Henderson’s Heroine Pea.... 
There have been so many new varieties of Teas offered in the last few years that planters 
have become somewhat skeptical of the merits of new aspirants for public favor, but the Heroine 
lias been a conspicuous exception. In fact, no new pea since the introduction of “American 
Wonder” has created such a sensation. Every one who sees it wants it — seedsman, market 
gardener and amateur. It is far superior to all other varieties of Peas, and it combines 
quantity and quality in a degree possessed by no other variety. The Heroine is a medium 
early, green wrinkled Pea, grows uniformly about two and one-half feet high and is literally 
covered with its long, heavy, pointed pods — in fact, so striking and distinct is this variety that 
it would be picked out at once in a field of one hundred other varieties. In the cut above we 
show the size and form of the peas, which come eight or nine in a pod. The quality of this 
pea is simply perfection—that rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for which the peas grown 
in the gardens of Old England are celebrated. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.75 peck, $5.50 bushel. 
•HORSPORD’S MARKET GARDEN. A 
grand wrinkled variety, coming in between 
Little Gem and Advancer. The vinos are 2 
feet high, very regular in growth. It is a 
prolific bearer, and lias yielded more shelled 
peas per acre than any other American variety. 
The pods, although of medium size, are 
numerous, and aro literally packed with peas 
of a delicious sweet flavor. 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 
25c. qt., $1.25 peck, $1.00 bushel.
