c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 
qts., $5.50 peck. 
“ Your Prosperity Pea is certainly a wonder." 
CHARLES M. MOADINGER, Flushing, N. Y. 
“ Your Prosperity Peas last year were covered with fine pods filled with 
delicious peas." 
GEORGE II. LONGFORD, Salmon Arm, B. C. 
“/ have been perfectly delighted with your famous Prosperity Peas. It is just 
fun to pick such lovely peas and the yield is greater than from any other variety. 
We picked over 30 quarts from one short row and only 10 quarts from other kinds 
with same length rows." 
Mrs. JV. II. CRAWFORD, Stratford,'Conn. 
".The Prosperity Peas I purchased from you have been most successful." 
Mrs. E. r II. MOULD, S. Leavitt St., Chicago, i'll.

I must tell you about my Prosperity Peas. They were planted in February during a warm 
spell. I hen the ground froze, but by the 7 th of April every pea had come through and by the 20 th 
of May we had our first mess of green peas. Since then we have picked about 3 'A bushels of them 
and the vines are still in blossom.” •

Henderson’S First- of-All Pea ESiXTSS 
The extreme earliness of First-of-All emphatically distinguishes it from all others. 
*9* forty years it has produced the earliest crop of this delicious vegetable, and is 
still doing do. 
\\ hile it lacks the “marrow” flavor of the larger and later sorts, it has a sweetness 
peculiar to its class, and a flavor which is preferred by many. Anyway, First-of-Ali 
may be eaten and the crop removed while other sorts are maturing, for it has been so 
closely bred to produce its crop on time, that quite often the entire crc 
removed at one picking. The slim. 3-foot vines permit close planting; it 
crop may be

enables it to be planted as soon as frost leaves the ground. (See engraving.) Price

" This spring I purchased 6 bushels of Hen¬ 
derson s First-of-All Peas. They cover three 
acres of land and are simply wonderful. I have 
always had great success with these peas. At 
present they are a mass of blossoms and pods 
already set, and all I have counted contain seven 
peas." BEULAH HICKMAN, 
Plainfield, N. J. 
"The First-of-All Peas I got from you this 
year are something wonderful in bearing and 
flavor." Mrs. W. R. SHULER, 
Robisonia, Pa. 
‘I purchased Henderson's First-of-All Peas 
on Good Friday. I returned to my two-acre 
place and trenched for peas A pril 10 th, planting 
next day two rows and next day two rows of four 
rods in length. I have never picked such full pea 
Pods. 7'here are twelve pods on a vine. My 
first picking was on the Alii of July."
