Henderson’s Famous 
Prosperity Pea 
The Earliest 
Wrinkled or Marrow 
Variety Grown / 
Sweet, Luscious, Tender, 
Enormous Marrow Peas in 
Early June! 
J}s soon as you have here* 
tofore had the ordinary 
early kinds . ^ ^ 
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,’ 1 is the way 
one of our customers puts it, and it would 
seem as if everyone who plants our Prosper¬ 
ity Pea recommends it to his neighbors, for 
the demand upon us for the seed has annu¬ 
ally 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 abun¬ 
dant production of immense pods, each filled 
with from 6 to 10 true, large, wrinkled mar¬ 
row peas of the most delicious flavor—as 
large, as sweet and as tender as the finest 
late wrinkled marrow pea grown. When 
one considers 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, ro¬ 
bust growth, about feet high, heavy-stem¬ 
med 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.) 15c. J pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $3.25 pk., 
$12.00 bush. 
In our experience as seedsmen, for over half a century, we have never received so many eulogistic letters about any one vegetable as 
for Henderson’s PROSPERITY PEA. Space only permits us to print the following: 
‘ I 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 / ever tasted, better than even the 
*Champion of England / which has always been my 
'hobby! They are all you claim, and in future I do 
not intend to plant any other kind!’ 
CHARLES W. BOWMAN, Brownsville, Pa. 
11 My ‘ Prosperity ’ Peas are a sight to behold. 1 
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, yls good as the best lates and as early 
as the earliest.” 
ROBERT BIRCH, 
Market Gardener, Plymouth, Mich. 
“ Your ‘ Prosperity* Peas proved prolific; the many 
pods developed a length of 4*4i inches, and, when shelled, 
turned out from eight to ten large peas from a pod; 
they were a surprise; the earliest urge Pea I ever knew. 
They are the sweetest tenderest and most delicious Pea 
l ever ate.”
