IN OUR EXPERIENCE SJj 
As seedsmen, for OVER HALF A CEN- $ 
TURY, we have never received so many v[? 
eulogistic letters about any one vege- i}J 
table as for Henderson’s .$ 
“PROSPERITY” PEft. | 
Space only permits us to print the following: ^ 
“ When I saw your advertisement of 'PROSPERITY ’ >1/ 
PEAS, I ordered seed horn you. They proved prolific 
producers, the ninny pods developed a length of 4Vj inches, >1/ 
and, when shelled, turned out from eight to ten large \V 
Peas from a pod; they were a surprise; the earliest large Nit’ 
Pea I ever knew; with early planting they will mature \tf 
here by the loth to 20th of June. They are the sweetest, it/ 
tenderest, and most delirious Pea I ever ate.” it/ 
JAMES II. SLAUSON, Racine, Wis. \V 
“/ had a full crop of'Prosperity ’ Peas in exactly 48 days 
from planting last spring, and unlike the usual ‘Extra x 
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 my ‘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 
in y first on the Ttli of June; from the small extra early 
ones, just one day ahead. I planted them the same day. 
When they become known they will displace all other 
early Peas. As good as the best la tea and as early as the 
earliest.” ROBERT 1I1RCH. 
Market Gardener, Plymouth, Mich. 
‘‘I picked ‘Prosperity ’ Pea on the 18lh of June. It is 
far superior to any early Pea I have ever grown; there 
are eight and nine fine large peas to a pod. It certainly 
is a very fine Pea.” JAMES 1IORROCKS, 
Manager, Crum wold Farms, Hyde Park, N. Y.

The Earliest

HENDERSON’S 
ti 
PROSPERITY” 
W E have never yet been able to offer to our patrons an early Pea 
which possesses in a marked degree more desirable qualities. On 
both sides of the Atlantic, specialists in Pea culture have been 
struggling with the problem how to combine fine quality and pro¬ 
ductiveness with earliness. It must be conceded that hitherto all these efforts 
have failed, inasmuch as we have only been able to offer for very early use the 
round or hard-shell types of “Extra Early Peas.’’ These have a value pecu¬ 
liarly their own, but the quality is far below what we would wish. We feel 
confident that at last a variety has been secured which combines earliness 
with all the good features of the later “marrow” varieties, viz.: delicious 
flavor, tenderness, sweetness, size and productiveness. 
This variety has had very thorough and exhaustive trials conducted in 
various latitudes and under varied conditions, therefore we have no hesitancy 
in making the most extravagant claims for its merits, which are supported by 
the opinions of expert gardeners. 
“ Prosperity 11 Pea grows about 2}^ feet in height; the vine is robust, and 
the foliage is large and vigorous, closely resembling Telephone in general ap¬ 
pearance, though dwarfer and very much earlier. The pods, which are as 
large as Telephone, are produced in great abundance, and are well filled 
with from six to ten peas of enormous size, but, as we have stated, its chief 
value lies in its earliness and delicious flavor; when we consider that a pea so 
large and as rich in flavor as any of the later wrinkled sorts can be had three 
days after Henderson’s First of All, the beet and earliest round or hard-shell variety, 
its value can be readily seen. 
Among those who grow peas for their own use exclusively, there are many 
who plant only the extra early types, because our short spring and hot summers 
are not conducive to the free growth of the later varieties. It is to this class 
of growers that we recommend this variety with confidence. They can now 
obtain early in the season, while climatic conditions are favorable, as de¬ 
licious peas as is possible under any circumstances in this country or any 
other. 15c. % pint, 25c. pint, 40c. quart, $2.50 peck, $8.00 bushel.
