Henderson’s 
Famous 
Prosperity 
Pea 
The Earliest and Largest Highly 
Flavored Pea Grown 
be onYourTable Early in June 
The pleasure one enjoys in anticipating 
the first pickings of delicious Peas is very 
quickly realized after planting Hender¬ 
son’s Prosperity. Until its introduc¬ 
tion, the small podded sorts were all 
that could be had so early. While in 
many respects these are excellent, they 
are comparatively poor in flavor. The 
problem of good early Peas was finally 
and completely solved many years ago 
wnen 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 ( see testimonial on this page) pick them as early as 
June 3d. Others have gathered Peas on May 31st, 55 days from the time of sowing. 
The immense size of the pods, borne in such great profusion and so liberally filled, insures a bounti¬ 
ful 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 comparatively small 
space. 
The vines are three feet high, pale green in color; the pods arc borne singly and freely from top 
to bottom 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 
colored illustration.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 
for 4 qts., $3,50 peck. 
Prosperity Peas on Decoration Day 
I send herewith a photo of my rows of Prosperity Peas. I 
planted them on March 17//;. They were buried under 10 
inches of snow on April 3d, but I picked enough for dinner 
, on Decoration Day, and gathered the first lot of ripe Peas on 
June 3d. They are truly wonderful." 
J. II. SLOAN, Kensington Are., Jersey City, N. J. 
“7 had fine success last year with Henderson's Prosperity 
Peas, and with all your seeds. I had Prosperity Peas on 
June 5th, 59 days after planting them." 
CIIAS. F. COMFORT, 11 th Avenue, Moline, III. 
Feb. 12th, 1916. 
“ Henderson's Prosperity Peas I grew last year reached 
9 feet in height and were covered with pods."

CHINESE 
Giant Pepper 
The fruits of this variety are mammoth, averaging 
12 to 15 inches in circumference and, notwithstanding 
the immense size, it is early and prolific; the stocky .well- 
branched plants, about 2 feet high, carry a large crop of 
most attractive Peppers. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, 
sweet and unexcelled for use as salad, or for stuffing for 
“ Mangoes.” When ripe the surface is of a brilliant, glossy 
scarlet. (See colored illustration.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. 
oz., $1.75 U lb., $6,00 lb. 
1 My Chinese Giant Peppers took the prize at the Fair this Fall.” 
Mrs. II. F. REESE, 1207 Dallas St., Selma, Ala. 
“Last year our Chinese Giant Peppers, grown from Henderson's seed, grew 
four feet in height, and bore immense numbers of peppers.” 
J. IF. Di LULLO, Anderson, Cal.
