PEA 
A FINE NEW EARLY WRINKLED 
MARROW 
A N extra early wrinkled 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 sown 
with first earlies, coming in but three or four days 
later than these round hard-shell sorts. It is a heavy 
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 and about as early as Prosperity, though 
some report it 3 or 4 days later. 
Price, 15c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $4.00 pk. 
“We are just eating the last picking of the Thomas Laxton 
Peas. You are too modest in describing this variety. It deserves 
your best praise. We all agree that it is theljest and most delicious 
Pea we have ever grown or eaten anywhere. The dark, thick vines 
loaded with pods are very distinct and the pods are so thick that 
the peas remain fresh and in fine table condition for a long lime, 
while other varieties suffer and the pods dry up with the intense 
heat." Mrs. WINNIE BROWER, Staunton, Va. 
T HIS grand, extra early, large-podded, 
wrinkled marrow Pea — introduced 
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, 
and it would seem as if every one who 
plants our Prosperity Pea recommends it 
to his neighbors, for the demand upon 
us for the seed has annually increased to 
such an extent that we have never yet 
been aide to reserve 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 with 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 wrinkled 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 vigorous, robust growth, about 2 $ 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 
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.)

Mrs. J. E. RTNGtAND, W. Woodstock, Conn. 
“ Your Prosperity Peas proved prolific; the many pods developed a length of inches, 
and, when shelled, turned out from eight to ten large peas from a pod: they ivere a surprise^ the 
earliest large pea 1 ever knew. It is the sweetest, tenderest and most delicious pea I ei'er ale.
