PEA. 
f 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 able 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.)

THE EARLIEST AND SWEETEST 
WRINKLED MARROW PEA GROWN! 
T HOMAS | AXTON 
HENDERSON’S FAMOUS - • 
PROSPERITY PEA. 
A FINE NEW EARLY WRINKLED MARROW. 
An 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. £ pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., 
$9.50 bush. 
PURCHASERS PRAISE PROSPERITY PEAS: 
“ We think your Prosperity Peas are grand, and every one that has eaten them thinks so, too.” 
Miss IDA A. MELLEN, McLean , N. Y. 
*' Henderson’s Prosperity Peas are most delicious to taste and beautiful to look upon. I 
never saw such pea#. Don't think we shall plant any other hereafter.'' 
Mrs. J. E. RING LAND, W. Woodstock, Conn. 
“/ have beaten my whole neighborhood with the Prosperity Peas I got from you two months 
ago.” LLOYD M. MAYER, Linden Farm, Portsmouth, R. I. 
“/ really feel that it is due you to tell you that we had our first peas of the season—your Pros¬ 
perity—for dinner on Decoration Day—which we think remarkable considering the dry spring, 
and the northwest exposure of our garden. The pods were fat and full.” 
Mrs. FRANCES DARR, Gladstone, N.J. 
“/ had a full crop of Prosperity Peas in exactly 48 days from planting last spring, and, 
unlike the usual ‘ Extra Early,' they were as full, wrinkled, and sweet as any late pea I ever tasted, 
better than even the Champion of England, which has always been ?ny 'hobby.' They are all you 
claim, and in future I do not intend to plant any other kind.” 
CHARLES W. BOWMAN, Brownsville, Pa. 
“ My Prosperity Peas are a sight to behold. I picked my first on the 7th of June (a small 
extra early one, just one day ahead). I planted them the same day. When they become known 
they will displace all other early peas. y\s good as the best lates and as early as the earliest.” 
ROBERT BIRCH, Market Gardener, Plymouth, Mich. 
“ Your Prosverity Peas proved prolific; the many pods developed a length of 4'A inches, 
and, when shelled, turned out from eight to ten large peas from a pod; they were a surprise; the 
earliest large pea I ever knew. It is the sweetest, teiiderest. and most delicious Pea 1 ever ate.”
