The Earliest Wrinkled 
or Marrow Pea Grown 
Sweet, Luscious, Tender. 
Enormous Marrow Peas in 
.. Early June .. 
As 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,” 
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.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $2.75 pk'., $10.00 bush. 
A FINE NEW EARLY WRINKLED MARROW. PURCHASERS PRAISE PROSPERITY PEAS: 
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, uni¬ 
formly constant to type and about as early as Pros¬ 
perity, though some report it 3 or 4 days later. 
Price, 10c. pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk., 
$9.00 bush. 
“ TT r e had your Prosperity Peas last year and thought them the best we had ei'er eaten." 
Mrs. W. J. CATES, Island Park, Pa. 
“ The Prosperity is certainly a fine pea, and very early. I had them on the table in just 41 
days from planting." TP. O. CHURCH, Wolcott, N. Y. 
“7 have beaten my whole neighborhood with my Prosperity Peas" 
LLOYD M. MAYER, Linden Farm, Portsmouth, R. I. 
“ We think your Prosperity Peas are grand, and every one that has eaten them thinks so too " 
Miss IDA A. MELLEN, McL ean, N. Y. 
“ Henderson's Prosperity Peas are most delicious to taste and beautiful to look upon. 1 
never saw such peas. Don’t think we shall plant any other hereafter." 
Mrs. J. E. RINOLAND, W. Woodstock, Conn. 
"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 elegant success with your Prosperity last season; the (juality was superb.” 
II. C. PACKER, Lock Haven, Pa. 
“ Your Prosperity Peas proved prolific; the many pods developed a length of 4H 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, tenderest and most delicious pea I ever ate." ’ 
JAMES It. SLA USON, Racine, Wis.
